Energy Infrastructure Reliability

Where infrastructure meets verifiable truth.

Reliability methodologies for the utilities, regulators, and institutions that run critical energy infrastructure.

Core methodologies

Two methodologies designed for truth and trust.

Together, BRIS and VRL give utilities and their stakeholders a shared layer of truth and trust for asset health and reliability attestation, without exposing sensitive operational data. Designed for utility engineers, NERC CIP regulators, institutional finance teams, and grant bodies, the methodologies anchor reliability in verifiable, chain‑agnostic records while keeping implementation inside the utility’s boundary.

BRIS

Baseline Reliability Intelligence System

The Layer of Truth

BRIS is the private methodology an investor-owned utility uses to establish and maintain its canonical asset-health record inside the utility boundary.

  • Private and IOU-internal by design.
  • Structures the full canonical record of asset health.
  • Uses Hyperledger Fabric as a reference implementation.

VRL

Verified Reliability Layer

The Trust Layer

VRL is the public methodology for reliability attestation, allowing utilities to publish proof of record without exposing the underlying asset data itself.

  • Publishes hash, timestamp, and opaque reference only.
  • Preserves privacy while enabling public attestation.
  • Chain-agnostic, with multiple blockchain testnet integrations already in place.

BRIS and VRL are methodologies invented by Zakir Sadiki for structuring truth and trust in energy infrastructure reliability.

Who we serve

Built for the institutions behind critical infrastructure.

The New Financial World LLC serves the institutions behind critical energy infrastructure. Our work is built for utility engineers responsible for asset health, NERC CIP regulators evaluating controls and attestation, institutional finance teams assessing reliability and risk, and grant bodies supporting infrastructure innovation. These audiences need methodologies that make reliability transparent and verifiable without turning complex systems into software products, and BRIS and VRL are designed specifically for that purpose.

Utility engineers

Teams responsible for asset health, reliability, and operational truth.

NERC CIP regulators

Stakeholders evaluating credibility, controls, and verifiable infrastructure processes.

Institutional finance

Capital teams seeking clearer attestation models for critical energy systems.

Grant bodies

Ecosystem and innovation programs evaluating reliability-attestation initiatives.
