Resources
A public resource. You don’t have to be a client to use any of it.
Four calculators that work in Canadian dollars at the rates on your own bill, a maintained library of 24 funding programs with the source link and the retrieval date beside every one, and the nine places we look when we walk a plant. No sign-up, no gate on the arithmetic.

Put a number on it before you phone anybody.
Four calculators, one per utility. They run on the page, in Canadian dollars, at the rates on your own bill.
Water
What a continuous leak costs over a year, at your own water and sewer rate.
Live nowElectricity
What an always-on load costs, including the demand charge nobody reads.
Coming — waiting on a published constantNatural gas
What off-hours burn costs over a year, with an optional carbon price.
Coming — waiting on a published constantCompressed air
The most expensive utility per unit of work — priced by horsepower and leak rate.
Live now
Want the whole plant rather than one leak? The Savings Estimator takes three numbers off your utility bills and itemizes where the money usually is.
§G.2: a calculator does not ship while any constant in its live maths is still [TOM-VALUE]. 2 of 4 are live today; the others say so plainly rather than computing with a placeholder. Every constant and its source is printed under the result.
The one that removes the objection
Grants & funding library
Budget is the first objection and usually the real one. This is the list we keep for ourselves, published.
24 federal, provincial, utility-run and municipal programs that help Canadian manufacturers pay for metering, monitoring and efficiency work. Filterable by province, utility and level. Every entry links to the official government or utility page — no aggregators — and carries the date it was read off that page.
- 24programs
- 4levels of government
- 4provinces, plus national
Program details change. Always confirm with the provider before budgeting. Amounts and deadlines are quoted from the source, never interpreted.
Where the money hides
Nine places we look, and what each one is usually worth.
Every card opens the case studies for that category — real results first, illustrative scenarios behind their ribbon.
- 01
Water
A 10 LPM leak costs >$15,000 a year.
Submeter every major consumer. We find the leak in week one; the monthly review makes sure it gets fixed.
- 02
Electricity
Demand charges are often 30–40% of the bill.
See the peaks before the utility bills them. Shift, shave or schedule — the dashboard shows which pays.
- 03
Natural Gas
Unnoticed waste quietly inflates heating bills 10–20%.
Baseload creep is invisible on a monthly bill. It is obvious on a 60-second trace.
- 04
Compressed Air
Leaks silently eat 20–30% of compressor output.
The most expensive utility per unit of work — and the easiest 20% you will ever recover.
- 05
Silo & Material Level
Someone is still climbing the silo to check.
Non-contact radar level, continuous, with low-level alerts. No climbing, no mid-run surprises, no emergency reorders.
- 06
Vibration
A bearing changes its signature weeks before it seizes.
The shift is invisible to the human senses and unmistakable in the trend.
- 07
Predictive Maintenance
Unplanned downtime runs $10,000+/hour at most plants.
The same repair, done on a Saturday instead of in a crisis. That difference is worth more than the part.
- 08
Temperature & Humidity
The 6 a.m. round takes 31 minutes — or 0 from your desk.
Health, safety and humidex monitoring that’s watched continuously, not checked quarterly.
- 09
Process Monitoring
A hunch is not something you can act on. Data is.
Cycle counts, runtime, firing rate, product temperature — the process numbers your utility bill will never show you.
All nine money facts are [TOM-REVIEW] before launch (§K.2 #15). They are Quantify's own published framings and the teleprompter case narratives, not third-party benchmarks.
