Modules
Every module is a scope of engineering work with the automation that runs it.
A module pairs a defined consulting scope with the Dashboard procedure that executes it: the inputs it needs, the steps it runs, the evidence it keeps and the deliverable it produces. Subscribe per plant, per module. Add a plant or a standard and the same procedure extends to it.
Five kinds of module
How long each kind takes, and how we know it is right.

| Kind | What it covers | Typical time | How accuracy is assured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compliance studies | NERC Operations and Planning (O&P), CIP and regional compliance programs, procedures and evidence | About one week, all in | Every answer cited to its source page. In independent review of an assessment of about 550 requirements, one correction. |
| Modeling studies | Studies that build, verify or simulate plant models | Two to three weeks, all in, including your review | Automated pass or fail against the official test suite, models benchmarked across PSCAD, PSS®E and TSAT, every verdict reviewed and signed by a licensed engineer. |
| Interconnection studies | Queue, study and submission support for new and changing plants | Model packages in two to three weeks; the rest follows the operator's calendar | Packages benchmarked before filing and submitted in the operator's format, with every submission kept on the plant record. |
| Event analysis | Finding, analyzing and reporting what happened on the grid | Days per event, not weeks | Values pulled from the recordings exactly; the engineer rules on the gray areas and signs the report. |
| Forward Deployed | Embedded teams that run the record for you | Ongoing | The same engineers, in your systems, every week. |
