Queue filings, tariffs, ordinances, hearing records, parcel and grid layers, water and fiber data — pulled fresh per engagement, not from a stale library.
Most siting advice is a black box: a brand name, a PDF, and a "trust us." We publish how we work instead. Every layer sourced. Every assumption exposed. Every claim labeled. If you disagree with a weight, change it — the model is part of the deliverable.
Queue filings, tariffs, ordinances, hearing records, parcel and grid layers, water and fiber data — pulled fresh per engagement, not from a stale library.
We structure filings, ordinances, and minutes into records you can compare — each one carrying its source and retrieval date.
A reproducible GIS model: setbacks and receptors mapped, queue context joined, tariff economics computed, risks scored with exposed weights.
A dedicated adversarial pass tries to break every conclusion, using our catalog of documented project failures as the checklist.
Confirmed · Likely · Unverifiable. Nothing ships without a label, and "unverifiable" comes with exactly what a ground visit must check.
A named reviewer signs every deliverable and defends it line by line. Accountability never leaves a person.
Written verdict, the model itself, and a full source appendix. You can audit us — that's the point.
No transaction fees. No incentive-contingent pricing. No stamped engineering (we bring licensed PEs in when you need stamps). No verdicts we can't defend line by line.
Verified against primary sources — filings, statutes, recorded votes, executed documents. Cited so you can check.
Supported by strong indirect evidence, stated with its reasoning and what would change our mind.
Cannot be established remotely. Flagged, never guessed — with the exact question your ground visit or utility meeting must answer.
| Project | What killed it | Would the screen have flagged it? |
|---|---|---|
| PW Digital Gateway, VA — $24.7B | Rezoning voided on a public-notice defect; partners exited; project terminated 2026 | FLAGGED — procedural-trap check catches notice requirements per jurisdiction |
| NV Energy / Tract dispute, NV | Developer says promised power wasn't delivered; litigation 2026 | FLAGGED — commitment-language vs. contract review is core S3 scope |
| Fort Meade area project, MD | Halted on water permitting despite local approvals | FLAGGED — water regime screened independently of zoning status |
| Karis Critical, Naperville IL | Rejected 6-1 even after design concessions | FLAGGED — vote-history and sentiment scoring; concessions don't cure formed opposition |
| Brandy Station, Culpeper VA — $12B | 426-acre rezoning unanimously denied | FLAGGED — board composition and land-use vote record |
| Tract, Goodyear/Buckeye AZ — $14B | Withdrawn: heights, noise, resource strain | FLAGGED — ordinance-parameter survival check against concept massing |
| Meta-linked project, MI — $1B | Withdrawn over water, grid strain, transparency; township then imposed a moratorium | FLAGGED — water grievance + transparency posture in permission score |
| Roundhouse, Cascade Locks OR | Canceled after officials who backed it were recalled | FLAGGED — electoral-risk signal in jurisdiction scoring |
Backtests use only information available before each project's failure. Full evidence files in the published Backtest Book white paper. (Demo content — illustrative of the planned artifact.)
We maintain standing coverage of queue filings, ordinances, tariffs, and years of hearing minutes — reading that costs a traditional consultancy a quarter of billable time, done before you ever call. That head start is why our prices are fixed and our turnarounds are days. And every Buildable verdict is signed by a named analyst, with their reasoning attached.
