The Signals Prompt Pack

Ready-made prompts for advanced nuclear and next-gen geothermal, through the Signals MCP connector. Pick your role, copy a prompt, swap the bracketed placeholders for your own developer, buyer or market.

What Signals tracks
Forward commitments Offtake agreements and PPAs Infrastructure projects and phases Project milestones Developers and technologies Funding rounds and backers Participant roles Field-level evidence and sources

Every field carries its evidence grade and source, so you can check what an announcement actually means. Combine these records around your own question — who signed what, with whom, and how far each project has really moved.

Every prompt ends with ‘Use Signals’ — that tells your AI tool to use the Signals connector instead of relying on memory. Keep it when you copy.

Investors

Sourcing, diligence and tracking which developers have real contracts behind them.

New here? Start with a tour of what Signals can doFive ways Signals can support your work, with an example prompt for each.

I’ve just connected the Signals MCP connector by Net Zero Insights, covering advanced nuclear and next-gen geothermal.

Based on what you know about my work, identify the five most valuable ways Signals can support it. For each one, explain the capability, when to use it, what the Signals record adds (forward commitments, project milestones, field-level evidence), and provide an example prompt.

Key prompts

What actually movedNew agreements, milestones and rounds, with binding deals kept apart.

What has actually moved in [Advanced nuclear / Next-gen geothermal] over the last [90 days]? List new forward commitments, project milestones and funding rounds. For each agreement, show the stage (e.g. MOU, LOI, definitive agreement), commitment level, capacity and delivery window.

Separate binding commitments from reservations, options and non-binding announcements, then give me 3–5 key takeaways.

Use Signals

Read past the headlineWhat was really signed behind an announcement.

[Buyer] and [Developer] announced [headline, e.g. a 500 MW deal]. What does the record show was actually signed?

Give the agreement type, purchase structure, stage, commitment level, contracted capacity, term and delivery dates, with the evidence grade and source for each field. Then tell me in one line how the headline differs from what was signed.

Use Signals

First pass due diligenceA developer's projects, contracts and backers before the first call.

Give me a first-pass diligence view of [Developer]: technology, projects and phases, milestones to date (actual vs estimated, with the precision of each date), forward commitments by stage and commitment level, offtakers, funding rounds and key backers.

Finish with the open questions I should raise on a first call, and flag any facts that are only weakly inferred.

Present it as a table by agreement, with the source behind each figure.

Use Signals

Slipping timelinesProjects whose expected dates have moved, and why.

Which [Advanced nuclear / Next-gen geothermal] projects have moved their expected operation or delivery date? For each, show the earliest date recorded, the latest estimate, the precision of each date and the source behind the change.

Sort by the size of the delay.

Use Signals

Deal sourcing: funded, not yet contractedDevelopers with capital but no binding offtake yet.

Find [Advanced nuclear / Next-gen geothermal] developers that have raised funding in the last [24 months] but have no binding offtake yet. For each, show total raised, latest round and backers, any non-binding agreements, and the next milestone that would de-risk the company.

Rank them by how close they look to a first binding contract.

Use Signals

Who is buying power from [Advanced nuclear / Next-gen geothermal]? Group forward commitments by buyer type (hyperscalers, utilities, industrials, others) and show each buyer’s agreements, capacity, purchase structure, stage and delivery window.

Flag buyers working with more than one developer.

Use Signals

Find active investorsWho is backing developers, and who they co-invest with.

Who are the most active investors in [Advanced nuclear / Next-gen geothermal] developers, and who do they co-invest with? For each investor, list the developers backed, the rounds joined, and whether those developers hold binding offtake.

Use Signals

Map an investor's exposureA portfolio traced through to the contracts behind it.

Map [Investor X]‘s exposure to [Advanced nuclear / Next-gen geothermal]: portfolio developers, rounds, the projects those developers are building, and the forward commitments behind them by stage.

Where is the exposure backed by binding contracts, and where is it still headline only?

Use Signals

Check the evidenceEvery field on one record, with its grade and source.

Audit the record for [Agreement or project]. List every field with its value, evidence grade (Explicit, Strongly inferred, Weakly inferred, Derived) and source.

Flag anything weakly inferred or derived, and anything where sources disagree.
