Deal pathway

Project definition and option screening

• Define the core project proposition, including the underlying asset, service, or revenue generating activity
• Identify and screen alternative configurations to determine which options could plausibly support private capital participation
• Exclude configurations that rely on unrealistic assumptions about pricing, demand, or public support

Mandate alignment assessment

• Test the project against fund mandate, sector focus, geography, ticket size, return expectations, and impact constraints
• Clarify whether the project could ultimately support equity, debt, or blended capital
• Identify any mandate misalignment that would prevent future investment, regardless of project quality

Public sector and regulatory viability review

• Assess whether the legal, regulatory, and institutional environment can support private participation and contract enforceability
• Identify any critical policy or regulatory dependencies that must be resolved before progressing
• Distinguish between manageable conditions precedent and fundamental structural barriers

Sponsor and counterparty credibility screen

• Identify the likely project sponsor, public counterparty, or offtaker
• Conduct an early credibility and authority screen, including mandate, incentives, decision rights, and delivery track record
• Test whether counterparties are likely to behave consistently with long term project bankability
