Revenue lost does not come back.

Which meters to replace first?

Meter fleets age unevenly, and replacement budgets rarely stretch far enough to cover them all in one pass. Without a clear basis for sequencing, changeout programs default to age or fixed rotation — while the meters actually driving under-registration and unauthorized consumption, and the revenue lost to them, keep running unchanged. Baseform prioritizes meter replacement by payback period, apparent loss reduction, or age and performance, and identifies under-registration and unauthorized consumption directly from the data — not from a hunch about which neighborhood is underperforming. Meter management and DMA water balance run within the same framework, so real-loss and apparent-loss reduction are planned jointly rather than as two separate exercises. Revenue estimation and demand prediction back the business case for each replacement with numbers a finance team can defend.
