12 MW inference site
Western U.S. · fictional inputs · example brief structure
Advance only if the utility and cooling gates clear. Test a 4 MW first stage before full-load commitments.
The site thesis is plausible, but the current evidence does not support a 12 MW commitment.
The useful next move is a smaller, flexible first stage paired with direct utility questions and a dry-cooling screen. This example does not infer substation capacity, an interconnection date, or environmental clearance.
Regional supply is visible, but site-level deliverability and interconnection timing are not established.
Stage 4 MW first and retain at least 24 shiftable compute hours per week.
The workload can move into favorable hours, but tariff and generation traces are still missing.
Dry cooling lowers water exposure; heat, land, habitat, and permitting still require review.
Every conclusion keeps its evidence class.

Questions for the next counterparties
- Utility: What capacity can be studied at this point of interconnection, on what timeline, and under which study process?
- Compute operator: Which workloads can pause, shift, or curtail without breaking service commitments?
- Cooling engineer: What dry-cooling performance and parasitic load should be expected at local design temperatures?
- Environmental team: Which water, heat, land, habitat, and permitting constraints require field verification?

This fictional sample demonstrates format and evidence boundaries only. A paid Power Passport uses current public records and customer-authorized material for the accepted scope. It remains pre-feasibility decision support—not engineering, confirmed utility capacity, an interconnection study, or legal, tax, financial, investment, permitting, or environmental advice.
