🛣️ Quote Process for Energy (transparent, utility-class)

1. Scope & Intake (Day 0–3) — generation & T&D footprint, OT/IT boundaries, protocols & vendors, regulatory scope, priority corridors/plants.
2. Discovery & Supplier Graph (Day 3–10) — carrier fiber & OPGW, microwave paths, small-cell/CBRS candidates, colo/IX adjacency, cloud regions.
3. Design-to-Quote (Day 7–14) — energy network + OT/SCADA security architecture, BoM, SLO tables, evidence plan, compliance overlays.
4. Review & Refine (Day 14–20) — Good/Better/Best options, resilience & latency trades, PQ instrumentation, phased rollout.
5. Finalize & Order (Day 20+) — circuit FOCs, cross-connects, substation cutovers, device onboarding; acceptance sign-off & immutable evidence bundle.

• Time Sync: PTP/IEEE-1588 offset logs, GNSS health, boundary/transparent clock validations.
• SCADA/Protocols: secure session logs (DNP3/IEC 61850/ICCP), historian parity, alarm flood handling tests.
• DER/DR & Microgrids: controller command logs, DERMS dispatch audits, island/black-start tabletop evidence.
• EVSE & AMI: OCPP session records, uptime/repair SLAs, meter read logs, TOU pricing delivery proofs.
• Security & Segmentation: ZTNA/NAC admits/denies, microsegmentation hits, WAF/API events, vault rotations, SBOM intake evidence.
