The READ
BEFORE CAPITAL MOVES.
We read where an Energy & Resilience scale-up breaks — now, and under the load of its next cheque.
They ask: good company?
We ask: where does it
break when capital enters?
Because a good company can still break. Every diligence workstream can clear — and the break sits between two systems, where no owner is assigned.
In Energy & Resilience, too many scale-ups stall with the money already in. A scale-up is a system of systems on different clocks — and nobody reads it as one. That read is what we run.

We run the diagnostic.
ClimeNow is the Capital Load Diagnostic for Energy & Resilience scale-ups. Not a consultancy, not a report, not advisory — an independent diagnostic company.
Most portfolios have one: a company that still reports on plan and has stopped moving. Every workstream cleared at investment, and the board pack cannot tell you what capital should do next.
We read that. The read takes five working days and is run against a specific capital situation — a follow-on ahead, a bridge, a major rollout, or a position stalling under the capital it already carries. You get back a Capital State, the evidence it was computed from, and a Load Release Plan with an owner and a gate for every blocker. The decision stays with you.
The instrument is fixed — same inputs, same state, whoever runs them. An independent operator who has scaled in the segment reads the same items blind; the calibration is on the record, and the state stays computed. Clear a gate, re-run the read, and the state moves.

The instrument exists now.
Don't take the argument. Take the output.
Five demo companies, Series A to D — built so every diligence workstream clears on all five. The reads still differ: one deploys clean, one is a STOP where the cheque never left. The demo walks the actual reports — the Capital State, the evidence, the Load Release Plan.
NAME THE LOAD
The one you are least sure of: a follow-on, a bridge, your next round — or the position that stopped moving. Bring the hardest one.
Forty-five minutes, on output — a full read on a demo company. You decide whether your case deserves one. No data, no NDA, no fee.
Built for capital that bears the outcome — family offices, direct-investing LPs, corporate balance sheets. Either seat can commission: everyone inside the read sees the same result, nobody outside it sees anything.
