Site Viability Audit
A fast, honest first read on any data center market.
The Site Viability Audit is Callosum's module-by-module diligence product — political environment, regulatory posture, utility power & water, labor market, fiscal structure, environmental risk, comparable precedent, and site control, synthesized from live public data into one clear-eyed read before you commit capital or public communications to a market.

How it works
Each audit is built on public records and live registered data sources — BLS, EIA, LegiScan, state and county filings, local reporting — and delivered as a private, client-specific report. It is a moderate-depth first read on a market, not a substitute for specialist tax, real estate, engineering, or legal diligence.
