                                - The grid connectivity model to edge devices/assets exists in disparate systems and has a low accuracy rate
- Identification and remediation of communication issues (i.e., poor communicating
                                    devices and network bandwidth issues)
- Capture and correlate data with system conditions and with the as-configured grid
