Facility population is not the sponsor pipeline

Convergent / NY Green Bank illustrates why project populations must stay separate. NY Green Bank publicly reports 16 initial financed VDER projects. Convergent separately reports an 11-system NYC pipeline and names five sites. Reviewed public sources bind zero named projects to the 16-project facility population.

Fail-closed rule

BLOCK_FACILITY_POPULATION_UNRESOLVED until the facility counterparty, authoritative financed-project register, point-in-time population and explicit project membership binding are known.

What public research can do

Preload candidate sites, public legal entities, generic utility process rules and facility counts. These reduce discovery ambiguity but contribute zero buyer value by default.

What it cannot do

It cannot infer facility membership, borrowing-base eligibility, advance rates, actual payment state, legal conclusions or financing treatment.

No New York production adapter is built and no pilot price is established.
