About

We come from an industry where you sign your name to your numbers.

Refineries and petrochemical plants run on a discipline most software never meets: every reading logged, every change reviewed, every decision owned by a person whose name is on it. We are practicing engineers from that world, based in Lake Charles, and we brought the discipline with us. Powered Metrics builds AI that works the way a good control room does: it moves fast, but nothing happens without a signature, and everything that happens is on the record.

Where we come from

Founded in Lake Charles. Calibrated by the plants next door.

This is one of the most industrially dense regions in the country. Refining, petrochemicals, LNG, and the whole economy of businesses that keeps them running: contractors and fabricators, and also the hotels, restaurants, and clinics that keep the people running.

We started Powered Metrics on a conviction that came straight from that work: the rigor the biggest operations pay millions for is now, with AI applied carefully, within reach of a business of almost any size.

Carefully is the load-bearing word. We did not build AI that replaces your judgment. We built AI that reports to it, and keeps the receipts.

Who we serve

From major facilities to the businesses around them.

Our work fits a wide range of organizations, not just the largest plants.

Industrial operations

Energy, refining, petrochemical, LNG, and manufacturing facilities that run on process, safety, and margin.

The supporting ecosystem

The contractors, suppliers, fabricators, logistics, and service companies that keep those operations moving.

Small business & startups

Smaller and growing companies that deserve the same caliber of analytics and AI the giants buy, sized and priced for them.

How we work

Three promises, every time.

The decision comes first

We start with the call you're trying to make, then pick the tools. Never the other way around.

Built to be trusted

Everything we deliver is documented, repeatable, and easy to check, to the standard a serious buyer expects.

We hand you the keys

You get the code, the documentation, and the know-how to run it yourself after we're done. No lock-in.

What sets us apart

Four things worth knowing.

We've actually run operations

We learned this work inside refineries and plants, not just from textbooks. We know what holds up when the pressure is on.

Enterprise-grade foundation

We build on AWS and Microsoft 365 and work toward SOC 2 standards, the same footing your larger partners already trust.

The people you meet do the work

The person who scopes your project is the person who delivers it. We keep engagements focused enough to keep it that way.

Straight about trade-offs

If a project doesn't need AI, we'll tell you. If a spreadsheet beats a dashboard, we'll say so. Honest advice is the whole point.

Leadership

Founder.

Powered Metrics is led by its founder, an engineer with real experience in the industries we serve.

Jacob Vincent

Founder, Managing Partner

Jacob is a chemical engineer who has spent his career where the work actually happens: refineries and petrochemical plants. He has worked on process operations, safety systems, process control, instrumentation, and reliability, so he understands both the plant floor and the bigger business decisions above it. At Powered Metrics, he turns messy operating data into clear answers using tools like Power BI, Python, process models, and AI, with one aim: safer, more reliable, more profitable operations.

Work that begins with a conversation.

Whether your project is well defined or still taking shape, the first step is the same: a short talk to see if we're a fit.
