Know where you're exposed.Before your stakeholders do.
HPRI is the decision-support platform for hydrogen project teams who need to identify gaps, defend their safety basis, and hit gates on time.
Hydrogen projects fail the same ways
Whether it's commercial gaps discovered too late, a safety basis that doesn't survive scrutiny, or operational readiness that was assumed rather than demonstrated—the patterns repeat.
Commercial gaps at financial close
Bankability questions surface too late to address without schedule impact
Safety basis fails AHJ scrutiny
Hazard analysis and dispersion modeling assumptions contested in review
Integration problems between packages
Skids and site-wide ESD don't interoperate during commissioning
Operational readiness assumed
Procedures, competency, and maintenance planning deferred until too late
A structured path from concept to commissioning
HPRI evaluates readiness through three integrated pillars — domain assessment, schedule tracking, and operational readiness — producing a composite score that adapts to your project phase.
Readiness Assessment
10 domains with dual-scale scoring (Maturity + Evidence), phase-weighted to your project stage
Gate Tracking
66 gates across 7 categories with risk-weighted scheduling
Evidence Management
Link documents to assessment responses, gate milestones, and operational programs for audit-ready traceability
Project Customization
26 system configurations, phase-filtered views, and project-level settings to match your facility
Operational Readiness
104 programs across 12 categories tracking policies, procedures, and safety management from FEL-3 through steady-state operations
Action Generation
Automated action items from three sources: domain gaps, schedule risk, and operational readiness shortfalls
Team Collaboration
Three-tier roles (admin, contributor, viewer), owner assignment, assumption tracking, and evidence sharing across your project team
HPRI x Intelligence
Seven specialist agents analyze your assessment data in parallel—market positioning, engineering design, safety basis, regulatory strategy, schedule risk, system integration, and operational readiness—then a synthesizer produces a unified intelligence report with prioritized actions.
No other hydrogen readiness platform offers automated multi-domain analysis at this depth. What would take a consulting team weeks is generated in minutes.
9-section intelligence report
Cross-domain synthesis with critical findings and priority actions
Regional market conditions, incentives, offtake analysis, and competitive positioning
Technology maturity, FOAK risks, and design basis evaluation
ESD integration, control system boundaries, and package-to-site interfaces
Hazard analysis, dispersion modeling, and detection philosophy
Code applicability, AHJ engagement, and regulatory strategy
Gate milestone risk, critical path analysis, and timeline feasibility
Program completion, critical path gaps, and commissioning blockers
Prioritized actions synthesized across all analysis domains
10 domains. One integrated view.
Each domain captures a critical dimension of hydrogen project readiness—from business case through steady-state operations.
Project Intent, Scope, and Business Case
Stakeholders, Offtake, and Commercial Readiness
Site, Power, and Infrastructure Readiness
Technology Selection and Technical Maturity
Risk, Safety Basis, and Regulatory Readiness
Dispersion, Venting, Detection, and Mitigation Design
Controls, SIS, ESD, and System Integration
Operability, Maintainability, and Human Factors
Construction, Commissioning, and Startup Readiness
Operations, Reliability, and Lifecycle Sustainability
See where you're exposed
HPRI's assessment questions surface gaps in these critical areas—before they become surprises.
Weak offtake and bankability risk
Buyers and lenders perceive high execution and safety risk
D2: Stakeholders, Offtake & Commercial Readiness
Assessment surfaces gaps in operational readiness, maintenance philosophy, and emergency response that undermine bankability.
Power supply and grid constraints
Projects scoped before power supply constraints are knowable
D3: Site, Power & Infrastructure
Questions probe power procurement strategy, grid connection status, and backup power philosophy before assumptions harden.
Policy and permitting delays
Agencies need credible safety cases and traceable compliance
D5: Risk, Safety Basis & Regulatory Readiness
Assessment evaluates regulatory strategy, AHJ engagement, and code applicability—flagging gaps before they cause delays.
Safety basis fails scrutiny
Hazard analysis and dispersion assumptions contested in review
D5 & D6: Safety & Dispersion
Questions assess hazard analysis completeness, dispersion modeling approach, and detection philosophy maturity.
