Lookahead
Trigger-led watchpoints for AI infrastructure, power, data-centre readiness and emerging-market deployment risk.
Each item links a watchpoint to a concrete client action. The target is early control design, not passive monitoring.
30 days
Watch for
Demand-connections reform, strategic-demand treatment, data-centre queue discipline and evidence requirements.
Client action
Keep connection evidence, PPA route, site readiness and strategic-demand rationale in one decision log.
30–60 days
Watch for
Planning objections, water-intensity concerns, cooling technology claims and local infrastructure constraints.
Client action
Score cooling and water alongside power. Do not leave them as later technical issues after site preference is formed.
60 days
Watch for
Opaque ownership, capability inflation, sanctions adjacency, distributor claims and subcontractor substitution.
Client action
Require a CIDDR-style vendor pack before onboarding, market-entry commitment or JV negotiation.
60–90 days
Watch for
Funding spreads, liquidity stress, FX pressure, procurement pause risk and policy-driven repricing.
Client action
Pre-approve action thresholds before volatility; do not wait for adverse movement before defining controls.
90 days
Watch for
Model/version changes, role allocation, assurance gaps, client data handling and unrecorded AI use in workflows.
Client action
Maintain AI-use inventory, assurance pack baseline, privacy-by-design controls and decision accountability.
