Who Tier3 serves
Built for communities & organizations facing complex choices in clean development.
Tier3 supports leaders who need more than generic advice and data workflows: they need clear analysis of infrastructure, land, energy, financial, and public-facing impacts.
Energy & affordability organizations
Organize infrastructure and demographic data, stress-test load growth, reliability assumptions, ratepayer impacts, and resilience options.
NGOs, land & environmental teams
Screen land and forestry opportunities, evaluate project claims, connect geospatial data to carbon strategy, and communicate risks.
Small companies & clean-tech teams
Replace ad hoc spreadsheet work with cost-effective data pipelines, cloud workflows, dashboards to evolve your technical capabilities.
What Tier3 does
Transform scattered evidence to decision-ready deliverables.
Tier3 will help you build your data pipeline or apply geospatial analysis, climate and energy modeling, financial scenario analysis, carbon-market fluency, and plain-language communication to help leaders see the real decision landscape.
Grant & infrastructure support
Develop data-backed narratives, maps, metrics, and supporting analysis for environmental, energy, resilience, infrastructure, and community-focused proposals.
Clean-tech & land analytics
Weather, forestry, remote-sensing, and land-system analysis for planning, screening, resilience, and project development.
Energy and grid decision support
Evaluation of load growth, reliability claims, resource-planning assumptions, ratepayer exposure, and non-wires alternatives.
Carbon project and GHG strategy
Support for CDR project screening (nature-based & engineered), GHG accounting interpretation, market-instrument analysis, and methodology-aware review.
Financial and scenario modeling
Decision models that compare benefits, risks, uncertainty, and sensitivity to assumptions across multiple future pathways.
Maps, dashboards, & decision products
Create clear maps, dashboards, memos, and reports that help teams explain findings to funders, boards, commissioners, partners, and the public.
Example products
Concrete deliverables, not vague advice.
Tier3 products are designed to help leaders make, explain, and defend decisions.
Decision products that look as clear as the analysis behind them.
Example one-page framing memo preview.
Decision Framing Memo
A concise, stakeholder-ready memo that clarifies the context, competing claims, core risks, unknowns, and next questions.
Automated Planning Data Package
A repeatable workflow that pulls together datasets, local files, maps, and summary tables for a specific project or planning need.
Interactive Map Package
Spatial layers showing infrastructure proximity, land constraints, environmental context, development suitability, and exposure.
Scenario Dashboard
Adjustable assumptions for revenue, load, emissions, land use, water demand, infrastructure cost, or avoided-risk value.
Technical Due Diligence Brief
Plain-language review of methods, assumptions, claims, data gaps, uncertainty, and credibility for technical proposals.
Grant Evidence Kit
Maps, metrics, figures, and plain-language technical support for environmental, energy, infrastructure, or community resilience proposals.
How Tier3 works for complex decisions
A practical workflow for complicated decisions.
The method is simple: define the decision clearly, bring the right data together, stress-test the claims, and communicate the result in a form that decision-makers can use immediately.
Frame
Clarify the real decision, stakeholders, constraints, available leverage, and what must be known before action.
Model
Build scenario logic around costs, benefits, resource demand, risk exposure, timing, and uncertainty.
Map
Connect the analysis to real geography: infrastructure, land, communities, environmental context, and jurisdictional boundaries.
Stress-test
Identify which claims are robust, which are fragile, and which depend on assumptions that deserve scrutiny.
Communicate
Deliver the findings as maps, reports, slides, and dashboards fit for the audience.
Featured planning analysis use case
Data center readiness and impact analysis.
Counties are increasingly asked to evaluate large data center proposals with limited time, incomplete information, and major infrastructure implications. Tier3 can help local leaders understand the potential benefits, risks, and negotiating questions before commitments become difficult to reverse.
- Estimate fiscal, infrastructure, power, water, land, and community impacts.
- Translate generalized industry data into county-scale first-order scenarios.
- Identify which claims require developer, utility, or agency verification.
- Create briefing materials for commissioners, staff, and public-facing discussions.

About Tier3
Technical depth, public-facing clarity.
Tier3 Resilience is a boutique consulting firm led by Bjorn Brooks, PhD, an environmental data scientist with nearly twenty years of experience in private industry, federal, and state government across carbon and energy markets, forestry, clean-tech, and infrastructure decision support.
The firm is built around a simple premise: technical analysis is most valuable when it is accessible and understandable to leaders who need it to make informed decisions under uncertainty.

Need a clearer view of a complicated decision?
Tier3 can help turn complex technical information into a decision-ready memo, map, model, briefing, or dashboard. Reach out to discuss a project, proposal, or early-stage question.
Start with a short conversation.
Describe the decision, the audience, the timeline, and the information you already have. Tier3 can help identify the fastest useful next step.
