Know which data center sites to advance before you spend on them. DataShark scores power, land, water, fiber, and permitting on one consistent framework and turns the result into a decision-ready brief.
DataShark is the workflow Solmar Capital uses to underwrite its own development and brokerage pipeline. The model was built and refined against thousands of evaluations before it was opened to outside teams, so it reflects how diligence works in the field, not how a vendor imagines it.
Data center siting brings together power, land, water, fiber, permitting, and environmental factors from many sources. DataShark structures those inputs into a single intake, evaluates each against a consistent framework, and links every conclusion to its evidence. The output is one comparable readiness score per site, with the reasoning on record.
Eight categories of weighted criteria, screened first for fatal flaws, then scored and normalized to one readiness score. Every site runs through the same framework, scores compare on one scale across markets, and the evidence behind each score stays on record. Where evidence is thin, the model flags it rather than assuming, so a strong score always rests on confirmed inputs.
One path, five stages. The same framework on every opportunity, so a portfolio compares like for like.
Teasers, maps, utility notes, environmental and geotech reports, and worksheets come into one workflow, in whatever format they arrive.
Core project fields are standardized into a common structure, and any missing evidence is flagged up front.
Each site is assessed against the same criteria across eight categories, from power and land to water, environmental, and market access.
The model screens for fatal flaws, then weights and normalizes the result to a readiness score out of 100, with a clear call: advance, watch, or pass.
The site becomes an IC-ready scorecard, brief, and diligence checklist, with the supporting evidence attached.
One framework, different jobs. Final diligence and investment decisions stay with the people responsible for them.
Rank sites against a common standard and kill weak ones before they burn diligence budget.
Package power-backed positions in a format buyers and partners can underwrite quickly.
Screen more opportunities to the same bar without adding diligence headcount.
See how a site fits data center demand, power strategy, and transaction readiness.
Turn unstructured opportunities into clean, comparable packages and sharper mandate matches.
Coordinate power, land, equipment, and services around sites that have already cleared screening.
What DataShark does, who uses it, and how early access works.
DataShark screens energy and data center sites before you spend diligence budget on them. It takes the scattered inputs of early evaluation, decks, PDFs, maps, studies, and notes, and turns them into a structured intake, a weighted readiness score, pass or fail flags, and a decision-ready brief you can act on or hand to a partner.
Data center and energy developers, infrastructure investors, landowners, and brokerage teams. Anyone who has to decide which sites are worth pursuing and wants every opportunity measured against the same standard.
Utility-scale and large-load sites across solar, storage, and firm power, with data center site feasibility built in. The model scores each site across power, land, water, environmental, natural hazards, market access, customer fit, and community readiness.
Every site runs through the same weighted model and the same pass or fail gates, so results are comparable across sites and markets. A score of 84 means the same thing whether the site is in Texas or the Southeast. The output is a single readiness score backed by the category profile and the evidence behind it.
No. DataShark decides what is worth diligence, not what closes. It screens early, flags what still needs confirming, and packages the result. Final diligence and investment decisions stay with the people responsible for them.
Yes. The sites and project data you load stay confidential and secure. DataShark is built to help you evaluate opportunities, not to expose them.
