Current phase, verified facts, projected assumptions, milestone timeline, and what is required to move from proposal to active deployment. All quantitative items are labeled with evidentiary status.

Current Status

Phase: Pre-Authorization

Current Phase
Pre-Authorization — Proposal Submitted
Updated July 2026
The Texas County pilot is not yet active. A formal proposal has been submitted to municipal and county parties. The pilot will become active when authorization is granted, funding is secured, and at least one data center operator enrolls. None of these conditions have been met as of this writing.

Real vs. Projected

What Is Known vs. What Is Modeled

Confirmed / Existing
Proposal status
Formal proposal submitted to county parties — April 2026
Framework documents
Policy White Paper, GCTS-1, Charter, Roadmaps — all published and downloadable
Aquifer stress
USGS-documented recharge deficit in Texas County region
Simulation documents
Engineering simulations for OK and TX conditions — published as projections
Projected / Proposed
Water savings
Engineering model output — not a field measurement. Requires Phase 1 sensor data.
Municipal revenue
Financial projection based on Compute Dividend model. Not audited. This is a modeled design projection, not a measured outcome.
ROI / payback period
Engineering model estimate. Actual figure depends on operator enrollment, grid conditions, and aquifer draw rates.
NBR value
Cannot be calculated until GCTS-1 measurement data is collected from deployed sensors.

State-level regulatory submission (if supported by data)
Authorization Requirements

What Is Needed to Move from Proposal to Active Pilot

The following conditions must be met before Phase 0 begins. None are currently satisfied.

Municipal or County Authorization
Formal authorization from Texas County commissioners or Guymon city council to proceed with sensor deployment and pilot protocol. Status: proposal submitted, response pending.
Phase 0 Funding
Funding to cover sensor procurement, installation, data infrastructure setup, and 90-day data collection period. Source not yet secured. Potential pathways: municipal grant, federal water infrastructure funding, private pilot sponsorship.
Green Code Foundation Incorporation (501c3)
The independent governance body must exist before pilot authorization can be granted under the formal protocol. Incorporation is in process. Timeline: estimated Q3 2026.
At Least One Data Center Operator Enrolled
A data center operator must formally enroll in the pilot protocol and agree to GCTS-1 measurement requirements for the pilot to generate meaningful compliance data. Operator conversations are ongoing — no formal commitments as of this date.
EPA SDWA §1431 Petition Filed (or Waived)
The pilot protocol proposes EPA §1431 petition filing as a mechanism to trigger federal oversight of aquifer depletion risk. This petition can be filed by the municipality or the Foundation. Filing is in preparation. Alternatively, municipal authority may determine filing is not required for Phase 0.
Funding Model

Proposed Financial Structure

All financial figures below are PROJECTED — outputs of the engineering financial model in the proposal documents. No funding has been secured. No revenue has been generated. These are planning-phase estimates.

The proposed SYNC Subscription Model covers four revenue streams under the Compute Dividend mechanism:

  • Operator Fee
    Annual licensing fee paid by enrolled data center operators for SYNC node authorization. Fee structure in the financial model document. PROJECTED
  • Compute Dividend
    Portion of efficiency savings transferred to the host municipality as a community benefit payment. Amount is a function of actual measured efficiency gains — cannot be calculated until field data exists. PROJECTED
  • Water Savings Credit
    Proposed credit mechanism for water recovered through the thermal symbiosis system. Credit value depends on local water pricing and the actual measured recovery rate. PROJECTED
  • Audit Revenue
    Fees collected for GCTS-1 compliance audits performed by accredited auditors. Requires Green Code Foundation to be operational and auditor accreditation established. PROPOSED
