I built a simple tool that tells data center developers if a site can actually get power before they buy it

Companies spend millions on land for data centers then find out the site can't get power for years, or a local moratorium just killed it. That check is slow and manual today. So I built Estrify. You type in any US location and it reads the public record and tells you the serving utility, the grid operator, state large load rules, local zoning, any moratorium, and water, with a real source and date on every single fact. It gives a plain verdict: proceed, investigate further, or walk away. It never makes anything up. If something isn't in the public record, it says so. Free to scan, no signup. If you're interested, let me know in the comments

    thats cool , what I would also add is census information as well that would be very helpful

    Interesting wedge because it converts fragmented diligence into a decision. To make the free scan commercially useful, I’d show a confidence/coverage summary alongside the verdict: source freshness, records checked, missing fields, and jurisdiction assumptions. For acquisition teams, a downloadable evidence packet with citations and a change monitor could be more defensible than a one-off answer. I’d test three workflows separately—developer screening 20 sites, broker pre-qualifying listings, and utility/interconnection diligence—and measure whether users forward the report or request a follow-up. That distinguishes curiosity from a paid painkiller.

    The “proceed, investigate, or walk away” verdict is the commercially interesting part. Have any developers used Estrify on a real site they were considering, and did its findings actually change the acquisition decision?
