A breakthrough, quantitative read on the posture of every U.S. jurisdiction toward large-scale development — analytical intelligence before capital commits, not after.
Every siting decision is a bet on how a jurisdiction will behave. Jurisdiction Watch scores that behavior — regulatory climate, permitting record, grid readiness, water availability, community response, incentives — and keeps the score current as conditions change. The result is a map of where development is welcome, where it is contested, and where the picture is still forming.
An analytical framework built from public records, direct primary-source verification, and structured inference. Every score carries a visible confidence level — nothing is presented as more certain than the evidence supports.
The composite read on how a jurisdiction leans toward large-scale development. It draws on every dimension of the evidence base — regulatory climate, permitting behavior, power and grid readiness, community response, and incentives — and resolves them into a single, comparable posture score.
The companion measure of how much verified information sits behind the posture score. It separates a confident, well-evidenced read from a provisional one — so you can tell the difference between 'favorable' and 'favorable, but thinly evidenced.'
The measure of facility and pipeline density — where development activity is already concentrated versus where it is only beginning to emerge. It puts posture in context: a favorable jurisdiction with no activity reads very differently from a favorable one that is already building. Published today at state and metro grain; county and local density is rolling out.
The measure of where a jurisdiction is headed. Built from fifty years of historical and forward-looking data — 2000 through 2050 — JTS quantifies the direction and velocity of a jurisdiction's posture, turning decades of regulatory, permitting, and market history into a proprietary, forward-looking trajectory.
Jurisdiction Watch scores every U.S. jurisdiction and 200 countries worldwide — and the dataset is alive, not archival. Scores update as jurisdictions act.
