The AI Capacity Layer for Data Centers

Simulate 3,000 configurations. Find the free megawatt.

Headroom runs thousands of physics simulations across your facility, surfaces the megawatts stranded behind conservative safety margins, and proves every one is safe to sell under N+1.

Built for the operators running the world's compute. From colocation to hyperscale.

The Platform

Meet Headroom

01

One verified layer, from the blueprint to the live hall

Headroom builds a live digital twin of your facility, reads how it actually behaves, and proves exactly how much power sits stranded behind safety margins — verified against worst-case failure. It finds the megawatts you already built, surfaces the cooling you're wasting, and hands your operators decisions, not dashboards.

Headroom

Digital twin synced for Hall C. 12.4 MW built · 8.9 MW contracted. Behavioral read complete — 1.7 MW sits stranded behind static safety margins, verified recoverable under N+1.

RACK UTILISATION — HALL C 72% AVG

The Engine

Thousands of simulations. One verified answer.

Headroom searches the full space of how a facility can run — then proves what's safe. Physics at machine scale, on the research frontier, applied to your halls.

01.

Search at scale.

Headroom generates and simulates thousands of configurations — every power topology, cooling design, and rack placement — searches the entire design space, then ranks by PUE, capex, and safely-placeable capacity.

02.

Physics in parallel.

High-fidelity CFD and power-flow simulations run hundreds at a time on GPU compute — exploring in an afternoon what conventional methods take a year to cover.

03.

Built on the research frontier.

Our methods sit in the lineage of the field's cutting edge — RL control proven when DeepMind cut data-center cooling energy by 40%, generative world-model simulation (NVIDIA Omniverse, Cosmos), and 2026 research recovering ~10% stranded power in 100 MW-class clusters.

04.

Continuous, not point-in-time.

A live digital twin re-optimizes every cycle as load shifts across the floor — always current, never a stale snapshot.

05.

Verified at machine scale.

Every recommendation is stress-tested against N+1 / 2N failure across thousands of scenarios before it reaches you — so capacity is reclaimed while 99.995% uptime stays fully intact.

06.

Compounding.

Every facility Headroom optimizes sharpens the models for the next — across the whole estate.

Superhuman search, superhuman physics, machine-speed verification — running continuously, as one layer.

Results

Recoverable Capacity

On a typical hall, roughly a tenth of built capacity sits stranded — powered, cooled, and unsold. Headroom finds the share that's safely sellable, where manual audits surface only a fraction.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Sell the capacity you've already built.

Operators leave power stranded, cool harder than physics requires, and over-build every site — all for safety. Headroom replaces the guesswork with one verified layer, from blueprint to live hall.

HEADROOM DESIGN

Build it right before you build it.

Simulate the facility before the concrete is poured. Right-size power and cooling, cut overbuild, and lock in a better PUE for the life of the building.
