Battery Pulse

Frequently asked questions

What we do, what we don't, and how a report works.

What does Battery Pulse do?

We research who owns and controls battery suppliers, using public records, and turn what we find into evidence and findings you can use in FEOC and prohibited foreign entity decisions.

What do I get?

A short report with our findings and an ownership diagram, plus the evidence workbook behind it, so every finding traces back to its source.

Is this a certification or a legal opinion?

No. We provide evidence and findings, not a certification, legal opinion or tax advice. Your counsel and tax advisers make the call; we give them a well-sourced starting point.

How is this different from what my accounting firm does?

Accounting firms usually test the material assistance cost ratio. Who owns and controls a supplier is often left to counsel, and that's the part we document.

What sources do you use?

Public records only: company filings, corporate registries, government lists and company disclosures. Each fact in our workbook carries a note on where it came from.

Can you look at a supplier we already use?

Yes. Many requests are about existing suppliers, especially before a project starts construction or a credit is claimed.

How long does a report take?

Standard reports take 5 business days, priority 2 and rush 1, counted from when we confirm the scope and you agree. Delivery times apply to most suppliers; complex ownership groups are quoted, with the date confirmed before you commit.

How much does it cost?

A Supplier Intelligence Report is $2,500 for standard delivery (5 business days), $5,500 for priority (2 business days) and $7,500 for rush (1 business day). Enterprise engagements are quoted. Nothing is charged until you agree.

Is my request confidential?

Yes. We don't share who our clients are or which suppliers they ask about.

How strong is each finding?

Every finding carries a strength label, so you can see which points are firmly documented and which need more checking. Our method page explains the labels.

Which supply chains do you cover?

We focus on battery supply chains for US energy storage and manufacturing. Ask us about related equipment.

Can I see a sample?

Yes. See the preview or request our anonymized sample report and we'll send it by email.
