What happened
Each simulation begins with a public event summary: storm type, affected regions, outage scale, restoration context, and critical infrastructure considerations.
Historical case studies
Historical grid events examined without hindsight disguised as prediction.
These case studies explain what happened, identify public information that existed beforehand, separate known outcomes from forecast-time evidence, and describe decisions that evidence could have informed. They do not claim that GeoGridIQ issued a historical forecast unless an auditable run exists.

What data existed beforehand
Simulations separate pre-event weather, vegetation, GIS, and historical outage signals from information that was only known after the event.
How signals are interpreted
The goal is to show how risk corridors, confidence, vegetation exposure, critical assets, and operational priorities could be evaluated before outages peak.
What actions could have been taken
Preparedness actions may include crew staging, critical asset review, vegetation corridor monitoring, public communications, and forecast accountability planning.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions for operators and planners.
What is a historical outage case study?
It separates evidence that was public before an event from outcomes learned afterward, then states clearly whether an auditable model run exists.
Why are historical case studies useful?
They expose hindsight leakage and clarify what preparedness decisions the available evidence could reasonably have informed.
