Platform workflow · Seven controlled gatesOne case.
One case.
No blind handoffs.
Foundation-1 turns a business energy question into a verified migration case, one clear gate at a time. Sensitive documents are requested only once they earn you a better decision.

The workflow / 01
Value at every gate.
Every customer action unlocks a more reliable decision. The formal process begins only after the earlier evidence and authorization gates are complete.
02
Normalize
6 utility bills supplied
When bills are requested, provide the 6 most recent utility bills together. The platform reconciles the full set, tariff structure, fixed charges, rebills and evidence gaps.
Output: Bill-audited evidence base
03
Migration Report
Evidence before commitment
The Foundation-1 Migration Report audits every charge and resolves the energy pathway as Eden, Awaken or both. Where Eden fits, Nightshade is assessed as its ownership-finance option.
Output: Foundation-1 Migration Report
04
Authorize
After the report, never before
The client reviews the report, then signs the non-binding Expression of Interest. That signature unlocks the formal proposals; it commits the client to nothing.
Output: Signed Expression of Interest
05
Proposals
Unlocked by the Expression of Interest
Formal zero-capex proposals arrive from the migration stack, priced for the site: the on-site structure, the wheeled supply, or the blend the report supports.
Output: Formal pathway proposals
06
Verification
Managed by Foundation-1
Foundation-1 requests and manages the required verification (KYC) through the secure case process, then coordinates authorized delivery where an approval requires it.
Output: Completed verification pack
07
Term sheet
Issued after verification
The funder issues the term sheet: the structure, the rate and the escalation in writing. Nothing is binding until the client signs it.
Output: Issued pathway term sheet
08
Migration
After the term sheet
Engineering, installation and energisation follow the term sheet, coordinated on the same case with zero capital outlay.
Output: Energised system
09
Savings from day one
From the first unit delivered
The lower rate applies from the first unit delivered. The case keeps verifying the saving against every bill that follows.
Output: Verified monthly savings
Energy pathways and finance / 02
What the decision resolves to.
The evidence resolves into Eden, Awaken or both. If Eden is approved, Nightshade can then be assessed as the asset-finance route for acquiring that infrastructure.
Pathway 01 · On-site
Eden
Solar and storage on your site. R0 to build: Foundation-1 funds, installs and owns the system, and you buy only the energy. Up to 35 percent off from day one.
Pathway 02 · Wheeled
Awaken
Cheaper power through the line you already have. Up to 58% off, nothing to install, subject to plant commissioning and the bill-audited case.
Eden asset finance
Nightshade
Own the system with one flat rate for ten years. No surprises, no escalation: up to 35 percent off current spend, flat for all 120 months, subject to credit and formal approval.
Control model / 03
Clear ownership at every gate.
Control 01
Progressive evidence
The first report asks for operating facts, not a bill. Documentary evidence is requested only when it produces a stronger decision asset.
Control 02
Complete bill set
Once utility evidence is introduced, the platform works from all 6 utility bills rather than selecting a convenient month.
Control 03
Foundation-1 managed KYC
Foundation-1 coordinates the KYC request, review and authorized delivery through the secure case process.
Control 04
Pathway-specific terms
After KYC, the bank issues Eden's term sheet directly. Foundation-1 issues and owns Awaken's wheeling PPA term sheet.
Critical data boundary / 04
Foundation-1 manages KYC.
Foundation-1 requests and manages required KYC through the secure case process, applies controlled access and coordinates authorized delivery to the bank where required. Do not send KYC documents through the general enquiry form or ordinary email.
