The regulatory platform for the data centre industry
Clearing the gates to growth
Across the data centre lifecycle, from site selection to operation.
The data centre industry is subject to intensifying scrutiny. Governments, councils, grid operators and clients demand transparency of impact, and set obligations to build and operate data centres responsibly. Clear Decisions helps operators know the requirements, build evidence of compliance and improve towards their targets. We integrate complex regulatory-critical data into controlled workflows, and deliver the evidence that turns scrutiny into trust.
Three questions developers and operators ask
What will planning and the grid operator require before we can build here?
Will our customers, investors and auditors accept the evidence we have today?
Which regulations are coming that could stall the next site?
Who sets the gates
Cities, councils and grid operators: what stands between you and consent
Governments and regulators: what you must do to operate
Customers: what you must prove before they sign
Investors: how the risk is governed
Why Clear Decisions
Built for data centres, not for compliance in general. The standards this industry is held to, how the rules are read in each market, and how carbon, energy and efficiency trade off inside a live facility.
Sits alongside the systems that run your plant. What applies, what is evidenced, what is coming: the layer your DCIM and BMS were never built to hold.
Obligations keep moving. What you must prove changes with each transposition, consultation and contract, and keeping up is a standing job.
A report is current on the day it lands. A platform is current when the question is asked.
One record of a site, used at three points in its life.
Know the rules where you build and operate.
The regulatory obligations to build and operate a data centre, city by city, with the levers and what is changing across planning, permitting, grid and law.
Govern the compliance you run.
Policies, controls, evidence, internal audits and training in one place, across your sites and teams, from ISO 9001 and 27001 to NIS2 and DORA.
Report the carbon you can prove.
Energy and carbon figures to the standards the industry is held to, with the evidence behind each one, shareable with your customer and your auditor.
Evidence mapped once is reused: a new site or a new standard starts from what you already hold.
Kai explains what the rules say.
Our standards references and the regulation tracker are free and open, reviewed by a named lawyer, and sourced to the instrument. The law is the same for every operator, so there is no reason to charge for it.
Read the standards reference →Kai explains what they mean for your site.
Which of your controls is failing and why. How a tenant’s carbon number was derived. What changed in a market you are building in. That analysis runs against your own evidence, and it is what you are paying for.

Kai interprets. People verify.
Kai explains what a regulation means and proposes the fix. Your team decides. The evidence behind every finding carries a source and a date, because a compliance record that reads as machine-generated is worth nothing in an audit.
