Performance Is Rarely Measured Against Original Economics

After installation, many projects are assumed to be successful as long as they are operational. In practice, actual performance often diverges from projections due to pricing changes, operational issues, degradation, or flawed assumptions made at the outset.

Without independent financial review, underperformance can persist unnoticed and lessons are not carried forward.

Actual Results are not Compared to Original Projections

Savings, revenues, and costs drift from forecasts without clear explanation.

Underperformance is Hard to Isolate

It is unclear whether issues stem from pricing, usage, system performance, or structural assumptions.

Future Decisions Repeat Past Mistakes

Without post-analysis, the same assumptions are reused in new projects.

Verify Performance After Capital Is Committed

We compare real performance to original financial assumptions to determine whether the investment delivered as expected, where gaps emerged, and what can be improved going forward.

The goal is not fault-finding. The goal is learning, accountability, and better capital decisions next time.

What the Analysis Covers

A structured financial review based on actual operating data.

  • Actual vs. Projected Performance: Comparison of realized savings, revenues, and costs against original models.
  • Cost & Revenue Variance Analysis: Identification of drivers behind over- or under-performance.
  • Assumption Validation: Review of pricing, usage, degradation, escalation, and operational assumptions.
  • Cash Flow & Return Realization: Updated cash flows, payback timing, and effective returns based on real data.
  • Risk & Exposure Review: Assessment of ongoing downside risk and sensitivity going forward.
  • Portfolio Insights (if applicable): Cross-project comparisons to identify systemic issues or best practices.

Icon
Decision Framing & Scoping

We start by clarifying the decision at hand, the constraints you face, and the level of regulatory, financial, or public scrutiny the analysis must withstand.

Icon
Data Review & Assumption Validation

We review available data, internal models, and external benchmarks. Key assumptions are identified, tested, and documented before analysis begins.

Icon
Data Analysis

We analyze the data using appropriate economic, statistical, or quantitative methods based on the decision context and available information. This may include descriptive analysis, modeling, scenario testing, or other methods as warranted by the question.

Icon
Decision-Ready Outputs

Results are synthesized into clear, structured findings designed for boards, regulators, investors, or public review.

Icon
Implementation Support (Optional)

When needed, we support proposal review, contract comparisons, and final decision checkpoints before capital is committed.
