What is an Adversarial Efficiency MOT and how does it differ from a standard energy audit?
+
A standard energy audit relies on self-reported data and manual inspections — typically taking weeks and costing thousands. Our Adversarial Efficiency MOT uses 100 kHz pulse-response diagnostics to measure the intrinsic electrical characteristics of an asset, independent of any reported data. This means we detect tampered baselines, forged performance logs, and internal failure precursors that standard audits completely miss. The "adversarial" element means we treat every asset as potentially compromised the only approach that provides the high-assurance verification required by insurers and green lenders.
How does the zero-capex model work for factory operators?
+
Under our EPC-as-Code model, factories pay for energy-saving upgrades (VFDs, HVAC tuning, harmonic filters) entirely through the verified savings those upgrades generate. The IEOM platform automates Measurement & Verification independently confirming that savings are real before triggering payment. This eliminates the financial risk for the factory. Baseline freezes, weather normalization factors, and production-aware adjustments are all handled automatically by our contract engine, removing the legal overhead that typically makes these deals uneconomic for mid-market factories.
What industries and asset types does the platform support?
+
IEOM is purpose-built for mid-sized UK industrial facilities, with specific calibration for pharmaceutical manufacturing, food & beverage processing, and general manufacturing. Supported asset types include industrial chillers, compressors, Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), Air Handling Units (AHUs), high-pressure boilers, UPS systems, and electrical panel infrastructure. The platform operates effectively in high-vibration, high-load environments the conditions that invalidate many commercial building-focused EMS tools. Minimum site energy spend of £200k/year is recommended for full Micro EPC deployment.
How does IEOM comply with the PRAM Act 2025?
+
The Product Regulation and Metrology Act 2025 mandates enforceable safety rules for energy assets and requires third-party performance certification infrastructure. IEOM was architecturally designed to be this infrastructure. Our Compliance Hub provides the "Technical Truth Layer" required by the Act generating tamper-evident Energy Passports with immutable audit trails, metrological grade diagnostics aligned with OPSS standards, and the "Negative Certificate" mechanism for non-compliant assets. We are actively engaged with the Office for Product Safety and Standards on upcoming regulatory guidance.
What is the current development status and what validation has been completed?
+
IEOM is at TRL 7 System Prototype Demonstration in Operational Environment. The prototype has been validated on over 100 degraded industrial utility assets, achieving 92% accuracy in detecting hidden failure modes and baseline resets, 95% adversarial tamper rejection, and sub-15-minute diagnostic throughput. All five core architectural elements are integrated and functional. We are progressing toward TRL 8 with portable MOT Kiosk hardware development underway, API ecosystem integration in progress, and provisional patent filings for the proprietary fingerprinting algorithms and Adversarial Trust Score.
How does the platform integrate with existing factory infrastructure?
+
The platform is designed as a software overlay that integrates with existing SCADA, BMS, and IoT infrastructure without requiring specialized hardware installation in most cases. Open APIs allow "plug-and-play" deployment across national energy hubs, insurance portals, and smart grid controllers. For full Micro-EPC functionality, our portable diagnostic hub can be deployed onsite. The edge inference architecture allows the system to operate in facilities with limited cloud connectivity, with local processing handling the most compute intensive diagnostics.
