Twenty-two years building for operators.
Raptrix is where it led.

Matthew Musto spent 22 years at NYISO, including as Principal Engineer. He ran the Day-Ahead Market, then moved into IT, and from there into deep development of the tools operators use on shift.

That work was multi-threaded contingency analysis, and the video-wall visualization the desk watches. Performance mattered, because the answer had to be there while the system was still in that state. NERC CIP compliance mattered, because those systems sit inside the control room.

Dynamic Reserves is what turned that work into Raptrix. Reserves needed N-1-1 coverage, and Operations would not accept a design that required them to hand-define every N-1-1 contingency first. They were right. The answer was a deeper contingency analysis: planning studies for thermal limits, voltage, and first-swing transients, run in real time on the system that is actually in service.

Screening augments operator judgment and does not replace the desk. It is the low-maintenance way to run those studies from the current operating point. Raptrix began in 2013 as Kestrel.
