Decision analytics software for capital planning and asset investment

Copperleaf publishes capital-planning theory, not product news.

asset-investment-planningcapital-planninginfrastructurethought-leadershipenterprise-software
Current state
Copperleaf sells asset investment planning software to utilities and other asset-intensive operators. The feed being crawled is its marketing blog, and the entries are executive-summary essays on portfolio optimisation, climate resilience, and build-versus-buy. The newest post argues that annual capital planning cycles produce plans that are outdated before they are finished.
Where it's heading
Publishing cadence is steady at several posts a week, and the subject matter is consistent: the case for continuous, portfolio-level planning over annual project ranking. Nothing in the recent window describes a change to the product itself - no releases, no feature names, no version numbers. Judging the product from this feed is not possible; judging its marketing position is.
Prediction
Expect more of the same executive-summary format on adjacent verticals, since rail, water, and utilities have each had a post in the past two weeks.
