Industry Research
Field-grounded study of what is actually moving capital programs: power, long-lead equipment, labor and the quality of the plans that are meant to control them.
Gigawatt campuses and the new map of schedule risk
On the largest data center programs, the critical path no longer runs through the building. It runs through the utility queue and the transformer factory.

ReadWhat we are studying next
Work in progress at the Barkley Institute. Register interest and we will send each study when it is published.
Where schedule quality breaks down
A cross-sector review of the schedule defects we see most often at baseline, and the decisions they quietly distort.
The grid on the critical path
How interconnection, transformers and switchgear are rewriting the delivery sequence for data centers and power-intensive plants.
Thinking that changes outcomes.
