Example projects — start from a copy

In simple terms

A new workspace has no project. Instead of an empty page you can start from an example: a whole project — sized, with its assumption book and both stages — that the app copies into your workspace. The copy is yours: change any value, solve it, export it, delete it. The example itself never changes, and you can make another copy at any time.

Where to find them

Projects home, while the workspace has no project: the card Start from an example.
New project (the sidebar’s + New project, or the button on the home): the panel’s last section, Or start from an example.

Choose Make a copy: the project is created in your workspace and its prefeasibility cockpit opens and solves it. The copy takes the example’s name; when a project of that name already exists it is named ”… (2)”, then ”… (3)”, and so on. Rename it like any project.

Making a copy needs the editor or admin role — a viewer sees the list and is told so. The workspace’s activity log records the copy like any new project, naming the example it came from.

The examples

Example	What it makes	Where, and on what data	What it shows
Ammonia export plant	Ammonia	The Coastal site (typical year) shipped with the app: hourly wind and solar	Prefeasibility hour by hour: how much of the wind and sun the electrolyser can use. Its feasibility design adds a battery, so the plant can hold its minimum load at night.
Multi-product plant	e-Methanol, ammonia and hydrogen for export, from one electrolyser	The Reference site (30-year, synthetic) shipped with the app	Prefeasibility on annual figures: the cost of each product, with the hydrogen and the shared plant split between the three units. Its feasibility stage runs the same plant hour by hour, with a battery added.

Each card in the app says what to look at first, in a sentence or two.

What the copy holds — and what it does not

Held: the project’s design in both stages (prefeasibility and feasibility, each with its own design versions), its assumption book with its versions, and the site it is linked to.
Not held: results. Nothing is solved in advance — the cockpit solves the copy when you open it (prefeasibility takes a moment; a feasibility solve is a click away). There are no snapshots and no saved runs.

What data the examples use

Only data that ships with the app and is public:

the Coastal site (typical year) — hourly wind and solar capacity factors for one typical year at a windy coastal site; like every shipped site, it is named after no place;
the Reference site (30-year, synthetic) — hourly profiles built from publicly reported typical capacity factors; it describes no real place;
the default assumption book v2 shipped with the app — every cost and technical value, each with its source in the book.

No measured series, no confidential data and nothing from another workspace is in an example. The copy links the shipped site by its own id, so it solves on the example’s hourly data in every workspace.
