Why shadow mode first
Proof before exposure.
Vela earns trust on your own data before it ever touches a market. The same engine that powers live dispatch runs in read-only replay against the period you choose.
01 — REPLAY
Your real intervals
Vela ingests the same telemetry and prices your fleet actually saw, then re-solves each interval as if it had been in control — without sending a single command.
02 — ATTRIBUTE
Stream by stream
The delta is decomposed into energy arbitrage, demand response, ancillary, and capacity — so the uplift is explained, not asserted. New streams are flagged.
03 — DECIDE
Flip when ready
When the 7-, 30-, and 90-day numbers hold, going live is one switch. Nothing about your control stack or regulatory posture changes until you choose.
