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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
