The gap

Nobody's job is to read the dockets

Federal and state regulatory dockets keep moving every week, whether or not anyone is watching them. Rate proceedings, interconnection rules and compliance deadlines accumulate the same way regardless of utility size. A cooperative serving 15,000 customers typically has no one whose job is to read them.

The first product

One page, assembled from a week of filings

The first product in development is automated docket monitoring. It will watch the relevant proceedings, score each item against a relevance profile set by the utility, and deliver the result as one page — built to be read in five minutes and handed directly to a board.

Day 1

A proposed interconnection rule is docketed with a state commission.

Day 3

Each filing will be scored against a relevance profile the utility sets.

Day 5

The digest will be assembled — one page, plain language, ready for the board.

Illustrative product mock — not an actual filing.

Weekly Docket Digest Sample week
  • SAMPLE-001 92 High relevance

    Proposed interconnection rule would shorten the study timeline for small generators — worth flagging to engineering before comments close.

  • SAMPLE-002 58 Medium relevance

    State commission opened a proceeding on capital cost recovery for grid hardening — early stage, no action needed yet.

  • SAMPLE-003 24 Low relevance

    Draft reliability reporting standard would add a filing requirement above 10,000 meters — still a proposal, worth a note and nothing more.

Scope and terms

What it covers, and what it costs

Coverage. FERC eLibrary at launch. State commission coverage will be added per utility — name your commission and we will scope it. We would rather tell you what is covered today than imply more.

Cadence. One digest a week.

Engagement. A fixed-fee pilot is planned with a small number of utilities this year, converting to a monthly subscription if it earns its keep. Priced per utility, not per seat. Pilot engagements start in the low four figures.

Who it's for

Built for utilities without a compliance department

It is being built for electric cooperatives and municipal utilities under 50,000 customers, and for small to mid-size water utilities — organizations with real regulatory exposure and no dedicated compliance staff to match it.

What we bring

The utility side and the automation side

Ten years in electric utility engineering, combined with automation and applied-AI work. Most firms selling AI to utilities understand the AI and not the utility. This one was built the other way around.

The studio is deliberately small: small enough to stay close to the engineering, and to build the product for the utilities it is meant for rather than for the largest possible market.
