Lobster gives UK energy brokers a live non-commodity stack, Companies House client profiles, and a daily market outlook — so every Lock / Watch / Wait call you make is grounded in something you can defend to the client.
And it's also where most tooling stops — a dashboard of spot prices isn't advice.
You need a defensible answer on the call — not a gut feel and yesterday's news headline.
You all see the same supplier panels. Advice is the only thing left to compete on.
Contract placed, then two years of nothing — until they're out shopping again.
No ML black-boxes, no price-forecast theatre. Just live feeds, sourced numbers and a recommendation engine you can explain.
A 5-factor engine scores days-to-renewal, CfD trend, CfD stretch, BSUoS step and a daily market outlook into a single call — with a Lobster-written narrative the broker can read straight to the client.
At 06:30 Lobster reads the market — EUAs, TTF, CfD publications, policy news — and produces a direction, horizon and bullet-point themes so your first call of the day has context.
Commodity blend (ICE Base + Peak) plus every regulated non-commodity charge itemised, regional, with source and effective date — so you can defend the number line-by-line.
Type the name, pick the match, Lobster pulls the canonical trading name, SIC-derived industry, registered office and an AI-written "about the business" paragraph for the top of every report.
Type the client's name, pick the match. Lobster pulls the profile, industry, registered office, and drafts broker-facing operational notes from their SIC codes.
See today's UK market outlook and which clients sit in LOCK / WATCH / WAIT based on their renewal dates and the live non-commodity stack.
One click generates a branded PDF with the recommendation narrative, all-in price breakdown, and bespoke "about the business" paragraph.

Commodity forwards via ICE (broker-terminal CSV import or Barchart front-month). Non-commodity live from the Low Carbon Contracts Company (daily reconciled CfD levy) and NESO (BSUoS, TNUoS zonal, AAHEDC). RO, FiT, Capacity Market and DUoS are seeded from public Ofgem and DNO publications.
All-in £/MWh = commodity blend (client's base/peak split × forward settlement for their target product) + regional non-commodity stack for their DNO zone. Every line item is shown separately with its source, publication date, and effective period.
A transparent five-factor score: days-to-renewal, CfD levy trend, CfD stretch vs recent history, the next BSUoS fixed-tariff step, and the daily Lobster market outlook. Score ≥ 4 triggers LOCK; 1–3 WATCH; ≤ 0 WAIT. The narrative is regenerated when any input changes.
