All use cases11 / 11
Energy reporters
File on deadline with a source you can cite.
Ask what happened on a live grid, get the public dataset and interval behind the answer, and carry the citation straight into the piece.
The decision
What actually happened, which public record proves it, and can the number survive a fact-check before deadline?
Follow the decision.
System state, physical context, and evidence move together — one surface, shown in full, instead of three separate research tasks.
02
See the event on the network
Move from a single cited number to where it happened on the physical grid, so the piece can describe the place, not just the price.
03
Read the operator's own record
Grid events surface the ISO's own notices and operating messages, unrewritten, so a quote can be attributed to the source that actually said it.
The features that do this
The reporting job is the citation, not just the number. Ask the Grid keeps the dataset, interval, and operator's own language attached to every answer.
- 01Grid agent

- 02Grid events
ISO notices and operator messages, unrewritten, so a quote can be attributed to the party that actually made it.
- 03Live market map

Plain-English definitions for the terms that show up in the data, for a story that has to explain them to a general reader.
A number in print that traces back to a named public dataset, not a paraphrase of one.
