The fight for your project is a political campaign. We know how to win it.
Utility-scale solar, battery storage, data centers — these projects require local approval, and local approval is a political outcome. The opposition shows up organized and emotional. We bring real political experience to the local fight for your license to operate.
While our deepest experience is in energy infrastructure, the discipline is the same for any project that needs community acceptance to move forward — data centers, manufacturing facilities, transit projects, or any development where local approval is the gating factor.

COMMUNITY INTELLIGENCE
Survey+
Survey+ is a community intelligence service that combines original survey data, deep human-powered research, and mapping technology to help you make informed decisions and prepare for opposition.
This is not an AI sentiment tool. This is not national polling data applied to your zip code. This is original, human-powered intelligence — Real, Not Modeled — about the specific community where your project lives.
Sentiment, Mapped to Real People
Every respondent is a data point on a map — with their stated reasons attached. Individual people, at individual addresses.
Influencer Identification
We identify who matters: elected officials, faith leaders, landowners, business leaders. The people whose voices carry weight with the board that will vote on your project.
Opposition Intelligence
Know who is against you before they show up organized at a public hearing. Survey+ identifies opponents, researches their backgrounds, and maps their relationships to decision makers.
A List You Can Actually Use
Supporters verified, enriched with contact data, and ready to activate. Not a spreadsheet of survey responses. A real roster for a real campaign.
WHEN TO CALL US
- You need a greenfielding assessment before selecting a site — Survey+ can help you evaluate markets before you commit
- You’ve secured a site and need a community engagement strategy before opposition forms (ideal)
- Opposition has already organized and your project is at risk (we’ve won these too)
