■ INFRA.SCORE :: buy-side technical due diligence :: v0.1 status: online _

The AI data centre you are being sold
may not run a single GPU.

Independent technical due diligence for mid-market AI-ready sites. We apply the same rubric Uptime Institute and NVIDIA reference materials have published for years. The mid-market has not been using it. That is the gap. That is us.

01 / WHAT WE DO

Three services. Each answers a question
the market has not been answering honestly.

/services
01 :: $15-25K 1-2 wk technical_due_diligence.pdf
10-12 page buyer-grade scorecard. Tier rating, power quality, cooling architecture, NVIDIA reference compliance, interconnect path, expansion ceiling, and the risk factors nobody put in the CIM. One site, one honest rubric.
02 :: $5-10K 3-5 days red_flag_scorecard.pdf
Lightweight assessment of a site you are about to investigate further. When "run the full DD" is the wrong next step, this is. Keeps you from spending real money investigating a site that was already dead on paper.
03 :: $15-50K 3-4 wk site_readiness_assessment.pdf
Pre-RFP evaluation for sellers and buyers. Is this site actually what the developer says it is. Evaluated under the same rubric as buyer-side DD so both sides are looking at the same numbers.
02 / THE SIGNATURE

Scorecards rendered as scorecards.

Box-drawing characters. Tabular numbers. Zero decoration. This is the voice of the brand. Every paid report closes with one of these. Every episode. Every article. One glance tells you where a site lives.

03 / METHODOLOGY

Seven questions. The same seven
we ask every site.

Applied in order. Two red flags on any of the first four end the conversation. Three yellow flags on the last three mean a price adjustment. We publish the rubric because we want more buyers using it, whether they hire us or not.

  1. Tier equivalence. Is the site Tier III equivalent under Uptime Institute criteria, or is that being confused with having backup generators? Concurrent maintainability is the question. Generators alone do not answer it.
  2. Interconnection queue. What is the actual utility interconnection queue position, not the sales-pitch number of months? We want to see the queue letter, the voltage class, and the realistic activation date.
  3. NVIDIA reference compliance. Is the design built to NVIDIA reference materials (MGX 1.3, 800VDC-ready) or is that "the client's problem to validate"? A site not designed to the reference is a site the next generation of racks will not fit in.
  4. Cooling architecture. Is cooling designed for direct liquid at commissioning, or is it "we can add it if needed"? Retrofitting DLC after the first crack of rack is a rebuild, not an upgrade.
  5. Ride-through. Is there UPS or BESS for power ride-through, or just "we have generators"? GPUs crash in milliseconds. Generators start in seconds.
  6. Expansion ceiling. What is the real expansion ceiling in megawatts, not the number in the deck? Substation headroom, land footprint, cooling capacity, interconnect agreement. All four cap it. The smallest one wins.
  7. Commercial model. What is the PPA structure, tax treatment, land tenure, and offtake backstop — actually closed and signed, or "the developer says it is imminent"?
04 / INSIGHTS

Analysis that does not pull punches.

Long-form essays and short explainer episodes on the questions above, applied to real public sites. Anonymized where anonymity is owed. Named where naming is earned. Delivered as email, YouTube, and podcast. One piece per month minimum, more when the market deserves it.

We will wire this to our newsletter platform before public launch. No spam. Unsubscribe link on every email. We send when we have something. We do not send on a schedule to hit a schedule.
