Enterprise — sub-metered
What this tier can tell you
1 Hz, sub-metered circuits · via BMS / aM&T integration, or dedicated sub-meters
- Everything the meter-data tier does
- Attribute load to circuits and plant, not just to a site
- Event-level diagnostics — “the air handling unit started at 04:12”
- Demand and power-factor analysis
- Appliance-level disaggregation (NILM) becomes reachable
What it cannot
Stated, because a capability nobody contradicts becomes an assumed one.
- Be delivered without hardware and on-site engineering
- Compete on onboarding friction — that advantage is the other tiers’
What exists today
- A synthetic sub-metered dataset. A fictional Bahrain cold store — Cold Store · Sitra Industrial 3 — with four real sub-circuits (refrigeration, HVAC, lighting, dock & EV) as half-hourly meters, rooftop solar, and injected faults the real engine detects: a compressor step change and dock lighting left on after the shift. See the SME screen →
- Still to build for a real deployment: capability gating (running only the detectors the data resolution supports —
N3rgyAdapterdeclarescapabilities; nothing consumes it yet), event-level diagnostics at sub-minute resolution, and the BMS/aM&T integration path itself.
The decision this tier implies
Sites that already have sub-metering usually already have a BMS or aM&T system. So this is not a greenfield upsell — it competes with an incumbent, on their turf, with integration work.
PROJECT_PROPOSAL.md §4 explicitly excludes BMS integrations requiring on-site engineering, and the whole pivot was away from hardware. This tier walks back toward it. That may well be right — owning the upgrade path beats ceding it — but the onboarding-friction advantage the other tiers compete on does not transfer.
A synthetic sub-metered dataset can demonstrate the product surface honestly. It cannot validate disaggregation accuracy — that would be testing a model against data generated from its own assumptions. Any accuracy claim needs real sub-metered ground truth.
