Net zero is the opportunity of the century.

So why don’t we sell it like one?

Arc is a set of research-backed tools for the people selling the energy transition. Know who is ready, what persuades them, and how to convert.

The story, corrected

The transition is already happening – quietly.

Driveways, rooftops and boilers are electrifying across Britain. What has not started is the selling – the marketing effort that turns quiet momentum into a mainstream market. Appetite is running miles ahead of action, and closing that gap is a marketing job.

Interest without conversion is a marketing gap. Arc exists to close it.

The curve, explained

The early market is not the mainstream.

Rogers’ diffusion curve. Britain’s home transition sits in the early market – the chasm to the mainstream is next, and crossing it is a marketing act, not an engineering one.

The Arc Index

Opportunity, readiness and the optimum marketing approach – for every home, street and region in Britain – that is the ambition, and the postcode layer arrives with v1.

The Arc Index is a future build for better energy-transition marketing: who is ready, on what category, and the message that lands – drawing on profiling, measured persuasion and validated segmentation.

Built for marketers, policymakers and business leaders getting the transition sold.

Where Arc is today, and where it goes

Today Arc is three tools and the research behind them. The segmentation, the message testing and the market mapping all come from work I did myself, alongside published sources that are named wherever they are used. The tools are free, the working is shown, and where the evidence is thin it says so.

The Arc Index is the part that does not exist yet. The destination is household-level propensity: which homes are likely to act, on what, and why. That needs far more data than three studies and a set of published models, and it is a future build. We would rather say that than imply otherwise.

If you are working on the same problem, whether or not you would call yourself part of the energy industry, we should talk. Research partners, data, campaigns worth measuring properly, or just an argument about where the segmentation is wrong. Get in touch.

What makes it different

Arc’s engine is deterministic and every claim is graded and sourced – you can see the working, challenge it, and defend it to a board. The full methodology is available on request.
