How we build this index

The Inertia Labs Retrofit Risk Index is a quarterly composite assessment of the market conditions that most directly affect datacenter retrofit program outcomes. It is not a proprietary data product. It is our professional judgment, applied to publicly available market data from government and industry sources.

Each quarter, we review the signals below, score them individually, and synthesize a composite index level reflecting the overall conditions a program starting today would face. The interpretation is ours. The data is public.

These conditions affect your program directly.

If you're planning or running a retrofit program right now, the signals above should be in your risk log. The free checklist helps you assess where your specific program stands.
