Infrastructure Intelligence Platform
Every other diligence tool screens for grid capacity, wetlands, and tax incentives. None of them score community sentiment. We do.

01 · The Problem
01
Land availability
Paces and Anderson have this covered.
02
Ownership
Title platforms handle it.
03
Grid capacity
LBNL data answers this question.
04
Environmental flags
Transect screens for these.
05
Tax incentives
IRA modelers have built the tooling.
06
Offtake
PPA platforms close this gap.
07
Will the community permit construction?
No incumbent has addressed this. It is the only unpriced variable in the stack, and it is where LANDMARQ operates.
"We spend 6 months and $300K engineering a perfect site, only to have 50 angry neighbors kill it at the first town hall. We have no data to predict this."

02 · Value Destruction Cascade
Catching it at origination costs nothing. At permitting it has already consumed $200K in legal and engineering spend. By construction, you are looking at injunctions, multi-year delays, and financing that has walked out the door.
| Stage | Name | Mechanism | Exposure |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 · Origination | The False Positive | Hostile counties pass initial screening. Whisper networks kill landowner deals before LOI. | Wasted OpEx |
| 02 · Feasibility | Sinking the Deposit | Grid deposits and environmental studies committed to sites that will never clear zoning. | Trapped capital |
| 03 · Permitting | The Town Hall Kill | Zoning board denies the CUP after full legal and engineering spend has been deployed. | $200K+ sunk |
| 04 · Financing | Capital Flight | Tax equity and PPA counterparties withdraw when headline risk or schedule uncertainty appears. | Deal collapse |
| 05 · Construction | The Injunction | CEQA and NEPA lawsuits filed after permit issuance. Emergency injunctions stop work. | 12 to 36 months |
| 06 · Operations | Operational Drag | Nuisance litigation, restricted operating hours, and political friction on future county work. | IRR erosion |
03 · Competitive Landscape
The gap persists because acquiring outcome data is genuinely hard. Opposition signals are unstructured, localized, and buried in municipal PDFs. Building the pipeline to extract and score that data is what creates a defensible position.
