Regional Siting Intelligence For Digital Infrastructure
Our AI-assisted infrastructure decision platform helps data center stakeholders such as owners, investors, developers, and others identify the most suitable development regions faster by showing tradeoffs across energy/grid, carbon, water, policy, and risk in one engine.
What is DCDE?
The Data-Centric Decision Engine (DCDE) is a comprehensive site selection and analysis platform designed specifically for data center development. It combines real-time data from multiple sources to evaluate and score potential locations across five critical dimensions.
Multi-dimensional Analysis
DCDE evaluates sites across Energy & Grid, Water, Carbon, Policy, and Risk factors, providing a holistic view of location viability.
Data-Driven Decisions
Our platform aggregates data from utility providers, government agencies, environmental databases, and market intelligence to deliver actionable insights.
Comparative Scoring
Side-by-side comparison tools help you evaluate multiple sites simultaneously, ranking them based on your priorities and requirements.
Five pillars of site intelligence
Energy & Grid
A composite indicator of energy cost, grid characteristics, and infrastructure readiness that affects the feasibility and operating economics of data center development.
Water
A composite indicator of long-term water scarcity, stress, and drought-related risk that may affect the feasibility, resilience, and long-term operating suitability of data center development.
Carbon
A composite indicator of current and projected grid emissions that reflects the carbon intensity of operating a data center in a given region.
Policy
A composite indicator of incentives, regulatory conditions, and policy support that affects the attractiveness of data center investment.
Risk
A composite indicator of physical climate hazards, resilience challenges, and development-related cost pressures that could affect project delivery, continuity, and long-term site performance.
