## Startup Overview

This infrastructure orchestration layer actively migrates cloud workloads to data centers currently powered by renewable energy grids. By analyzing live grid-level energy mixes across cloud providers, it routes compute-heavy tasks to regions where solar, wind, or hydroelectric power is abundant.

Engineering and sustainability teams face rigid deployment models that lock heavy computing workloads into high-carbon grid regions. Instead of relying on annual carbon offsets, this system physically relocates the compute demand. It aligns server capacity requirements with local renewable energy availability, eliminating carbon emissions at the source.

Alternative solutions like Watershed, AWS Carbon Footprint, and manual spreadsheets function as retrospective dashboards that tally emissions long after they occur. This system operates as an infrastructure-native load balancer, executing real-time workload shifts based on live grid telemetry. It actively prevents emissions, replacing static carbon accounting with dynamic compute orchestration.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that shifts cloud workloads to renewable energy grid regions
**Competitors**:
- [Watershed](/Competitors/Watershed)
- [AWS Carbon Footprint](/Competitors/AWS_Carbon_Footprint)
- [Manual reporting](/Competitors/Manual_reporting)
**Differentiator2x2**: real-time rather than retrospective, and infrastructure-native instead of a dashboard

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 90-day pilot scoping one non-interactive background queue across two cloud regions, aiming to prove the 15 percent carbon reduction guarantee without exceeding egress budget.
- A 30-day single-cluster evaluation tracking API scheduling overhead, targeting strict adherence to the under 5 milliseconds latency limit during dynamic green zone routing.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 30 percent emissions reduction for asynchronous batch processing workloads.
- Target: Under 5 milliseconds of scheduling overhead when routing Kubernetes pods.
- Target: 100 percent real-time mapping coverage of major cloud provider grid-emissions data.
- Target: Zero breaches of user-defined maximum latency policies during workload shifts.
**Target Case Studies**:
- A mid-sized SaaS engineering team implementing the scheduler for nightly analytics batch jobs, targeting a 30 percent reduction in workload emissions without violating data processing SLAs.
- A large enterprise infrastructure group utilizing the egress calculator to automate multi-cloud background queues, aiming to hit ESG compliance targets without triggering cloud data transfer cost spikes.
- A machine learning operations team adopting the real-time routing engine for non-interactive model training runs, aiming to prove a 15 percent carbon footprint reduction within 90 days.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- A VP of Infrastructure praising the tool for acting as a live routing controller that actively prevents emissions rather than providing retrospective dashboard reports.
- A Lead Cloud Architect validating that the built-in egress calculator successfully blocks region shifts that would exceed the configured carbon-to-cost ceiling.
- A Director of Engineering confirming the platform shifted non-interactive compute to green zones without causing any latency for end-users.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Cloud providers restrict or rate-limit programmatic cross-region workload migration APIs, breaking the core routing capability. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: High cross-region data egress fees and latency constraints make active workload shifting economically unviable for enterprise customers. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Cloud hyperscalers release native, free workload schedulers optimized for renewable energy availability, eliminating the need for third-party orchestration. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Upstream grid carbon intensity data feeds suffer outages or delays, forcing fallback to static, non-real-time scheduling. · Mitigation Status: in-progress

## Startup Business Definition

**Name**: Calculate Infrastructure Emissions for Enterprise IT Departments
**Layers**:
- **Thesis**: Headless SaaS
- **Template**: api-business
- **Buyer Chain**: B2B → Enterprise IT Buyer → DevOps Engineer
**Vision**:
- **Vision**: Enterprise IT Departments no longer carry the cost of calculate infrastructure emissions; the work runs reliably in the background, and the team that used to do it is free for higher-leverage work in enterprise it department.
- **Mission**: ship the API surface that solves calculate infrastructure emissions for Enterprise IT Departments.
**Industry**: Enterprise IT Department
**Coord Href**: /Startups/Abatementrange
**Processes**:
- Name: Customer Intake · Owner: startup-cs-onboarding · Category: core · Description: Capture a new customer's signup or sales hand-off and route them into onboarding. · Added By Layer: operate-baseline
- Name: API Request Lifecycle · Owner: delivery-platform-engineer · Category: core · Description: Each API call lands, is served, is observed against SLOs. · Added By Layer: thesis
- Name: B2B Sales Cycle · Owner: buyer-chain-b2b-sales-rep · Category: core · Description: From qualified lead to signed contract; the sales rep owns, account management takes over post-close. · Added By Layer: buyer-chain
**Workflows**:
- Name: On New Customer Signup · Description: Event-driven: a new customer signs up → kick off onboarding + record the founding-OKR KR event. · Added By Layer: operate-baseline
- Name: On SLO Breach · Description: API SLO budget breach → escalate to API reliability + capture incident. · Added By Layer: thesis
**Departments**:
- Id: delivery-headless-saas · Code: DEL · Name: Delivery (Headless SaaS — API/Platform) · Description: Delivery primitives for a Headless SaaS Thesis (ADR 0034 §3 + §4 graduation exception). API/platform + DX Positions are Startup-internal pre-graduation because the product IS the software it ships. · Added By Layer: thesis
- Id: startup-operate · Code: OPS-S · Name: Operate (Startup-specific shared services) · Description: Per-Startup operate functions — Customer Success, Marketing, Revenue/Sales, Customer Ops. The Studio default carries portfolio-wide bookkeeping/AP/AR/tax/legal-prep (#239); this overlay adds the Startup-specific operate Positions that have to exist in every operating company. The four-layer specialization (Thesis/Template/spine/Buyer-Chain) then shapes these seats to the Startup's actual shape — additions/overrides happen in those layers, not here. · Added By Layer: operate-baseline
**Description**: An operating company shipping an API/platform that solves calculate infrastructure emissions for enterprise it departments.
