For utilities and program partners
The trusted navigator in front of your programs
WattGap puts your programs in front of every eligible household through a channel they actually trust. You pay only on enrollments your own system confirms, and the total is capped.

Programs we certified in Holy Cross territory versus what the largest public aggregator lists. Missing data is why most members never find your programs.
You pay only on the members your own system confirms enrolled. Capped for budget certainty. Priced under your cost of saved energy.
Structurally unconflicted: under a sponsored pilot, participating members would pay nothing; no placement is for sale; WattGap does not control member benefit funds. That is what lets you put it in front of members.
Complete-first, so we never over-promise: Holy Cross Energy is certified to our full accuracy bar today. Your territory is certified before your pilot goes live, with a Territory Accuracy Audit you fact-check first.
Why it is safe
Why you can put WattGap in front of your members
Your member relationship is the asset. WattGap can extend it because its structure removes every incentive to mis-serve your members. These commitments are permanent, not policies that bend under commercial pressure.
Under a sponsored pilot, participating members would pay nothing.
The sponsoring institution would cover the pilot experience. Any optional household service outside a sponsored pilot would require separate, clearly disclosed terms.
No selling member data.
Member personal data is never sold, never used as inventory, never shared without explicit consent.
No paid placement in the diagnostic.
No party can buy a recommendation, a score, or a ranking. The diagnostic is never for sale.
WattGap does not control member benefit funds.
Under a sponsored pilot, rebates and other program benefits go directly to the member; WattGap does not receive, hold, forward, or split those proceeds. The member remains the applicant.
No automatic third-party submission.
The member authorizes every action. Nothing happens automatically behind a checkout.
The problem, in your territory
Your programs work. Most households never find them.
Demand-side budgets go unspent because members do not know the programs exist or cannot navigate the applications. The gap is between qualified-and-interested and actually-enrolled.
WattGap sits in front of your programs, never in place of them.
It is the trusted navigator that routes members to your own rebates, rate-plan fit, demand response, weatherization, and assistance. It is never the administrator, never the deployment vendor, and never the holder of the money.
You pay only on the members who actually enroll.
Not clicks, not leads, not estimates. An enrollment your own system records, that you confirm in a monthly reconciliation. Priced under your existing cost of saved energy.
See what a member in your territory sees
This is not a mockup. It calls the same certified engine your members would use. Enter a ZIP from your service territory and see the real dollar gap, the real programs, and the real score.
What a pilot delivers
The same dashboard a partner sees during a pilot, shown here with illustrative data. Every figure is a count or a sum; no household is ever identified.
Verified enrollments
Counted only when your own system records the enrollment for a member WattGap referred, and you confirm it in the monthly reconciliation. Never a click, a form-fill, or a lead.
Recurring active homes
Homes enrolled and still active each month, for the recurring grid-services side of a pilot.
Outcome billing draft (2026-06)
You see the draft before any invoice. Outcome fees are capped, so the total is bounded no matter how well the pilot performs.
| Class | Verified | Per enrollment | Subtotal |
|---|---|---|---|
| light | 84 | $30 | $2,520 |
| deep | 12 | $150 | $1,800 |
| Outcome subtotal | $4,320 | ||
| Outcome-fee cap | $21,500 | ||
| Billed this period (after cap) | $4,320 | ||
Calculate your pilot ROI
Plug in your meter count and see what a 90-day pilot would cost, how many verified enrollments to expect, and how it compares to a traditional program implementer.
The $4,900 Territory Accuracy Audit fee credits 100% against the pilot fee if you proceed within 90 days. So the audit is free if you continue.
How verification works
Your records are the source of truth
An enrollment counts only when it appears in your own system for a member WattGap referred. WattGap bills only the count you verify.
One-way attribution, no member data to you
Verification never requires you to tell WattGap which member enrolled, or WattGap to tell you which diagnostic user it was. Staff receive aggregate-only reporting.
The draft comes before the invoice
You review the outcome billing draft for each period before anything is billed, and outcome fees are capped, so the total is bounded.
What if the data is wrong?
Your board will ask. Here is the answer, in plain language.
Every dollar is certified against two primary sources
A B5 certification engine verifies each program amount against the administering entity's own published data. No single aggregator. No guesses.
If we cannot verify it, we quarantine it
Programs that cannot be certified are shown as pending, not as fact. The member sees honest unknowns, not fabricated numbers.
You can fact-check any number before you commit
The Territory Accuracy Audit lets you compare WattGap's data against your own territory records before you sign anything. If something is wrong, you find it before your members do.
Every fact has provenance
Source URL, last-verified date, and confidence level are visible on every figure. The machinery is the show, not something hidden behind a slick UI.
The data gap, in numbers
We certified Holy Cross Energy territory to B5 standard. Here is what we found versus what the largest public aggregators have.

How WattGap compares
You are comparing WattGap to a traditional program implementer. Here is the side-by-side.
| Capability | Traditional (CLEAResult, ICF) | WattGap |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment time | 6-18 months | Days to weeks |
| Cost model | $500K-$5M+ annual contract | Pay only on verified outcomes |
| Geographic coverage | Territory-specific build | Any US ZIP; certified region by region |
| Data accuracy | 1-2 sources per program | B5-certified: every fact verified against two primary sources |
| Member experience | Form-heavy, program-specific | Enter ZIP, see everything, under 5 seconds |
| Trust posture | Conflicted vendor | Structurally unconflicted advocate |
| Risk to you | Large upfront commitment | Capped, exit in 30 days, audit credits forward |
| Member cost | May charge the household | No household charge under a sponsored pilot |
How you pay
- Pay on verified outcomes. A per-enrollment fee for each light enrollment (demand response, rate-plan switch, simple rebate) and each deep enrollment (heat pump, weatherization, whole-home) that you confirm.
- Capped, for budget certainty. Outcome fees are capped at the fixed pilot fee, so your maximum total is known up front.
- Priced under your cost of saved energy. The same deployment result, cheaper, through a trusted channel you cannot build internally.
- The audit credits forward. A Territory Accuracy Audit lets you fact-check WattGap's data against your own territory first; its fee credits against the pilot if you continue.
What is the risk?
The risk of trying is designed to be near-zero. Here is how.
The audit is free if you proceed
100% of the $4,900 audit fee credits against the pilot fee if you continue within 90 days.
The pilot fee is capped
Total pilot cost is bounded at 2x the fixed fee. You will never get an open-ended bill.
You pay only on verified outcomes
No clicks, no leads, no traffic. Only enrollments your own system confirms.
You can exit in 30 days
Either party may end the pilot at 30 days notice. Fees are prorated. No exclusivity.
Under a sponsored pilot, participating members would pay nothing
The sponsoring institution would cover the pilot experience. There is no household checkout or paywall in the sponsored pilot.
You keep the audit regardless
Even if you do not proceed to a pilot, the Territory Accuracy Audit is yours to keep.
Why be first?
WattGap has no pilot customers yet. We say that plainly. Being first carries real risk, so the founding-partner package exists to reward it: the first co-op or muni to sign a pay-on-outcome pilot gets terms no partner after them ever will.
- Territory Accuracy Audit fee credits 100% against the pilot if you proceed.
- Case study co-authored with your team -- you shape the narrative, not just provide the quote.
- Pricing locked at the founding rate for the first renewal cycle.
- Direct relationship with WattGap's founder, not a sales rep or account manager.
- Input on the product roadmap: the features your members need get built first.
- Founding-partner status in all public references and materials (with your approval).

What happens after the pilot
The pilot is the proof. What follows is the partnership.
Recurring navigator license
The pilot auto-converts to a monthly license priced by meter count. You keep the same trusted navigator, the same certified data, and the same pay-on-outcome alignment.
Territory expansion
As WattGap certifies more utilities in your region, your members see a richer picture. The co-op next door becomes part of the same certified network.
Co-branded member portal
Your members access WattGap through a link from your site, your bill insert, or your email. You get engagement credit and DSM deployment numbers for regulatory reporting.
Outcome data compounding
Every verified enrollment makes the next one more targeted. The living energy profile learns which members are ready to act and which programs they need.
The path from first conversation to members enrolled
Territory Accuracy Audit
10 business days
We certify every program WattGap would show your members against your own primary sources. You fact-check the results. The audit fee credits forward if you proceed.
Pilot launch
Days, not months
WattGap goes live for your territory. Members access the diagnostic through a link from your site, bill insert, or email. No software install, no integration project.
90-day pilot
3 months
Members run the diagnostic, see their dollar gap, and route to your programs. You see verified enrollments accrue in your own system. Monthly reconciliation with aggregate-only reporting.
Renewal decision
Day 90
Pre-agreed success bar: did you hit the enrollment target with zero material data inaccuracies? If yes, the pilot auto-converts to a recurring navigator license. If not, you exit and keep the audit.
What happens when something goes wrong
The honest answer is that sometimes something will. Here is what happens next, in writing.
A data error is found mid-pilot
WattGap re-verifies the affected program within 5 business days. You are not billed for any enrollment traced to the error. The corrected data is published with updated provenance before billing resumes.
A member has a complaint
Your co-op owns the member relationship. WattGap operates behind your brand, not in front of it. You route any complaint through your own process. WattGap provides data support, never member-facing dispute resolution.
A program changes mid-pilot
When a program updates its rules, amounts, or status, WattGap re-certifies it within 5 business days. Members see the updated information. You are never billed for an enrollment based on stale data.
WattGap itself has an outage
The diagnostic degrades gracefully. Members see cached certified data with a freshness timestamp. No enrollment is lost because the tool was down. The pilot clock pauses for any outage over 4 hours.
Board-ready summary
Copy this into your board memo. Every number is sourced. Every claim is defensible.
WattGap is a trusted energy advocate that routes your members to your own programs. You pay only on verified enrollments your own system confirms. The 90-day pilot is capped at $43,000 maximum (2x the $21,500 fixed fee), with $30 per light enrollment and $150 per deep enrollment. The $4,900 Territory Accuracy Audit credits 100% if you proceed. You can exit at 30 days. Under a sponsored pilot, participating members would pay nothing. No member data is sold. The diagnostic is never influenced by any payer.
Where every number comes from
A trust product cannot sell itself on unsourced numbers. Here is the provenance for every claim on this page.
WattGap: $21,500 fixed fee + $30/light + $150/deep, at 25,000 meters with 2% enrollment rate produces ~338 enrollments = ~$107/enrollment. Traditional: ACEEE national reviews place utility cost of saved energy at ~2.4-2.5 cents/kWh average; a typical light enrollment (DR/rate-plan) costs $350+ per household acquired including admin and marketing overhead.
Term sheet: $21,500 fixed fee + outcome fees capped at $21,500 = $43,000 maximum total.
SCE $75 sign-up bonus, Consumers Energy $100, Mass Save $25 + $20/yr. These are household-facing incentives alone, before any program-admin or marketing cost.
