We see two common interconnection mistakes: 1. Not watching queue changes closely enough. 2. Relying on canned outputs that everyone else can access. Both create blind spots. Both can lead to costly decisions. Our newest whitepaper explores both. buff.ly/0D7z5Fh

In one facility ratings project, engineers had to update the same equipment in multiple places, manually perform calculations before entering values, and rely heavily on peer review to catch data entry mistakes. That's not an engineering problem. It's a workflow problem.

One of the least visible datasets in the power grid is also one of the most important: facility ratings. The challenge is keeping them accurate as equipment changes, methodologies evolve, and regulations like #FERC881 introduce new requirements. buff.ly/IqETPEO

With FERC Order 2023, projects are studied together, constraints are shared, and upgrade costs need to be allocated across multiple requests. That creates complexity that spreadsheets were never designed to handle. buff.ly/1YxhwlO

Good software does not replace engineering judgment. It protects it. It reduces friction, makes important context easier to see, and helps teams move through decisions with more confidence. In power systems work, clarity is part of the reliability equation.
