Interactive Calculator
Site Readiness Calculator
Score a single site across the six readiness dimensions. Every input is weighted the way we weight it in a live diligence, and the outputs show what the site can actually deliver.
Site Readiness Index
80 / 100
Power Availability
Firm capacity, queue position and redundancy
82
weight 30%
The critical IT capacity you want the site to carry at full build.
Total facility power divided by IT power. Drives how much grid capacity you need.
Water Security
Basin stress, allocation and cooling fit
80
weight 15%
Fiber Density
Carriers, diverse routes and latency
74
weight 15%
Land Suitability
Area, zoning and ground conditions
88
weight 15%
Regulatory Environment
Permitting, incentives and policy stability
73
weight 15%
Climate Risk
Flood, seismic and thermal exposure

How the score is built
Each input is converted to a score out of 100, averaged inside its group by field weight, then averaged across groups by the group weights below. Inputs without a weight feed the calculated outputs only.
- Power Availability30%
- Water Security15%
- Fiber Density15%
- Land Suitability15%
- Regulatory Environment15%
- Climate Risk10%
Reading the result
80+Ready to underwrite
The fundamentals hold up. Move to detailed diligence and term sheets.
65+Conditionally ready
Workable, but two or three conditions need to be closed before capital is committed.
45+Material gaps
Several inputs are below the threshold we would accept. Treat as an option, not a commitment.
0+Not investable yet
The constraints outweigh the opportunity on the numbers entered.
The working canvas
The calculator is the quantitative half. This is the page your team fills in around it, block by block, in a workshop or a diligence session.
