    Outage Maps

    Operational data becomes a map people can use.

    Outage Maps makes power-outage information spatial and accessible. Visitors can search U.S. addresses and explore mapped outage information, while the application provides ingestion, API and staff-management paths behind the public map.

    01 / PRODUCT

    A geographic interface to changing conditions

    Address search and map presentation help visitors locate relevant outage information. Data source freshness matters, so the product should not be described as an unconditional real-time guarantee.

    02 / ENGINEERING

    Ingestion is the infrastructure

    The source contains pull and ingestion logic, public API routes and operational data handling. Some fixtures and mock data are also present and should not be mistaken for verified live utility feeds.

    03 / ENGINEERING

    Machine-facing access and administration

    An MCP route provides an integration surface in the source. Staff tools include utilities and users, separating operational management from the public map experience.

    04 / ENGINEERING

    AI-built does not mean AI-generated data

    AI-SDLC supports the application’s engineering. Its central technical achievement is turning structured utility data into a usable geographic product, not inventing an AI model that predicts every outage.

    DELIVERY / AI-SDLC

    How the work comes together.

    Built through AI-SDLC: AI-assisted implementation paired with human architecture, review and iterative delivery. Across the studio, engagements range from days to a week or a month; no unverified duration is assigned to this project.
