ROI / Capacity Audit

Quantify proof-adjusted capacity before you promise flexible MW

Start with a Capacity Audit to turn nominal headroom into a Capacity Waterfall, Load Passport, no-proof gap register, and credible business case.

ROI archetypes

Three ways constrained infrastructure turns into financial drag

Phase one keeps the ROI page analytical and conversion-oriented: clear archetypes, fixed scenario outputs, and a direct path to the audit intake.

Accelerated Revenue from Earlier Energization

For AI cloud sites using bridge power or waiting on the grid, the audit shows which launch steps are supportable under declared evidence and policy.

Flex Revenue and Peak Value

For constrained regions, proof-backed flexibility can be evaluated as an opportunity without assuming utility approval or program eligibility.

Stranded Capacity Recovery

For colocation and REIT operators, proof-adjusted virtual capacity separates usable headroom from unsupported claims.

Capacity Waterfall

AI Data Center Load Passport

One inspectable identity for proof-adjusted capacity.

The Load Passport binds accepted capacity to ramp limits, reserve floors, freshness, no-proof gaps, and accepted-headroom evidence.

  • Declared operating policy
  • Binding constraints and margins
  • Evidence-chain status
  • Versioned proof root

Audit proof outputs

The business case is tied to artifacts, not optimistic MW

The Capacity Audit should produce the same proof objects a reviewer can inspect before GridNinja moves beyond Shadow Mode.

AI Data Center Load Passport

A site-specific capacity identity that summarizes proof-adjusted virtual capacity, binding constraints, freshness posture, and declared operating policy.

Who cares

Operators, hyperscalers, investors

Status

sample shape, illustrative

Caveat

Illustrative sample shape. Site-specific evidence is produced during a Capacity Audit.

Illustrative scenario outputs

Output shape first, real calibration during the audit

This release avoids overpromising with a heavy live calculator. It shows sample outputs, assumptions, and the intake that moves the buyer into a real Capacity Audit.

Proof-Adjusted MW Identified

5.8 MW

Illustrative accepted headroom after constraints, policy, and telemetry trust discounts.

No-Proof Gaps Assigned

Telemetry freshness, topology mapping, and policy declaration gaps remain visible.

Candidate Decisions Reviewed

4 statesSynthetic illustrative scenario—not a customer or production result.

Allow, repair, reject, and no-proof outcomes are separated before autonomy expands.

Exportable Proof Artifacts

6Synthetic illustrative scenario—not a customer or production result.

Load Passport, waterfall, ledger, reserve report, no-proof register, and utility packet.

Assumptions

  • Illustrative scenarios assume constrained AI capacity with existing bridge power or recoverable stranded headroom.
  • Public outputs show artifact posture, not guaranteed revenue or utility approval.
  • Proof generation and bounded autonomy rollout are staged after Shadow Mode evidence is established.

Runtime Assurance

Every candidate resolves to allow, repair, reject, or no-proof.

Deterministic verification checks the active dispatch envelope before a receipt and replayable proof record are produced.

  • Proposal
  • RTA decision
  • Proof receipt

Security verification

Complete the verification before submitting.

Do not submit confidential site drawings, credentials, customer data, or security-sensitive topology through this form.

  • Reserve-Floor Report
  • Utility Evidence Packet outline

No-proof register

Missing evidence becomes visible remediation

Telemetry freshness

High severity

Open

-1.2 MW proof discount

Confirm 15-second freshness across feeder, reserve, thermal, and workload nodes.

Topology mapping

High severity

In review

no-proof for thermal envelope

Bind rack groups, feeders, cooling zones, UPS strings, and bridge assets to one proof graph.

Policy declaration

Medium severity

Required

no reserve-safe dispatch

Declare reserve floors, SLA exclusions, allowed repair bands, and rollback posture.
