Architecture option studies
Compare redundancy topologies, UPS classes, and distribution strategies against availability targets, white space, and growth envelopes.
Consulting engagements that change decisions
Short, high-consequence studies with recommendations executives can act on-and engineers can defend-before procurement locks the wrong path.
Storage & hybrid economics
Separate peak, backup, and renewable-firming value streams so BESS decisions are not sold on a single spreadsheet myth.
Vendor & programme assurance
Independent review of bids, interfaces, and commissioning plans so accountability is clear before contracts multiply.
Portfolio standardization
Site classes and standards for multi-campus or network fleets-shared governance without forcing identical BOMs onto unlike loads.
Decision support
From board brief to executable next engineering step
Consulting ends with a preferred path, residual risks, and the engineering or delivery work that must follow-not a library of options with no owner.
When consulting is the right first move
Use consulting when capital, politics, or technical uncertainty make a premature equipment purchase the most expensive mistake available.
Decision support before capital hardens
Consulting engagements resolve topology trade-offs, storage economics, renewable boundaries, and vendor accountability while options remain open. Studies end with a preferred path, residual risks, and the next engineering step-not a library of unowned alternatives.
Recommendations prioritize architecture fit. Where Trident platforms are appropriate we say so; where they are not, we document the rationale that protects availability.
Option studies, bid assurance, and portfolio standards
Architecture comparisons weigh redundancy, white space, and growth envelopes. Storage studies separate peak, backup, and firming value streams so BESS is not sold on a single spreadsheet myth. Bid evaluation forces vendors to answer the availability argument, not only unit price.
Multi-site standardization defines site classes and shared governance without forcing identical BOMs onto unlike loads-essential for network and campus portfolios.
From board brief to executable engineering
Many clients convert the preferred option into detailed design with team continuity; others carry the report to their consultant of record. Either model works when interfaces and decision gates stay clear and timelines match the FID or RFP clock.
Consulting FAQs
What executives and engineering leads ask before commissioning an independent review.
Consulting recommendations prioritize architecture fit and risk. Where Trident platforms are appropriate we say so; where they are not, we recommend the path that protects availability-and we document the rationale either way. Advisory work inside these engagements stays decision-led, not catalogue-led.
Most decision-support studies run weeks, not quarters-scoped to the decision gate. Portfolio standardization programmes run longer because governance and site classes need stakeholder alignment.
Single-lines or schematics, load and growth assumptions, outage history if available, and the constraints that are non-negotiable-SLA, white space, capital envelope, and compliance drivers.
Yes. Many clients convert the preferred option into a detailed design package with the same team continuity. Others take our report to their consultant of record; either model works when interfaces stay clear.
Yes-scoring criteria, interface checklists, and commissioning requirements that force vendors to answer the availability argument, not only the unit price.
