In developmentBillingIQ
A first-principles billing engine for U.S. retail energy.
Get in touch →
BillingIQ is the first in-house product from data5amurai Labs. It addresses a problem that recurs across retail energy operations: the gap between a published tariff and the number that lands on a customer’s bill.
That gap usually gets filled by spreadsheets, tribal knowledge, or a vendor product whose math you can’t see. None of those scale. None are auditable when a regulator asks. And none make it cheap to ship to a new utility without months of one-off work.
BillingIQ is built differently. Rate structures for every supported utility are modeled from primary-source tariff filings, not reverse-engineered from existing invoices. Every charge on an output bill traces back through a deterministic chain of rate components. The engine is the source of truth, not a documentation guess at what the source of truth might be.
What it does.
Multi-state, multi-utility
Rate structures for 11 utility-years across 10 U.S. states and all four major RTOs, modeled directly from primary-source tariffs. Adding a new utility doesn't touch the core.
First-principles math
Every line on a bill derives from the underlying tariff components — energy, distribution, transmission, ancillaries, riders, taxes. No black-box approximations.
Built as an engine
BillingIQ is a typed API and computation core, not a UI. It composes into your existing CIS, billing platform, or data warehouse rather than replacing them.
Who it's for.
Built for retail electricity providers operating in multi-state, multi-utility markets. If your billing runs on spreadsheets, hand-written rate logic, or a vendor product that hides its math, BillingIQ replaces it with a transparent engine you can audit, extend, and trust.
Questions.
When will BillingIQ be available? +
BillingIQ is in active development with an initial private pilot underway. General availability is planned for 2026. Get in touch if you'd like to be notified or to discuss early access.
Which utilities and states are covered? +
BillingIQ currently models utilities across 10 U.S. states spanning all four major RTOs (ERCOT, PJM, MISO, ISO-NE). New utilities are added on a rolling basis. Contact us for the current coverage list.
Is BillingIQ a billing platform or a billing engine? +
An engine. BillingIQ computes correct invoices given consumption data and customer rate plans — it does not handle the CIS, payment processing, or customer-facing UI. The two halves are designed to be composed.
