Careers
We hire the brightest, most curious people we can find, from any background, and hand them real ownership from the first week.
The data center buildout is the largest construction program in North America. Most of its record still sits in county portals, utility dockets, and environmental filings that nobody has read end to end.
Values
What We Hold Ourselves To
These commitments decide what we publish and how we work. They are the standard our customers can hold us to.
Evidence first.
A megawatt counts when a permit, a filing, or a utility says so, not when a press release does. No evidence, no number.
Show the source.
Every figure carries where it came from, how confident we are, and when we last checked. Anyone can retrace our steps, and we expect them to.
Say what you do not know.
We flag uncertainty instead of papering over it, because readers commit capital on our work. An honest gap, dated, is worth more than a confident estimate.
Independent by design.
Subscribers pay for the research, and nobody pays us to move capacity. That keeps our read on supply honest, even when the honest number is smaller than the announced one.
How we work
Own a Market. Read the Primary Record
Four rules govern the day-to-day. They are how a small team keeps a large record accurate.
Own a market end to end.
Small team, full ownership. One analyst owns the record for a market, from the first rezoning hearing to the last energized phase, and answers for every figure in it.
Go to the primary record.
We read the docket, pull the permit file, and drive to the site when it matters. Secondary reporting is a lead, never a source.
Write it down.
Methods, decisions, and sources live in documents, not in anyone's head. Writing is how a small team scales its judgment.
Change your mind on new evidence.
We hold views loosely and revise them as soon as a filing contradicts us. Being right next week matters more than matching last week.

Market contributors
Paid, part-time work for people who live in a coverage market and know their county: pulling permit files, sitting in hearings, photographing sites. Built for planners, brokers, and engineers between projects.
Students and early career
Internships and first analyst roles for people who read the filing before the headline. You own a slice of a market, publish under your own name in the newsletter, and learn how capacity gets delivered.
How we hire
Four Steps. No Surprises
We hire slowly and tell you where you stand at every step. Three to four weeks from first call to offer, with a paid work sample in between.
01
Introduction
A 30-minute call about the role, your background, and what you want to own. You ask as many questions as we do.
02
Work sample
A short, paid exercise drawn from live work: trace one project through its filings and write up what is verified and what is not.
03
Deep dives
Two conversations with the people you would work beside, on your sample and on how you think about evidence, sources, and writing.
04
Offer
References, then a written offer with compensation, equity, and a start date. No exploding deadlines.
