🔋 Use case 22 HorizonGreenfield · Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB
Which home batteries and backup systems help a family through a blackout, and which still work when the internet is down?
The thing that keeps the lights on in an outage also keeps the plan: the family, the medicines, the neighbours, hour-by-hour guidance and how long the battery will last.

Prismatic Agents makes Prismatic. Its row is first, highlighted and labelled, so you can compare every solution against it; the others follow alphabetically and are ranked by nobody. Every value carries an evidence label; "Where Prismatic leads" is our view as its maker.
The situation today
Home batteries already watch the weather: Tesla's Storm Watch and Enphase's Storm Guard charge to full before a storm, and apps show how long the battery will last. That intelligence lives in apps and clouds. During the outage itself, when the internet may be gone, none of them talks the family through the plan, remembers who needs medicines kept cold, or checks on the neighbour.
Machines and chips in use: Tesla Powerwall 3, Enphase IQ Batteries, Generac PWRcell 2 (18 kWh cabinet), EcoFlow and Anker portable home batteries (Anker SOLIX F3800: 3.84 kWh).
Greenfield for Prismatic. No product here keeps a private, lasting local mind inside the machine: Prismatic on the Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB is designed for this gap.

What this sector pays today: Home battery apps included with a US$11,000-40,000 installed system (Tesla Powerwall, Generac) (Reported, source). That is often a whole product; Prismatic adds the lasting local memory beside it. Hardware is bought by you from Apple or NVIDIA. Electricity at 14.2¢/kWh around the clock.

Reviews and gaps
One card per solution. Strengths first; gaps are about this job, not about the product being bad.
Anker SOLIX F3800Anker · Portable home battery
Our review. Automatic switch to backup for up to 12 circuits; expandable.
A calm voice with the family's plan when the grid and internet are down.
Remembers who needs medicines cold, oxygen, or a neighbour's check.
Knows the battery's charge and load (PPAI) and says how long it will last.
A receipted record of the event for insurance and recovery.
How Prismatic solves it
Host: Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB inside the machine (greenfield).
A Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB built into the battery or backup system, at its lowest power mode (about 15 W, advised; to be measured).
The Mac mini is not a fit here: it needs mains power.
The family's plan kept as standing guidance (F09); reminders and check-ins (F20, F47).
Calm hour-by-hour guidance by voice with no internet (F30, F16).
The battery reports charge and load through PPAI (F33); the power arbiter keeps the mind at its lowest power (F48).
A receipted record of the event for insurance and recovery (F12); weather advisories before the storm (F57).
Hosts. Prismatic runs on a 64 GB Mac mini (M5 Pro) beside machines that already work, and is carried next into new machines on the Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB, the host for greenfield sites.
Retrofit: Mac mini with M5 Pro, 64 GB, 64 GB unified, 307 GB/s; about US$2,699 (US$1,699 base plus US$1,000 for 64 GB (Apple configuration prices, reported)).
Licence here (proposed sector price, US$): US$5 per home a month, unlimited turns. What this sector pays today: Home battery apps included with a US$11,000-40,000 installed system (Tesla Powerwall, Generac) Reportedsource. Design-partner pilot: US$5,000 for 90 days, credited in full to the first year's licence. How Prismatic is licensed
Status: Memory, reminders, voice, presence and the power arbiter run today; blackout mode and the battery link are to build. Features used: Local-only, Standing guidance, Calendar + reminders, Local speech, PPAI gateway, Self-heal / power arbiter, Receipt ledger / audit, Presence / promise keeper.
A day with it: The storm takes the grid at 02:10. The battery's voice wakes gently: power is out, the fridge with the insulin is on the protected circuit, at this load the battery lasts about 31 hours, and the plan says check on Mrs. Lee next door at first light.

The team Genesis would build for this
The battery that keeps the lights on also keeps the plan: family, medicines, neighbours and hours of power left. A product line for battery makers, with licences per unit, is a business to build.

Investment outlook
Score62/90
Money in the market4/5
Ease of funding now3/5
Local-mind advantage5/5
Approach: Built into new battery products; the Mac needs mains power.
Market: Large and growing: home batteries and backup power are a big hardware category; a licence per unit adds up.
Funding: Moderate: climate-resilience funds are active, but it depends on a battery maker's product cycle.
Business model (hypothesis): Licence per battery or backup unit, sold through the maker; resilience-programme pilots with utilities and insurers (hypothesis).
Why fund it, and the risks: Home batteries are a large, growing hardware category, and climate-resilience money is active. Risks: long product cycles for battery makers, safety claims.
First validation step: Design 'blackout mode' with one home-battery or solar maker and five families; run a planned drill. Goal: a design-partner agreement.
Scores are first-pass hypotheses from general industry knowledge (UseCase file 05), not researched market sizes.
For patient investors
The same mind, market after market.
Retrofit sites pay first on a 64 GB Mac mini (M5 Pro) beside machines that already work. Greenfield machines carry the same mind inside, on the Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB, licensed per machine. The horizon (blackouts, wilderness, space) is where a mind that needs no cloud is not a feature but the point.
