01 · The Problem

Infrastructure capital is queuing up faster than the risk of community opposition is being priced in.

01

Land availability

Paces and Anderson have this covered.

02

Ownership

Title platforms handle it.

03

Grid capacity

LBNL data answers this question.

04

Environmental flags

Transect screens for these.

05

Tax incentives

IRA modelers have built the tooling.

06

Offtake

PPA platforms close this gap.

07

Will the community permit construction?

No incumbent has addressed this. It is the only unpriced variable in the stack, and it is where LANDMARQ operates.

"We spend 6 months and $300K engineering a perfect site, only to have 50 angry neighbors kill it at the first town hall. We have no data to predict this."

02 · Value Destruction Cascade

Pricing the risk early keeps the cost from compounding.

Catching it at origination costs nothing. By the time it surfaces in permitting, developers have typically sunk $200K+ in legal and engineering spend.
By construction, you are looking at injunctions, multi-year delays, and financing that has walked out the door.

03 · Competitive Landscape

Incumbents have solved adjacent problems.
Political and community risk has no owner.

The gap persists because acquiring outcome data is genuinely hard.
Opposition signals are unstructured, localized, and buried in municipal PDFs. Building the pipeline to extract and score that data is what creates a defensible position.
