Starforge Advisory Information

Most electrical infrastructure decisions get made the same way: an engineer writes a thick report, leadership attempts to translate, and capital ends up flowing toward whichever discipline argued loudest in the last meeting. The actual highest-risk assets and programs — the ones that would hurt the business most if they failed — often don't get funded until something breaks. Starforge Advisory exists because that pattern is fixable. The fix isn’t more engineering reports — it’s analytical infrastructure built for capital decisions, not technical archives. Starforge Advisory is an owner-side firm focused on electrical infrastructure risk and capital strategy for high-consequence facilities — industrial and manufacturing operations, energy and refining facilities, and aerospace and defense manufacturing. We translate system conditions into quantified financial exposure and a prioritized capital roadmap based on industry standards and down to a dollar value that leadership can defend in a budget conversation. Our work runs on a proprietary, standards-anchored risk framework that produces decision packages, not reports — what to fund first, what deferral actually costs, and how the capital case holds up under different budget and assumption scenarios. Starforge was founded by Robert Casas, an electrical engineer with thirteen years of owner-side experience across major operating environments — six years as a refinery electrical engineer at Chevron El Segundo, lead electrical engineer building the program at SpaceX Hawthorne, and current Senior Substation Portfolio Manager in the utility industry, overseeing a $1.5 billion in capital. MBA from USC Marshall. Service-disabled USMC veteran. If electrical risk is on your capital agenda, we should talk.
