What is actually happening?
Combine source-linked public information with carefully designed primary observation where existing evidence is insufficient.
Our focus
The real economics
of energy that works.
Our first area of authority is the cost and performance of energy services. The wider agenda connects investment and policy to delivery, use and lasting value.
What changes the decision?
Connect expenditure, financing, service quality and operating conditions. Keep uncertainty visible.
What changed over time?
Build repeatable records that can be updated and corrected, rather than isolated reports that cannot be reconstructed.
Research and product agenda
A connected programme.
A disciplined sequence.
These are development priorities, not five fully operating products. The initial scope is defined by evidence, demand and capacity—not by the ambition of the label.
01 / First area of authorityDesign stage
Energy Cost & Service Observatory
What does obtaining and sustaining a useful energy service actually cost?
Who could use the evidence?
Businesses, institutional buyers, financiers and programme teams
Evidence needed
Documented prices, acquisition and financing costs, observed use, reliability, repairs and stated assumptions.
The next useful step
Define one comparable service and the data required to measure its cost and performance.
Current status: Design priority; no operational observatory or measured series claimed.
02 / Initial commercial testDesign stage
Projects & Policy Ledger
What has moved from announcement to an evidenced milestone?
Who could use the evidence?
Developers, suppliers, investors and public institutions
Evidence needed
Source-linked project and policy records; preserve revisions and conflicting claims.
The next useful step
Test a bounded, paid monitoring brief before attempting national or continental coverage.
Current status: Design priority; no live monitoring service or client contract claimed.
03 / Bounded field pilotDesign stage
Last-Mile Energy Atlas
Where do people obtain fuel, charging, equipment and repair services?
Who could use the evidence?
Distribution and mobility companies, planners and development programmes
Evidence needed
Time-specific, safely collected service-point observations and defined coverage.
The next useful step
Design and assess a small-quantity fuel-retail pilot with participant and location protection.
Current status: Proposed pilot; no fieldwork, mapped outlets or national census claimed.
04 / Partner-led researchDesign stage
Programme Delivery & Finance
How do delivery, verification and payment affect continuing service?
Who could use the evidence?
Programme managers, participating businesses, financiers and evaluators
Evidence needed
Authorized administrative records, including unpaid or unresolved cases and service follow-up.
The next useful step
Agree access, independence and definitions before comparing organizations or programmes.
Current status: Research priority; no programme audit or reimbursement finding claimed.
05 / Selective commissioned workDesign stage
Institutional Energy Intelligence
Which energy options meet a facility’s actual service requirements?
Who could use the evidence?
Schools, health facilities, farms, industrial enterprises and energy-service providers
Evidence needed
Facility needs, engineering inputs, expenditure, reliability and transparent scenarios.
The next useful step
Scope a facility-level decision study with the necessary technical expertise.
Current status: Research priority; no completed facility assessment claimed.
Technology-neutral questions. Pima is a supporting practical initiative and a disclosed interest. It does not determine which technologies our analysis should favour. A proposed research programme is not a funded award or a claim of independent verification.
