Consulting

Decision support for the people who allocate the capital

I'm an independent analytics consulting principal working in one vertical: infrastructure buildout. When the question is where to put the chargers, the substations, the data-center capacity, or the workforce dollars, I turn it into a recommendation you can fund and defend.

Who I work with

I work with the people who hold capital authority and have to answer for how it's spent — agency directors, utility executives, charging-network leadership, and county economic-development teams. The decisions in front of you don't fail quietly. They get questioned in a board meeting, a public hearing, or a funding review, and the answer has to hold. What you get from me is not a deck of options to sort through. It's a recommendation — ranked, sourced, and built to survive the room where someone tries to tear it apart. I frame the right question, run the analysis end to end, and hand back something you can put your name on.

Four ways the work shows up

Site selection

Where the money goes, in priority order, with the reasoning exposed. For North Carolina's $109M in federal EV-charging funds, I built a five-phase pipeline that ranked all 100 counties on a transparent NEVI Priority Score — every input visible, every weight defensible. When a board interrogates a placement, you can show exactly why this site outranked that one. No black box, no hand-waving. The ranking is the deliverable, but the audit trail behind it is what lets you defend the ranking.

Demand forecasting

Capacity sized to what's actually happening on the ground, not what a vendor brochure projects. For the EV work I built the forecast on 8,000+ real vehicle-registration observations — evidence of where demand already lives and where it's heading — so capacity gets planned before the money moves, not after the gaps show up. Real observations beat optimistic assumptions every time the forecast meets reality. I size the buildout to the demand you can prove, then show the work that proves it.

Equity analysis

Fairness built into the allocation, on the record, where it can be defended. I integrate Justice40 directly into the prioritization model — equity is part of how the score is computed, not a paragraph bolted on after the decision is made. That distinction matters when the allocation reaches a public hearing: you can demonstrate that disadvantaged communities were weighted in the math itself, with the methodology documented and reproducible. Equity that lives in the model survives scrutiny. Equity that lives in the cover letter does not.

Infrastructure gap assessment

Messy operational reality turned into a decision-ready dataset you can actually trust. For the Fayetteville Public Works Commission I audited and reconciled the records across 295 vendors and distilled them into a single clear view of risk and readiness — the kind of dataset a leader can make a call on without wondering what's hiding in the source data. That work is the proof point for this whole practice: the unglamorous discipline of getting the data right is what makes every downstream recommendation defensible. Garbage in, indefensible out.

How an engagement works

In plain terms: you engage me for judgment, not for capacity. Work is either project-scoped — a defined question, a defined deliverable, a clear end — or an advisory retainer when you want a thinking partner on call as decisions come up. Either way, you're paying for an answer and the reasoning behind it, not for hours on a timesheet. This is not staff augmentation. I don't slot into your team to clear a backlog or extend a delivery org. I take ownership of an analytical question, run it to a conclusion, and stand behind the recommendation. If what you need is another set of hands, I'm not the right call. If what you need is the analysis that lets you commit capital with confidence, that's the work.
