Public-record retrospectives

What the queue record actually shows.

Points of interconnection and market-wide queue vintages, read straight from the public interconnection queue dataset: every request filed, what was built, what withdrew, and how long each took. Anyone can check these against the source.

These are retrospectives on public data — not customer case studies. No engagement, customer or client is involved in any of them, and nothing here claims GridVision predicted or changed an outcome.
