​This guide is for analysts and investment teams who want to push Ko further. The prompts below mirror how Modo Energy's own analysts use Ko, and how they work alongside power users, to do high-impact work: building investment cases, decomposing revenue, benchmarking portfolios, and pressure-testing the numbers behind a decision.

Ko cites every answer back to Modo Energy's research, benchmarks, and forecast methodologies, so you can defend the output in any room.

Two habits separate the best results from the rest:

• Give Ko the full context and the constraints up front, and keep following up.
• The depth comes from the conversation, not a single question.

Build and defend the investment case

Turn a project or portfolio into an investment-ready case. Ko gives you the revenue stack, the risks, the comparable return ranges, and the citations to back each one, so you can move from idea to committee-ready in a fraction of the usual time.

Try asking Ko:

Then go deeper, for example: "Now add a floor contract and show how it changes the downside case."

Decompose revenue down to the driver

See exactly where value is captured and where it leaks. Ko breaks revenue apart by stream, by stage, and by time, so you can pinpoint what is helping or hurting returns rather than reacting to a single headline number.

Try asking Ko:

Then go deeper, for example: Calculate the absolute revenue, not the annualised average, for that month, and show me how you got there.

Benchmark a portfolio like-for-like

Compare your fleet to the market on a fair basis. Ko normalises for the things that distort raw numbers, so you see genuine over- and under-performance and the reasons behind it, not noise.

Try asking Ko:

Then go deeper: For the underperformers, which revenue streams are they missing versus the benchmark?

Pressure-test a forecast methodology

Understand exactly how a forecast is built and how sensitive it is. Ko reads the methodology behind every Modo Energy forecast, explains the logic in plain language, and links to the source, so you can trust the number and defend it under scrutiny.

Try asking Ko:

Then go deeper: Where does this methodology differ from how you would model an adjacent market, and why?

Ready to go further? Open Ko and bring a real piece of work: a project you're underwriting, a portfolio you're reviewing, or a number you need to defend. Give Ko the full context, keep following up, and connect it to your own tools through MCP to keep the analysis where you already work.
