EnergyVeritas provides the data extraction, peer benchmarking, analytical framework, and exhibit preparation that supports expert witness testimony — without EnergyVeritas or Dr. Ouattara appearing as a named witness. Law firms and expert witnesses get commission-grade data infrastructure. You file the testimony.
Package A
Complete data extraction, cleaning, and formatting for a specific utility and proceeding. Weighted average procurement costs, Henry Hub benchmark, peer group comparison, ratepayer impact calculation, and methodology documentation. Delivered as a structured dataset the expert witness builds testimony around.
$5,000–$8,000 · 1 week delivery
Package B
Data package plus preliminary analysis — key findings, defensible analytical framework, and exhibit drafts. The expert witness takes this and builds their own testimony. EnergyVeritas does not appear anywhere in the final filing. Covers gas procurement, ratepayer impact, reliability, and clean energy metrics.
$10,000–$18,000 · 2–3 week delivery
Package C
Complete research and analytical infrastructure for a major proceeding. Data extraction, peer benchmarking, scenario analysis, exhibit preparation, and methodology documentation across all relevant verticals. The expert witness puts their name on the testimony. EnergyVeritas is the backbone.
$18,000–$35,000 · Retainer available
The economics: An expert witness billing $400–$600/hour who spends 40 hours extracting and validating EIA Form 923 data costs their client $16,000–$24,000 for work EnergyVeritas provides for $5,000–$8,000 — and provides better, because EnergyVeritas already has the validated 18-year national data pipeline built. The economics are obvious to any law firm managing litigation costs.
