⌗ FMEconomic intelligence platform
Every site starts as a Roadmap
ForgeMetrics is the economic intelligence tool that provides a roadmap to building out any bitcoin mining or HPC/AI site. The end result? Blueprint: a guided path from locate to operate that puts the right tool on every decision and ends in a memo you can hand a lender. Profitability, tax, financing, forecasting, and live power-market intelligence, computed from live on-chain data.
Every projection is computed from this live feed — never stale third-party data

⌗ 01How it works
Six phases, from a ZIP code to a running site
The Blueprint tracks its own completion from your real saved data and deep-links the exact tool each step needs. No false step completions.
Locate
Every site starts with a place and a market. A ZIP code identifies the grid including the ISO or RTO you’ll settle in, the utility that serves it, the regulators, and the tax defaults, so the model is grounded in the right jurisdiction from the first click.
HowA ZIP maps to your ISO/RTO zone, serving utility, and state tax posture; candidate sites rank on a power-first weighted rubric.
Power
Power Selection. Spec your power as grid, on-site gas, solar, or a hybrid, and the model derives an effective $/kWh you can actually build against — including the messy parts most spreadsheets skip.
HowSolar capacity factor resolved from PVWatts; gas sized N+1 with flare economics; grid priced on component rates — index, TOU, curtailment, demand.
Design
Fleet size selection is driven by the economics. Cooling overhead and effective load are modeled up front, and the land footprint is estimated against real container-pad and greenfield densities — so the plan is buildable, not notional.
HowPUE and effective site load, makeup-water use, thermal ride-through, and acreage calibrated to permitted sites (~10 MW/acre container-pad).
Finance
Structure the capital the way a lender reads it. Asset-linked debt tranches, funded reserves, and the real tax picture flow into WACC, NPV, IRR, and a debt-service coverage schedule that flags a covenant breach before a lender does.
HowMulti-tranche debt with a DSCR covenant flag (1.25× default); §48E/§45Y clean-electricity credits under their OBBBA phase-outs; MACRS / §179 / 100% bonus depreciation.
Deliver
Turn the model into a decision. A conservative Gate-1 read gives a go/no-go on the site’s economics, and when the required work is done the Blueprint hands off a bankable memo — the artifact you take to a lender or an investment committee.
HowA Gate-1 conservative go/no-go over the active scenario, recorded as a governance decision; the completed Blueprint generates the memo.
Operate
Once a site is online and operational, the biggest profit lever is deciding when to run full out or reserve. Backtest a curtailment strike against settled day-ahead prices, watch any zone in real time, and — at the Enterprise tier — let the platform push tomorrow’s run/curtail schedule to your controller.
HowStrike backtests on settled ISO day-ahead prices; live day-ahead and real-time feeds across six US markets.
⌗ 02The payoff
The document you hand a lender
A finished Blueprint generates a multi-section site memo built for an investment committee. All the data is pulled directly from the tool so all the numbers between report and model align. No copy and paste, re-typing, or re-creating.
An executive summary with the metrics that decide the deal, in-document charts, an assumptions register that traces every figure back to its input, the alternatives you considered, and the governance record of your gate decisions — as a paginated PDF with a cover and contents. One formalized document ready to hand to any investor with no screenshots or duplicated work.
Executive summary
Capital, equity, ROI, payback, break-even BTC — plus NPV and IRR, and a risk strip that fires only on real signals.
In-Document Charts
Capital stack, cash-flow waterfall, a forecast band, and a Monte-Carlo fan — rendered in the PDF, fed by the model’s projections.
Assumptions register
Every input behind the numbers, listed and compared to the standard defaults — so a reviewer sees exactly what you changed. Grouped by section, and always included.
Governance record
The stage-gate decisions on the site, so a reviewer sees what was signed off and when.

⌗ 04The full platform
What you can use today
Live and ready now: the ROI Calculator and Scenarios (free), plus Compare and multi-year Forecasting. The deeper platform — power-market intelligence and full site feasibility — is in active development. Every group below is tagged with where it stands today.
Profitability & ROI
Live nowThe full economic picture of a fleet — from first watt to payback.
Full-Fleet ROI & Cash Flow
Model an entire operation — miners, power, opex, labor, tax, and financing — through to payback, ROI, and after-tax cash flow.
The Metrics Operators Live By
Hashprice ($/PH/day, sat/TH), all-in cost to mine one BTC, profit per BTC, and the exact break-even BTC price for your site.
Fleet Lifecycle
Hardware efficiency degradation, ASIC salvage value, phased deployment ramp-up, and custom-firmware autotune economics — no more immortal, static fleets.
Finance & Tax
Live nowInstitutional-grade capital structure and the tax reality most models skip.
Institutional Finance
WACC, NPV, IRR, and discounted payback — plus asset-linked multi-tranche debt (LTV & collateral), funded reserves, and the interest tax shield.
Deep Tax Modeling
MACRS / §179 / 100% bonus depreciation, mined-BTC income recognition with LT/ST capital gains, multi-state and international (VAT/GST, corporate rates), and franchise taxes.
Country-of-Origin Import Duties
The real, most-scrutinized cost: Section-301 duty by country of manufacture — a China-origin rig and a Malaysia-assembled one clear customs very differently.
Forecasting & Scenarios
Live nowModel the futures, then save and compare them side by side.
Forecasting & Monte Carlo
Halving- and tax-aware bear / base / bull projections with power and hardware-aging escalation, plus a probability fan across thousands of simulations.
Scenarios, Compare & Share
Save scenarios to the cloud, run side-by-side what-if comparisons, export or import as JSON/CSV, and share a read-only link with anyone.
Power Market Intelligence
In developmentRun the strike — turn live ISO day-ahead prices into curtailment decisions: backtest a strike, then watch any zone in real time.
Strike Lab
Set a curtailment strike price and backtest it against real ISO day-ahead prices across the U.S. markets: uptime, curtailed hours, and managed vs 24/7 energy cost, month by month.
Power Watch
Any zone across the U.S. ISOs — the real-time price right now, tomorrow’s day-ahead hour by hour, and how prices behave over time, all in one view.
Operations preview — Enterprise
Price Alerts
Set a threshold per zone and get notified — in-app and by webhook — when the next day’s prices cross it, so you can plan curtailment before the day starts.
Rule Engine
Let the platform run the strike for you: each day it computes tomorrow’s hour-by-hour run/curtail schedule from your policy and pushes it to your controller by webhook.
Site Feasibility
In developmentSpec the power — grid, gas, or solar — and prove the site before you break ground.
Blueprint
A guided workflow that takes a site from locate → power → design → finance → operate. Each step deep-links to the right tool, tracks its own completion, and hands off to a site memo when the required work is done — so nothing gets skipped before ground breaks.
Gas-to-Power Feasibility
A dedicated tool for stranded and flare gas: supply-constrained feasibility, effective $/kWh, N+1 genset sizing, and flare / methane / carbon-credit revenue.
Cooling Design
Size cooling overhead (PUE) and effective site load, model makeup-water use and rights, check capacity and thermal ride-through, and value reject-heat reuse.
Solar Feasibility
Size an on-site solar array: resolve a location capacity factor from PVWatts, then see LCOE, land, and the effective $/kWh for a grid-hybrid, off-grid (with storage), or solar-gas buildout — ready to send into the calculator.
Power & Flexibility
Ancillary-services and demand-response revenue, behind-the-meter solar / wind / PPA, time-of-use, curtailment, and on-site self-generation.
Paid plans include beta access
Every paid subscription includes early beta access to new features as they roll out — power-market intelligence, full site feasibility, and the guided Blueprint land on your plan the moment each ships, at no extra cost. Subscribe now and help shape what launches next.
