Why we make this open

// 01

Methodology trust

Open methodology = trusted methodology. The NPPI quarterly index gains credibility precisely because anyone can audit how we get our numbers.

// 02

Academic compounding

Universities cite us in their papers. Their papers cite ours. Citation graph builds permanent academic legitimacy and SEO authority.

// 03

Industry standard

Same playbook as LevelTen for solar/wind. The methodology is open; the live deal data and analyst time are paid. Standard becomes default.

// 04

Talent pipeline

Free RNCA certification + thesis hosting + paid summer internships from our 10-school university partner network. Future hires already vetted.

// What's open vs. what's paid:
Open: methodology, library, headline NPPI numbers, top 8 deals, contract templates, weekly newsletter (free tier), university thesis hosting, stable citation permalinks.
Paid: live deal tracker (sub-72h disclosure), 17-deal full ledger with back-calculation workpapers, 5-year forward curves with scenario sensitivity, REST API + Excel/PowerBI packs, custom analyst hours, Strategic + Custom tier features. Anyone trying to recreate Reactor N needs all of these — it's the aggregation, freshness, and analyst layer that's the moat, not the methodology.

Submit your work

Faculty, graduate students (with advisor approval), industry analysts, and government / national-lab researchers welcome. Submission reviewed within 5 business days; a stable permalink is issued on acceptance (DOI minting planned once Crossref membership is granted). Open access, no fees.
