Development team spent 40 hours/week manually reviewing parcels in ArcGIS. Slow turnaround meant losing sites to competitors. ESRI licenses cost $75K/year for 3 analysts.
Deployed MCP agent with NREL API + PostGIS + Claude AI. Automated parcel screening workflow processes 1000 parcels in 10 minutes. Replaced ArcGIS with QGIS + open-source stack.
Missing competitor activity in ISO interconnection queues. By the time they learned about new projects, prime land near substations was already locked up.
Built Queue Monitor MCP agent that scrapes CAISO/ERCOT queues daily, performs spatial joins with target substations, sends Slack alerts for high-priority projects.
High overhead from ESRI licenses ($150K/year). Manual workflows couldn't scale. Losing bids to cheaper offshore competitors.
Environmental compliance manager drowning in permit documents. Each 200-page PDF took 4+ hours to review manually. Critical deadlines being missed.
Acquisition due diligence took 2-3 weeks per property. For portfolio acquisitions (100+ properties), timeline was prohibitive. Needed faster, cheaper screening.
Transmission line routing analysis extremely manual. GIS analysts spent months evaluating corridors, land use, environmental constraints. ESRI licensing costs for entire team: $500K/year.
