Overview: 

Project CLEARPATH™ is a proprietary permitting intelligence and execution framework purpose-built to eliminate regulatory bottlenecks, mitigate ESG and stakeholder risks, and compress development timelines across utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage projects in North America. Designed and led by Mais Deris, the platform has delivered material results by aligning permitting strategies with enterprise risk principles and investor-grade execution standards. 

Strategic Value Proposition: 

In an industry where permitting risk is the number one silent killer of timelines, budgets, and stakeholder trust, CLEARPATH™ transforms complexity into clarity and friction into forward momentum. The system integrates legal foresight, regulatory intelligence, and community alignment into a unified project delivery model. 

Core System Components: 

1. Permitting Timeline Compression (on AVG. 18–36 Months Saved)     Jurisdiction-specific playbooks aligned to regulatory regimes (CEQA, IESO, OEB, ESA, NEPA, IAA, REA, CUPs, ALUC) proactively eliminate delay risks, enabling projects to move from PPA to NTP at accelerated speed. 

2. Risk & Stakeholder Shield Architecture     Deploys pre-engineered strategies to identify litigation traps, secure Indigenous and community alignment, and engineer defensible records that survive legal and political scrutiny. 

3. GIS-Powered Regulatory Intelligence Dashboards     Aggregates environmental, political, and regulatory data into executive-grade heatmaps, permitting risk scores, and real-time portfolio monitoring tools. 

4. AI-Integrated Permitting Forecasts (2025+)     Integrating generative AI to deliver real-time approval duration predictions, stakeholder sentiment mapping, and adaptive permitting strategies customized per jurisdiction. 

Industry Impact: 

CLEARPATH™ has been recognized for transforming permitting from a cost center into a competitive advantage. By aligning legal, environmental, and social risk into the front-end of project development, it reduces overall enterprise exposure while enhancing stakeholder confidence and capital deployment efficiency. 

Leadership & Vision: 

As the architect of Project CLEARPATH™, I bring a multidisciplinary background across energy infrastructure, risk management, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder engagement. My approach combines hands-on field knowledge with boardroom strategy, ensuring both executional precision and enterprise-level alignment.
