Compute Operator Journey
Technical Due Diligence
Validate power, network, and site readiness before committing capital
ProgressStep 3 of 5
Power Feasibility
Utility LOA for 'X MW' capacity with upgrade path
Transformer lead-times and interconnect milestones mapped
Thermal constraints and derating assumptions documented
Network Feasibility
Fiber routes and carriers validated; diverse entrances confirmed
Latency budget: metro and backbone measured vs SLO
Backhaul risk plan with secondary ISP or 5G failover
Site Readiness
Floor loading, clear heights, and egress meet spec
Cooling concept validated (air or liquid); noise and permitting checked
Environmental and zoning constraints flagged
Due Diligence Checklist
- • Utility capacity letter & upgrade timeline
- • Carrier LOAs, route maps, and diversity proof
- • Geotech and environmental baseline
- • Structural and fire/life safety review
- • Cooling load, curves, and envelope
- • Noise and emissions assessment
- • CapEx/OpEx model with sensitivity
- • Risk register with mitigations
Decision Gate (Go/No-Go)
Proceed if power/network feasibility is green, site risks are bounded, and model returns meet hurdle rate at P95 timeline.
