If you do site selection or feasibility work for AI data centre builds, you already know the problem: the landed cost of transformers, switchgear, chillers and accelerators is now a moving target. Section 232 steel and aluminum, reciprocal duties, exclusions granted and withdrawn, state-level sales and use tax exemptions opening and closing to new large loads. Anyone claiming a live, to-the-hour tariff-accurate build estimate is selling you something.
We took the other approach. The
SCR AI Build Configurator refreshes its cost constants, regional power datasets and tax/tariff rules
once a month. One dated version, one changelog entry, one set of numbers you can defend in a room. Current release is v1.3.1 — nine Canadian provinces in CAD, all 50 US states plus DC in USD, state sales and use tax treatment, property tax index, large-load take-or-pay flags and interconnection queue estimates.

https://strategiccryptoreserve.ca/sitemap.htmlLicensing is per domain, per year, no auto-renew:
- Standard — CAD $4,000/yr, three lease-model configurations
- Pro — CAD $10,000/yr, all seven configurations, white-label theming
- Enterprise — quoted, multi-domain, SCR attribution removed
- Site Screening Report — CAD $950, one site, credited against a Standard or Pro licence bought within 60 days
The soft part of the sell. If you're mid-conversation with a high net worth client right now, the $950 screening report is the thing you should already have in hand — CapEx by line item, energy and opex, revenue scenarios, payback, build-plus-interconnection timeline. It is cheap insurance against walking into a meeting with a spreadsheet you built from last quarter's duty rates.
If you'd rather run the numbers yourself while the deal is live, ask for a
working copy:
- 7 days — CAD $600
- 15 days — CAD $900
- 30 days — CAD $1,500
Fee credited in full against a Standard or Pro licence taken within 60 days. Enough runway to model the site, present it, and close the client before you commit to an annual term.
Every sale closes by phone or email — contact details are on the configurator page, along with the Licence Terms & Annual Usage Agreement PDF. Estimates are planning-grade from published third-party benchmarks, not engineering-stamped.
