Episode notes
Parallel Workflows Cut Development Time In Half
- Development timelines are compressed by running land, environmental, interconnection and permitting work in parallel instead of sequentially.
- Stuart Pomeroy says Paces bundles those streams into one data-driven ecosystem and cuts development time from 12–24 months to about 6–8 months.
Replace Sequential Consultant Work With Fast Automated Screens
- Replace slow, consultant-heavy sequential studies with automated screening and one-click analyses to save time and money.
- Paces runs initial environmental screens, critical issues analyses and power reports in days to weeks instead of months and five-figure invoices.
High Volume Screening Multiplies Pipeline Conversion
- Improving top-of-funnel screening increases pipeline conversion dramatically by raising the quality of sites evaluated.
- Paces screens 500 sites to deliver 100 high-quality prospects, turning typical 10% completion into 50–60%.
