AI companies don't need a lobbyist. They need a state playbook.
Can we build 500 MW here? How long will permitting take? Will Medicaid cover this? Will the Governor stand up if opposition arrives? Those are our questions to answer.
The problem we are hired to solve
“Can we build a 500 MW data center in this state?”
Site selection, PSC strategy, utility negotiations, and incentive stacking — from a 50 MW build to a 500 MW campus.
“How long will permitting take, and will the PSC object?”
Four regulatory layers — legislature, PSC, utility, parish — sequenced into one project timeline rather than four separate fights.
“Can hospitals legally use our product, and can Medicaid reimburse it?”
State licensing boards, Medicaid pathways, and provider adoption cycles move slower than the technology. We bridge that gap.
