Ask the Grid

Power markets should be legible.

Live public evidence, an analytical agent, and private operating context when teams need to go deeper.

The number is rarely the whole answer.

Finding one value is easy. Reconstructing the market around it is not. Ask the Grid puts the market, the physical network, and a tool-using analyst on one surface — so the question stays intact from first search to sourced conclusion.

One dataset, publication to answer

ERCOT’s five-minute real-time LMP report, traced from the published file to the surfaces that read it. Each of the 109 datasets in the catalog is pinned to a source of record, an exact table, and a key the same way.

Four rules for an answer worth acting on.

01

The map is evidence.

Power markets are physical. The answer should land on the node, line, asset, zone, and interval that produced it.

02

The source travels.

Timestamps, lineage, coverage, and caveats stay close to the conclusion instead of disappearing behind a score.

03

The market stays specific.

ERCOT is not CAISO. One interface should preserve the rules, cadence, and native meaning of every ISO.

04

The agent does the work.

Useful answers require searching, querying, calculating, charting, and reporting — not fluent prose alone.
