Two briefs a day
The morning brief at 06:00 CT plans 07:00 to 07:00. The mid-day brief at 13:45 CT re-forecasts and re-plans from 15:00 on the next day's day-ahead prices, and lists every block it kept, moved or withdrew.
For ERCOT battery storage · Energy arbitrage · Advisory strategy
Know which hours matter, before they happen.
You receive a dispatch plan each morning, re-planned at mid-day on the next day's prices. Each plan says which hours to charge and which to sell, and tracks the spikes. We do the heavy analysis and forecasts, and tailor the plan to your specific BESS. You keep the keys, and you set the record.
Your plan, twice a day
The morning brief at 06:00 CT and the mid-day re-plan at 13:45 CT. Each brief arrives before its plan begins, usually an hour or more ahead.
Your weekly and quarterly reports
Each report is issued once its period has fully settled. It is Recorded against Baseline, beside what the plan was worth. The Quarterly Report carries the quarter's fee. Each report is final on issue.
The live dashboard, every ten minutes
The dashboard shows the plan in force right now (the morning plan until 15:00, the mid-day plan after), with the market drawn against it.
Your Baseline, fixed before service starts
Your Baseline is what your battery earns running as it already does, from its own settled history, fixed on the order form. Every Gain is measured from it.
A sealed protocol, and a published loss
Graded the next day on settled prices, with the misses counted
We never trade and never touch your controls
Who this is for
Merchant battery storage in ERCOT, earning on the spread.
If you own or run a BESS in ERCOT and your revenue depends on when you charge and when you discharge, you are the whole of our audience. Everything here is built around that one decision.
Ancillary services carried this fleet for years. They are getting crowded, the clearing prices show it, and the money is moving back toward the spread. That is the market this service was built for, and more of the fleet walks into it every quarter.
- You dispatch it yourself. No trading desk, or a small one, and the call still lands on your team.
- Arbitrage is where your money comes from. Charging cheap and discharging into the expensive hours is the business, not a sideline.
- Your hub and your hardware, not a class average. The plan is priced at your trading hub, the one on your order form, and built for your power and energy rating and the duration you actually run.
- If ancillary services pay most of your bills, we are probably not for you yet. A better price forecast will not move your revenue much, and we would rather say so than sell you something. That is worth revisiting as AS gets more crowded.
- If your battery carries ancillary service some of the time, those hours are paused. No fee is taken on them, no Baseline credit is given, and everything else is measured on the capacity you traded.
What PHAROS is
02
A spike watch
We send no alerts. The briefs and the live dashboard carry the spike forecast, and the plan schedules around it. Spikes the plan caught and spikes it missed are counted side by side in the graded record.
03
Advisory, permanently
We read public market data and tell you what we see. We do not trade, and we are not wired into anything you own.
The deal
Start on your own asset
Performance-based, and only on results.
We make money when you do. The fee is a share of the Gain over your own Baseline, worked out on settled prices at your trading hub, the hub named on your order form. Hours your battery is set to ancillary service are paused: no fee on them, and no Baseline credit.
There is no retainer and no minimum, and no month you cannot leave. An initiation advance at signing is credited against the fees as they come due, and nothing is owed when there is no Gain. The full terms are part of every walkthrough.
The record
We published the evaluation we lost.
You can re-run a backtest until it flatters you. So we locked the protocol, fingerprinted it before we looked at the data, and ran it once. We lost. That result sits at the top of the Trust page, where it belongs. What survived it is what we sell.
How the record is kept
- Written down before the hours it plans. Every issue, morning and mid-day, is archived and fingerprinted when it is issued, before the first hour it plans.
- Graded the next day on settled prices. ERCOT's own settlement, not our replay of it, and not a window we picked afterwards.
- The misses are counted with the hits. Both failure modes: the spikes we do not call, and the spikes forecast on a day that stayed quiet.
- The thresholds were frozen before the record started. Every cutoff was frozen before the record it grades began: the first in the sealed evaluation, and each later forecast's in its own sealed protocol before its first issue. None is re-tuned as the days accrue.
- Every amendment is dated and logged. The protocol can be changed in the open. It cannot be changed quietly. The pre-registration's amendment ledger is on the Trust page, and each later sealed protocol keeps its own.
That is the method the live record is kept by, and the method is what decides whether a record means anything. We open the record itself on a live screen when we meet.

The offer
The photograph comes before the plan.
Before anything starts we photograph your baseline: how your asset was already running, taken from your own history rather than our opinion of it. Everything after that is measured against the photograph, on settled prices.
- The free read comes first. From ERCOT's public record we measure what the battery earned against what the same battery could have earned on the same days. Free, and no call is required.
- Everything is scored on settled prices. Each week is measured against the Baseline once every day of it has settled, and the report is final on issue.
- No lock-in. Cancel any month. That is also how you test whether we are worth keeping.
- Nothing plugs into client systems. No hookup, no hardware, no network access.
Rates and terms are set in writing before any engagement begins. Nothing on this page is an offer to transact.
