Evardi GTM brain

category

market profile

• text: Utilities have limited visibility below the substation and must plan switching and restoration around distributed assets.
• text: Grid operations software competes across outage management, meter analytics and distribution control.

personas

• title: Distribution operations or control room leader
  pains:

  • Cannot see load at every transformer with substation SCADA alone
  • Needs safer switching plans and faster storm restoration
• title: Distribution planning engineer
  pains:

  • Must assess new load and distributed generation with incomplete network data
  • Needs to test the effect of switching at each step
• title: Utility IT and security leader
  pains:

  • Must integrate sensitive operational and customer data
  • Needs evidence that recommendations and data handling are controlled

icp

• text: Electric distribution utilities with SCADA, GIS, billing and meter data, including investor-owned utilities and cooperatives.
• text: Networks with many transformers and outage exposure where virtual measurement can avoid a hardware rollout.

message pillars

• text: Reduce customer interruption through distribution visibility and decisions.
• text: Build transformer visibility from existing data.
• text: Evaluate switching before crews execute it.
• text: Keep utility staff in control of decisions.

objections

• objection: Will we need to install sensors across the network?
  response: The company says its virtual meters use existing SCADA, meter, billing and GIS data; validate coverage and quality in a pilot.
• objection: Can operators trust AI with switching safety?
  response: Evardi describes load checks at each step and utility staff carrying out plans; assess performance against local operating procedures.
• objection: How is sensitive grid data protected?
  response: The site says data is encrypted and does not train a shared model; SOC 2 Type II is underway, not complete.
