You just inherited 5,000 systems. Which ones are actually interconnected?
When a fleet changes hands, interconnection truth doesn't come with it. Somewhere in that backlog are systems operating without PTO, applications that expired unanswered, and clawback exposure aging out. Reviewing them one by one costs more than the portfolio earns. Here's how we grade all of them — cheaply, and with accuracy you can measure.
The methodSpend nothing on the 80%. Spend everything on the 2%.
Triage fails when every system gets the same treatment. Our funnel puts free, authoritative signals first and reserves human archaeology for the systems where money actually hides. Cost concentrates where exposure concentrates.
Reconcile what conveyed with the deal
Loan tape, PPA schedule, CRM export, installer spreadsheets — scored for field completeness and internal contradiction. Install date but no PTO after 90 days. FIN with no inspection. PTO with no meter exchange. Stage-plus-age classification against measured flow-through rates tells us what should have happened by now.
Third-party confirmation, in bulk
Public state interconnection registries are downloadable and authoritative — California DGStats publishes NEM interconnection datasets, MassCEC's Production Tracking System and the monthly EDC interconnection reports cover Massachusetts, PJM-GATS covers SREC-registered generation. Bulk address matching confirms interconnected status without a single portal login. Then production telemetry — monitoring accounts usually convey with the fleet — answers a different question: is it physically running?
Verify only where signals disagree
Systems the free tiers couldn't resolve — or resolved as materially risky — get an authenticated portal check: application status, hold reasons, correspondence, deadlines. Human-approved, rate-limited, evidence-captured. Roughly one system in six.
Full reconstruction on the money tail
The few percent carrying real dollars: expired applications, unauthorized operation, transformer or upgrade obligations, clawback-eligible gaps. Letters retrieved, obligations priced, remediation path and cost documented per system.
Disagreement between cheap signals is the product
Two free signals — is it on the registry and is it producing power — resolve most of a fleet on their own. Where they conflict is precisely where the exposure lives, and that conflict is what routes a system to the expensive tiers.
| Registry match | Producing | Disposition | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | Yes | Clean — interconnected and live | No action |
| Yes | No | Interconnected but down — O&M issue, not IX | Service queue |
| No | Yes | Possible unauthorized operation — urgent | Tier 2 → 3 |
| No | No | Stranded — never energized or abandoned | Tier 2 → 3 |
| No public registry in state | Coverage gap — labeled UNKNOWN, never guessed | Tier 2 sample | |
Every disposition carries a label: VERIFIED with its source, INFERRED with its basis, or UNKNOWN with what it would take to resolve. For a diligence buyer, "412 systems unresolved, $18 each to verify" is worth more than a confident number that turns out to be wrong.
Proving itWe measure the accuracy instead of asserting it
A stratified random sample is pulled from every tier and run through full Tier-3 verification. You get measured per-tier accuracy on your portfolio, not a marketing claim — and if a tier underperforms on your fleet, its threshold moves before the full run.
This is the same discipline that caught a transformer-overload hold with a 15-business-day respond-or-withdrawn deadline — 11 days before the application auto-died. The system of record showed nothing; the truth was in the utility portal and one phone-call log. At portfolio scale, that is not one project. It's a line item.
OutputDollar-weighted, not status-weighted
Asset managers don't need project statuses. They need to know what they're holding and what it costs to fix:
- Clean — interconnected, confirmed, no action
- Paperwork gap — real system, missing record; cheap to close, priced per system
- Active blocker — work required, with owner, next action, and timeline
- Regulatory exposure — unauthorized operation or expired application; escalated immediately, not batched
- Stranded — unrecoverable without capital; write-down candidates with the evidence to support the number
Delivered as a per-system disposition file, a portfolio exposure summary with counts and dollars, and a remediation plan sequenced by deadline pressure. Systems needing work can move straight into a remediation desk — the same control system, run continuously.
PricingPriced per system, scaled to volume
| Stage | Scope | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Portfolio Triage | Tiers 0–1 across the entire fleet: dispositions, exposure buckets, accuracy sample, remediation plan | $4 / system500 min. |
| Verification Pass | Tier 2 authenticated portal checks on the unresolved and high-exposure subset | $18 / system |
| Deep Archaeology | Tier 3 full reconstruction, obligations priced, remediation documented | $75 / system |
| Remediation Desk | Ongoing unstick execution on systems under active work — human-approved, tracked to proof-of-done | $12 / system / mo |
A 2,000-system fleet typically runs $8,000 triage plus roughly $6,000 of verification on the ~18% that needs it — under $8 blended per system to know exactly what you hold. Quoted precisely after the free sample.
