Dataphleet

What Dataphleet does

Dataphleet (legal name: data phleet, Inc.) is a privately held AI-driven process automation company founded in 2022 and headquartered in Highland, Utah. The company provides automation solutions specifically engineered for NERC (North American Electric Reliability Corporation) compliance in the electric energy industry, targeting Generator Owners, Transmission Owners, and utilities operating Bulk Electric System assets. Its core product is an AI-driven compliance automation platform that applies machine learning, robotic process automation (RPA), computer vision, and natural language processing to ingest regulatory standards, equipment documentation (one-line diagrams, schematics, settings sheets, name plates), and protection settings, then execute compliance validation and generate audit-ready documentation rather than merely coordinating tasks.

The product portfolio consists of a core platform plus nine purpose-built automation modules covering PRC-005-6, PRC-019-2, PRC-024-3, PRC-025-2, PRC-028, PRC-029-1, PRC-030-1, and CIP-002-5.1a, plus an inventory management module (dp: Inventory). The platform uses deterministic validation logic to produce repeatable, auditable outputs suitable for regulatory defense. Patent-pending technology underlies the automation architecture. Dataphleet distributes through direct enterprise sales, strategic partnerships with NAES Corporation (power generation's largest independent services provider) and an unnamed leading consulting firm, and offers cloud-hosted, hybrid, and fully on-premise deployment models to address utility security requirements.

The company operates on a SaaS subscription revenue model with quote-based pricing. Customer segments include Electric Energy Utilities and Power Companies (primary), Independent Power Producers, Operations & Maintenance firms, and Compliance Consultants. Leadership includes co-founders Ryan Larsen (CEO) and Mike Margetts (CTO), plus Chief Revenue Officer Kevin Koger. The company has raised $600,000 in pre-seed funding from Startup Ignition Ventures (2025) across fewer than 10 employees.

Core offering

Dataphleet provides an AI-driven automation platform that performs NERC (North American Electric Reliability Corporation) compliance checks for electric utilities, generators, and transmission owners. Using machine learning, robotic process automation, computer vision, and natural language processing, the platform ingests NERC standards, equipment documentation, protection settings, and one-line diagrams, then executes deterministic compliance validation and automatically generates audit-ready evidence. The product portfolio includes a core platform plus purpose-built automation modules for PRC and CIP standards (e.g., PRC-005-6, PRC-019-2, PRC-024-3, PRC-025-2, PRC-028, PRC-029, PRC-030-1, CIP-002-5.1a) and asset inventory management.

Product overview

Dataphleet offers an AI-driven NERC compliance automation platform (patent pending) that performs compliance checks rather than merely coordinating them. The core platform uses RPA, machine learning, AI, and computer vision to ingest NERC standards, equipment documentation, and protection settings, then automatically execute compliance validation and generate audit-ready documentation. The product portfolio includes purpose-built automation modules: dp: Inventory (asset inventory management), dp: PRC-005-6 (protection system maintenance), dp: PRC-019-2 (generating unit coordination), dp: PRC-024-3 (frequency/voltage ride-through), dp: PRC-025-2 (generator relay loadability), dp: PRC-028 (disturbance recording), dp: PRC-029 (IBR ride-through verification), dp: PRC-030-1 (stability performance), and CIP-002 Automation (cyber asset identification). Each module targets specific NERC standards with automated validation logic, evidence generation, and continuous monitoring capabilities.
