501(c)(3) in formation · research & technology transfer

Funded research, wired to the world.

Powerhouse is being stood up to steward federal awards, coordinate research partners against milestones, and move validated work toward production through fair-market licensing and open publication.

The stations

Funded work with a path to use.

Programs address federal priorities, with a clear route from award requirements to transfer-ready results.

I

Energy harvesting

Wearable kinetic generation, storage materials, and grid integration.

II

AI infrastructure

Scalable data pipelines, model serving, and context-grounded AI systems.

III

Blockchain security

Smart-contract assurance and cross-chain protocol security research.

IV

Environmental technology

Remediation methods, environmental sensing, and field monitoring.

V

Compliance evidence

Milestones, reports, and data kept audit-ready for every award.

VI

Technology transfer

Foundation-managed IP licensed on documented, fair-market terms.

Transmission

From the lab bench to the license.

1

Award

Secure and steward the federal award.

2

Research

Coordinate partners against milestones.

3

Validate

Prototype, evaluate, and document.

4

Transfer

License, publish, and report outcomes.

The grid

Grid, station, application, transformer.

Each award runs as its own station. Applications are shared with partner institutions under the award's terms — controlled data is never pooled across institutions.

Commons

Grid

The Foundation's research network.

Entity

Station

One award and its program office.

Output

Transformer

A license, publication, or result.

The keepers

Keepers of fire and intercession.

Fire-bringers and advocates — the Foundation's personas track milestones, assemble evidence, and prepare reports under Idio-scoped identities.

Inspection certificate

Built for regulated, multi-entity organizations.

The same identity, policy, provenance, and consent controls run under every Colossal Capital product.

  • AI provenanceEvery AI-assisted result in Powerhouse Foundation is disclosed and traceable — which persona acted, which model ran, on whose authority, from which sources.
  • Built for AI regulationTransparency notices, human oversight, risk documentation, and audit logs designed to support EU AI Act, Colorado AI Act, and NIST AI RMF / ISO/IEC 42001 programs.
  • Private by designEntity-scoped storage, data minimization, encryption in transit and at rest, and GDPR / CCPA-CPRA request handling. Customer data never trains a shared model without opt-in.
  • Fine-grained provisioningIdio SSO over SAML and OIDC, entity context, role and attribute policy, and a named, scoped, revocable identity for every agent.
  • Humans at the gateConsequential actions wait for an eligible approver, and every decision lands in an exportable audit trail.

Private models, at the scope you choose — nothing rolls up on its own.

  • UserOne investigator's drafting preferences
  • ContentOne award's approved evidence
  • EntityOne institution's private program history
  • OrganizationPublished, open research results

Controlled and unpublished research data stays within its award; nothing is pooled across institutions. Shared ecosystem learning is a separate, sanitized, opt-in path. AI transparency notice.
