How the research works

What is verified?

Each brief distinguishes published source facts from technical interpretation. Dates, budgets and procurement status are tied to official sources. Missing information is explicitly marked.

Where does AI fit?

The planned workflow uses AI to collect, extract and organize source information. Technical review is required before customer delivery. Automated recurring delivery is not yet enabled.

Who is behind EnergyWorks?

EnergyWorks is being developed by Danny Works, drawing on his facilities, HVAC, building controls, GIS and project-development experience. This independent pilot uses public information.
