Underwriting Intelligence, Not Dealflow
Forward-looking market intelligence for infrastructure investment decisions across African markets
What You Get
Aggregated, anonymized intelligence for capital allocation and underwriting decisions
Capacity Pipeline Visibility
Track infrastructure development across African markets
- MW under construction by market and operator type
- Planned capacity expansion timelines (12-24 month view)
- Build-out velocity and market absorption rates
- Infrastructure type breakdown (DC, tower, fiber, power)
Demand Recurrence Patterns
Understand where and why infrastructure demand is forming
- Regional expansion signals (which markets are seeing repeat demand)
- Workload type trends (hyperscale, AI/ML, enterprise, edge)
- Deployment footprint patterns (metro vs. edge vs. hybrid)
- Buyer organization type concentration (by sector and scale)
Power Availability Indicators
Critical constraint visibility for AI-scale infrastructure
- Grid constraint mapping (where power limits deployment)
- Renewable energy access by market (solar, wind, hydro availability)
- Genset dependency rates (markets relying on backup power)
- Power-contingent deployment tracking (deals waiting on energy)
Time-to-Build Indicators
Deployment velocity and regulatory friction signals
- Regulatory approval cycle benchmarks (permitting timelines by market)
- Construction velocity trends (months from break-ground to commercial)
- Planning-to-deployment lag (from demand signal to capacity live)
- Regulatory fast-track availability (markets with expedited processes)
Example Intelligence Output
"Q4 2024: 18MW of hyperscale demand observed across West Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal). 65% AI/ML workloads, 35% enterprise cloud. Avg. timeline: 12-18 months. Power constraint: 40% contingent on grid upgrades. Regulatory fast-track: Available in Lagos, Accra (6-9 month approvals)."
Note: No buyer names, no operator-specific data, no deal terms. Aggregated, anonymized intelligence only.
What You Don't Get (Boundaries)
Clear exclusions to protect neutrality and participant confidentiality
No Deal Flow
No buyer introductions, no operator connections, no transaction facilitation
No Buyer Identities
No access to company names, strategic plans, or deployment specifics
No Operator-Specific Data
No performance metrics, no win/loss data, no pricing information
Our Guarantee: Investor access does not influence demand routing, shortlist construction, or operator presentation. Intelligence is aggregated and anonymized to preserve confidentiality for all participants.
How Investors Use the Intelligence Dashboard
Investment-grade signal for underwriting, timing, and positioning decisions
Identify Under-Supplied Markets
Use Case: Find markets where demand is forming before capital crowds in
Dashboard View:
- • Demand Signals show regional inquiry volume and signal strength
- • Market Readiness scores reveal power constraints and timing gaps
- • Regional Analysis highlights under-supplied Tier 2 markets
Result: Enter markets 6-18 months before capacity announcements
Validate Operator Claims
Use Case: Cross-check operator demand projections against real signals
Dashboard View:
- • Signals by Market show actual demand formation patterns
- • Workload Classification validates AI/hyperscale claims
- • Deployment Timelines confirm realistic absorption rates
Result: De-risk underwriting with independent demand validation
Track Power & Regulatory Risk
Use Case: Monitor power constraints and regulatory bottlenecks across portfolio
Dashboard View:
- • Power Readiness indicators show grid capacity by market
- • Constraint Analysis flags power-gated deployment risk
- • Regulatory Timelines track approval cycles and policy changes
Result: Avoid deployment-blocked markets and time entry correctly
Time Entry into Tier 2 Markets
Use Case: Identify demand inflection points before broader market awareness
Dashboard View:
- • Signal Velocity shows accelerating inquiry patterns
- • Regional Comparison highlights emerging vs. saturated markets
- • Forward Indicators predict demand formation 12-18 months out
Result: Pre-position capital ahead of Tier 2 market inflection
Investment-Grade Signal Language
We speak in terms capital providers understand: underwriting intelligence, pre-commitment demand signals, and deployment risk indicators—not research reports or deal flow

Investment Use Cases
Underwriting New Infrastructure
Validate demand assumptions for new DC, tower, or fiber builds. Understand where hyperscale and AI/ML workloads are forming before committing capital.
Portfolio Monitoring
Track capacity utilization trends, demand patterns, and competitive movements across your existing infrastructure investments in African markets.
Market Entry Timing
Identify when demand formation reaches critical mass in new markets. Avoid entering too early (no demand) or too late (oversupplied).
