What we do, at every stage.
HampTex services span the full development lifecycle, from origination through energization and rack-readiness, each delivered under the firm's Master Services Agreement and scoped through a Statement of Work. They are engaged individually, sequentially, or in parallel. Three capabilities run across every stage: Program Management and Developer Risk Management on the developer's side, and Shield as an independent assessment on the capital and customer side.
Developer-side execution, organized by where it falls in a project's life. A client can engage a single service or a continuous program from first feasibility through the day the white space is ready for compute.
Origination & Feasibility
Is there a real project here, and does it pencil?
Development Prerequisites & Assistance
Securing the two prerequisites a project needs before development can responsibly begin, an anchor customer (a hyperscaler or comparable agreement) and site control, which HampTex provides the services to acquire rather than requiring the client to bring them. Also includes site selection criteria definition, decision authority confirmation, budget parameter establishment, and identification of licensed third parties. May be engaged standalone or as a precursor to another Workstream.
Financial Feasibility Analysis
The analysis that establishes whether a project's economics support development: revenue and utilization assumptions, cost-to-energization modeling, sensitivity to power cost and schedule, and the time-weighted return the project can realistically carry. Delivered for the customer's internal use as a decision input, not as an independent assessment for lender or investor reliance.
Power & Interconnection Advisory
Strategy for the single constraint that most often decides whether announced capacity energizes: interconnection queue position and the path to firm power. Includes queue-strategy development, utility and ISO/RTO engagement coordination, behind-the-meter and on-site generation strategy, and the framing of power offtake structures. Advisory and coordinative; HampTex does not perform regulated utility work or hold a power-marketing license.
Anchor-Customer Pursuit
The earliest phase of Business Development Advisory: identifying and qualifying the hyperscaler, neocloud, enterprise, or sovereign counterparty whose commitment makes a project financeable, and beginning the pursuit before site and capital are locked. Continues into Stage 2 as the commercial structure takes shape.
Securing the Project
Lock the land, the anchor, the capital, and the right to build.
Land Acquisition Services
Sourcing, evaluating, negotiating, and closing on real property for development: site sourcing, evaluation against project criteria, title and survey coordination, Phase I and II ESA coordination, agreement negotiation support, due diligence, and closing coordination. Site viability is evaluated on price per acre, price per megawatt, energy cost, and time to energization, not headline land prices alone.
Anchor-Customer & Commercial Structuring
Pursuit and structuring of anchor customer relationships and major commercial counterparty engagements: anchor tenant identification and qualification, commercial structure development, term sheet support, pursuit strategy across hyperscaler, neocloud, enterprise, and sovereign counterparties, and commercial intermediation. Does not include broker-dealer, securities brokerage, or registered investment advisory activities.
Capital & Financing Advisory
Advisory support for assembling the capital stack a project requires: capital structuring strategy, lender and equity readiness, data-room and diligence preparation, and translation of project economics into terms institutional capital can underwrite. Advisory only, short of securities brokerage or registered investment advice, the firm prepares a project to be financed and coordinates the licensed parties who place the capital.
Entitlement & Permitting Strategy
The strategy and sequencing behind a project's permits and entitlements, distinct from the stamped submittals themselves: jurisdictional analysis, authority-engagement strategy, permitting critical-path mapping, and coordination of the licensed engineers and counsel who prepare and file. HampTex develops and manages the strategy; it does not issue stamped or licensed permitting work product.
Community & Stakeholder Affairs
The discipline addressing the constraint that has become a leading cause of delay: local opposition. Includes stakeholder mapping, community engagement strategy, public-process preparation, and disclosure-and-phasing strategy that anticipates cumulative-impact concerns rather than triggering them. Directly answers the Force the firm identifies as an increasingly binding constraint on projects in markets that once welcomed the industry.
Build & Procurement
Order the long-lead equipment and manage what the build puts at risk.
Procurement Services
Procurement of long-lead equipment, balance-of-plant equipment, and related services: strategy development, market analysis and vendor identification, RFQ/RFP management, vendor evaluation, contract negotiation support, administration and change-order management, expediting, and vendor performance management. Agency authority is limited to what each SOW expressly authorizes.
Sustainability, Water & Grid-Impact Advisory
Advisory on the resource and grid-impact questions that increasingly gate approval and community acceptance: water sourcing and cooling-water strategy, grid-impact positioning, and the sustainability narrative a project carries into its permitting and stakeholder processes. Strategy and coordination; technical and regulatory filings are performed by licensed third parties.
Energization & Readiness
Get the facility accepted, powered, and ready for compute.
Commissioning & Operational-Readiness Advisory
Oversight of the path from constructed facility to accepted, operating infrastructure: commissioning planning, integrated systems testing oversight, acceptance-criteria definition, and operational-readiness review. Coordinative and advisory; the licensed commissioning agents and contractors perform the regulated work, while HampTex manages the program to a defensible rack-ready standard.
Rack-Ready Acceptance & Day-2 Transition
The bridge from rack-ready to running operation: acceptance verification against the standard the customer will rely on, operations-model and runbook setup, SLA and vendor-management structuring, and transition of the program to the operating team. Closes the gap a developer-side engagement otherwise leaves between "powered" and "operating."
Three capabilities are not confined to a single stage, they run the length of the project. Two are developer-side and require engagement with the developer. The third, Shield, is independent and serves the other side of the table.
Program Management
Owner's representative program management across the entire lifecycle: project controls (cost, schedule, risk, document control), master schedule, permitting and entitlement coordination of licensed third parties, contractor and vendor coordination, on-site or near-site execution oversight, commissioning, and QA/QC. Advisory and coordinative in nature; HampTex does not assume construction execution or perform work requiring licensure it does not hold. This is the execution spine that holds a program together from origination to rack-ready.
Developer Risk Management (DRM)
Operational, developer-side risk management delivered as milestone-gated playbooks scored by program management against objective criteria, applying the same Six Forces methodology and 81-milestone framework as Shield, but in an operational posture run for the developer. Operational, not analytical: it does not produce a Shield Assessment Report or Risk Profile Score as an independent verdict. See the DRM page →
Shield — Six Forces Assessment
The firm's independent analytical product, applying the Six Forces Framework and tracking milestones across all four stages for the capital providers and hyperscalers deciding whether to fund or anchor a project. The principal deliverable is the Shield Assessment Report and a Risk Profile Score. Performed under the Independent Assessor posture: HampTex receives assessment fees only and holds no operational, developer-side, equity, or contingent interest in the project under assessment. See the Shield page →
Specialized Analytical Services any stage
Targeted analysis for the customer's internal use on questions outside the scope of a full Six Forces Assessment, delivered through SOW-specified variants including Technology and Obsolescence Analysis and Financial Feasibility Analysis. Work product is for the customer's internal use, not for reliance by lenders, investors, or capital partners. Advisory, not an independent assessment, and available at any point in the lifecycle.
HampTex provides advisory, coordination, and management services. The firm does not perform licensed work, including general contracting, stamped or sealed engineering and architecture, electrical or mechanical contracting, legal opinions, and securities brokerage or registered investment advice. Where such work is required, HampTex identifies, coordinates, and manages qualified, licensed third parties. Agency and signing authority in every engagement is limited to what the governing Statement of Work expressly grants.
