Requests outside this scope receive a clear reply that the information cannot be provided at this time. Coverage grows with every release, so see the roadmap below.
Guided scoping
PTR AI opens by asking which topic you want to cover, then walks through country, segmentation, metrics, and years. You approve the table layout before any figure is populated.
Capacity and voltage breakouts
Break the market out by capacity, by voltage, or both. When you choose both, voltage always sits on the outer level and capacity on the inner level, so tables stay consistent from one request to the next.
Units, MVA, and revenue
Choose one metric or all three. Units are whole numbers, and MVA and revenue are rounded to the nearest whole number, so tables are ready to use.
Confidence rating on every figure
Each number carries a Trusted, Confident, Partial, or Uncertain rating, stated beside the figure it applies to.
Plain-language explanations
Ask how a figure was built and PTR AI explains it from the approved table, the methodology behind it, and the whitelisted sources used.
Tables built for reuse
Every table includes machine-readable row and column keys and a JSON mirror, so your scripts and spreadsheets can look up any cell.
Why PTR AI
Answers you can defend, from a team that has sized this market for a decade
PTR AI packages more than 200 man-years of knowledge focused on market sizing in the power sector. Four things set it apart.
The Confidence Index
This rating applies to everything PTR AI uses and generates. It sets the foundation of why you can trust our model above the others.
Five dimensions, each scored on its own
Secondary researchPrimary researchMethodologyTriangulationForecast
A weakest-link cap keeps one weak input from hiding behind strong scores elsewhere. A project rated Partial on primary research, for example, can reach Confident overall at most, even when every other dimension is Trusted.
PTR AI aims for Confident or better on every answer, and tells you plainly when the evidence cannot get there.
Rating levels
TrustedConfidentPartialUncertainUntrusted: never used
Whitelist and blacklist methods
PTR AI draws on a curated whitelist first: regulators and government agencies, electric utilities, and industry associations. Typical sources include annual reports, regulatory filings, network statistics, and capital expenditure plans.
Publishers whose methods cannot be verified, or whose output carries a marketing agenda, sit on the blacklist and are never used. If a blacklisted source is the only evidence for a figure, PTR AI says so and leaves the figure out.
Proprietary market models
PTR analysts’ methods are encoded as step-by-step workflows, so every request follows the same documented process. PTR prefers the bottom-up method: each part of the market is sized on its own and aligned afterward.
Calculations run in deterministic code with automatic sanity checks. The language model explains the results and never invents a number.
A unique expert network
Cognito, PTR’s Expert Network, runs expert interviews and structured surveys. Its experts work at utilities, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms, and project developers.
That primary research feeds the Confidence Index, which rewards recent interviews, relevant roles, and several independent data points per geography.
The foundation
200+
man-years of knowledge focused on market sizing in the power sector sit behind every PTR AI answer.

Who it’s for
Built for everyone who works in the power sector
The power sector is a subset of the wider energy sector, and PTR AI serves any professional who sizes, sells into, builds for, or invests in it. Pick an organization type to see typical roles and example questions.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) build and sell transformers, switchgear, and related equipment. PTR AI gives their planning, product, and commercial teams a defensible view of the market they sell into.
Product managersStrategy and market intelligenceSales and business development leadersSupply chain and capacity planners
How large was the German utility market for distribution transformers in 2025, in count and capacity?
PTR AI confirms the scope with you, then returns Germany’s 2025 units and MVA in one table. Each figure carries a Confidence rating and the whitelisted sources behind it, so the numbers can go straight into a planning review.
Which voltage classes drive most of the expenditure in France?
PTR AI breaks the French utility market out by voltage class and returns units and revenue for each class. Product managers can see which classes carry the volume and which carry the value.
Is Country 1 or Country 2 the larger revenue opportunity for our product line?
PTR AI places the two countries side by side on the same metrics and year, with a Confidence rating on each figure. A thinly evidenced estimate is never weighed like a well-corroborated one.
Engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms design and deliver grid and substation projects. PTR AI helps their bid, procurement, and development teams size the demand behind a project pipeline.
Procurement and sourcing leadsEstimating and bid managersProject development teamsBusiness development leaders
What capacity classes make up utility distribution transformer demand in Mexico?
PTR AI returns the Mexican utility market by capacity class in units and MVA. Estimators see the mix behind the volumes they will source against.
We are building a supply plan for utility work in Germany. How many units does the market absorb in a year?
PTR AI returns Germany’s 2025 unit volume with the base year labeled. If 2025 data is not yet available, it uses 2024 and says so, so your plan states its base year.
Can I trust the Argentina figure enough to use it in a bid?
PTR AI shows the Confidence rating by dimension, names the dimension that limits it, and explains what would raise it, such as a second independent source or a more recent interview.
Energy investors back the companies and assets that power the grid. PTR AI helps investment teams size a market quickly and judge how far each number can be trusted.
Investment associates and principalsDue diligence leadsInfrastructure and private equity analystsEquity research analysts
How do the 2025 revenue pools for utility distribution transformers compare in Germany and France?
PTR AI returns both countries’ 2025 revenue in one table, with the Confidence rating and sources beside each figure, ready for an investment memo.
How defensible is this number in front of an investment committee?
PTR AI explains how the figure was built using only the approved table, the methodology, and the whitelisted sources. It states the Confidence rating it can support and, if the evidence cannot reach Confident, names what is missing.
We like what we see. Can we go deeper on a target’s market?
Move the project to PTR analysts and Cognito experts for a custom study. Your PTR AI scope, tables, sources, and ratings carry across as the starting point.
Also built for you. Utility planners and asset managers, consultants, lenders, policy analysts, and any other professional who needs a defensible view of power sector markets.
Customer voices
What power sector teams say about PTR AI
Placeholder testimonials: the names, roles, and quotes below are fictitious and for layout only. Replace them with approved customer quotes before launch, then delete this note and the Sample labels.
I had a sourced, rated market size inside my AI assistant before the planning call started. The Confidence rating made it easy to say which numbers were solid.
Daniel Reyes
My team scopes a country, approves the table, and gets figures with named sources in one conversation. Sizing used to mean weeks of desk research.
Priya Nair
When the evidence is thin, PTR AI says so. I need that candor before a number goes into an investment committee paper.

Questions and answers
What teams ask before they connect
A one-way street
Knowledge flows from PTR to you, not the other way around. PTR never accesses your logs, and no data leaves your organization.
What is an MCP server?
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets AI assistants use outside tools and data during a conversation. PTR AI is an MCP server: once you add it to your AI assistant, the assistant can call PTR’s market sizing methods and answer with PTR’s figures, ratings, and sources.
Which AI tools can I use with PTR AI?
Any assistant that supports MCP servers, for example Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and VS Code with GitHub Copilot. Support for custom servers depends on the tool, your plan, and your IT settings.
What does PTR AI 1.0 cover?
Market sizing for distribution transformers in the utility vertical, for Argentina, France, Germany, and Mexico. You can break the market out by capacity and voltage and choose Units, MVA, and Revenue. Historical figures cover 2025, with 2024 where 2025 is not yet available.
What happens if I ask about something outside that coverage?
PTR AI replies that the information cannot be provided at this time. It stays inside its scope, and the roadmap shows what is coming next.
Can PTR AI forecast or run scenarios?
Forecasting and scenarios arrive in version 1.1. Version 1.0 covers historical market sizing.
How does licensing work?
PTR AI is licensed by seat, with Single Seat, Team, and Enterprise plans. Pricing is coming soon. Team is limited to 10 seats, Single Seat and Team carry a one-year minimum term, and Enterprise pricing is custom, so talk to PTR about your needs. Every plan starts with a free trial.
How do I move from PTR AI to a custom project?
Contact PTR through the contact page. Projects started with PTR AI flow into human-powered custom projects, so your scope, tables, sources, and Confidence ratings give PTR analysts and Cognito experts a running start.
Does PTR ever access my logs?
No. PTR never accesses your logs, your conversation history, or your files.
Is PTR AI really a one-way street?
Yes. Knowledge flows from PTR to your AI assistant, and no data leaves your organization.
Will my questions or data be used to train AI models?
PTR AI does not receive your organization’s data, so there is nothing of yours to train on.
How reliable are the numbers?
Each figure carries a Confidence rating of Trusted, Confident, Partial, or Uncertain. The rating draws on five dimensions: secondary research, primary research, methodology, triangulation, and forecast. PTR AI aims for Confident or better and says plainly when the evidence cannot reach it.
Where do the numbers come from?
From PTR’s whitelist of regulators, utilities, associations, and other vetted sources, PTR’s proprietary market models, and primary research from Cognito, PTR’s Expert Network. Blacklisted sources are never used.
Can the AI make up numbers?
Figures come from PTR’s models and data, and calculations run in deterministic code with automatic sanity checks. The language model explains the results and never invents a number.
Who do I contact about security or procurement questions?
Reach PTR through the contact page and we will connect you with the right person.
