Pop-Up Announcement: California Regulatory Intelligence

A single CPUC decision can move billions of dollars. But spotting relevant and actionable language in CPUC materials requires procedural fluency and the patience to sift through thousands of filings each year.

For 17 years, I've helped clients navigate this flood from inside high-stakes proceedings. Now I'm launching California Regulatory Intelligence (CRI) as an independent intelligence service to decode CPUC proceedings in near-real time.

CRI brings the art of discernment and interpretative context to regulatory analysis, something AI still lacks. And long before LLMs were mainstream, we were speed-reading dockets and exhuming rate schedules from opaque documents.

• Our conviction: Regulatory fluency will become increasingly valuable as California's energy transition creates unprecedented complexity. Grid modernization, storage integration, transportation electrification, and evolving demand will generate thousands of filings with billions in economic impact over the next decade.
• The pilot: For the next several weeks, CRI is free — we will be monitoring regulatory activity at the CPUC and its sister agencies (CEC, CARB, etc), with a focus on voting meetings, electricity/natural gas rate impacts, and policy developments affecting generation planning and grid reliability.
