Independent Decision-Grade TEA Validation

For Pre-FID Capital Allocation Decisions
What This Is

An independent technical and economic risk assessment for capital-intensive energy technologies. Benchmark-anchored, audit‑defensible, and designed to support FID go/no-go decisions.

The Problem We Solve

Most techno-economic analysis used in capital decisions falls into one of two failure modes:

Static benchmarks (e.g., national lab reports): rigorous but inflexible and non-decisionable

Custom spreadsheets: flexible but opaque, unanchored, and high-risk at decision time

This creates a trust gap at the exact moment capital is committed.

Investment committees don't need more analysis. They need defensible decisions.

The Offer

We deliver a Decision-Grade TEA Validation that answers one question clearly:

Is this technology robust enough to commit capital? And if not, what would it take—or what should kill the deal?

This is not model development or advisory consulting. It is an independent technical risk assessment aligned with real capital decisions.

What You Receive

A fixed-scope, decision-ready deliverable:

All analyses conform to ASTM E3200, AACE Class 4, and published national-lab benchmarks where applicable.

How This Is Different

More rigorous than Big-4 "technical due diligence"

More decision-oriented than academic or national-lab TEA

More defensible than internal Excel or consultant models

This work is designed to survive investment committee scrutiny, not to explore ideas.
