Pre-FID Stress Test Audit Intake

Step 2 qualification for decision-grade capital risk analysis

Before you start: You are requesting a Pre-FID Stress Test Audit. This is a 5-7 day decision-grade evaluation of the assumptions that determine whether your project is investable under real operating conditions.

For projects approaching pre-FID and capital allocation decisions: FEED/FEL stage transitions, board/IC approvals, and external diligence where assumptions must be defensible.

DG-PFF initiation: This intake captures the system boundaries and assumptions required to evaluate parity conditions and fragility thresholds under the Decision-Grade Parity-Fragility Framework (DG-PFF).

A TEA Quick Audit provides screening-level risk identification based on client-provided inputs and verified benchmarks. It does not constitute a full techno-economic validation, audit-defensible TEA, or investment certification.

If this checkpoint is skipped, capital decisions can proceed on non-defensible assumptions.

Appropriate For

DOE, ARPA-E, or state energy grant applicants
Early-stage screening of hydrogen, SAF, or power-to-X projects
Investors or sponsors seeking an independent plausibility check

Not Appropriate For

Full TEA or bankability studies
Design optimization or scenario exploration
Requests for audit-defensible results without source documentation

What the Audit Includes

Review of client-provided TEA inputs
Comparison against verified benchmarks (e.g., H2A)
Identification of economic plausibility breaches and major deviations
PDF screening memo (5-7 pages)
Optional 30-minute walkthrough

Qualification flow: Product page -> submit intake -> intake acceptance/decline -> scoped call for accepted cases.

Calls are confirmation and pressure testing, not first-pass discovery.

Capacity note: We accept a limited number of audits per quarter.
