What we examine

Four questions every investment must answer

We test the plan from market to plant floor, so the numbers in the business case match what can actually be built and run.

Capacity and product mix

Which volumes and products the plant must handle, now and in ten years.

CAPEX and OPEX

A realistic investment and operating cost estimate, independent of vendors.

Location

Raw material supply, utilities, logistics, permits and labour.

Risk
