Critical Issues Analysis in Minutes, Not Weeks...Yes, Really

Featured Image

Traditional Critical Issues Analyses (CIAs) are slow, expensive, and opaque.

That’s a problem because today’s renewable energy developers need to evaluate locations rapidly and confidently.

 By the time a traditional CIA lands on your desk, the window for exclusivity might be closing, a competitor may already be negotiating right-of-way, or the permitting environment might have shifted. Every delay compounds the uncertainty.

Modern siting platforms let you:

  • Generate detailed CIAs or corridor assessments on-demand
  • Customize and share reports with internal or external stakeholders
  • Include species, soils, permitting matrices, protected areas, and more
  • Add recommendations, notes, and even monitor legislative changes

Best of all, the right platform gives you unlimited report generation and complete formatting control, so you can iterate, compare, and document your sites without friction.

Instead of sending a route or parcel to a consultant and waiting, your team can run a full report, analyze results, and begin risk mitigation within hours—all without leaving the platform.

The faster you can analyze a site, the faster you can secure, prioritize, or eliminate it.
