Many clean energy and sustainability projects fail not because the analysis was wrong, but because the wrong analysis was done.
Projects often move forward without clear decision criteria, with uncertain regulatory or investment expectations, and with analysis that is either too shallow to defend or too complex to be useful.
As a result, teams spend time and money answering the wrong questions or producing analysis that does not support the actual decision at hand.
Once analysis is underway, correcting course becomes expensive and politically difficult.
It is not explicit what decision the analysis is meant to support.
Regulatory, investor, or stakeholder expectations surface after work has begun.
Models and studies are produced that do not materially influence the decision.
Pre-Regulatory & Investment Scoping clarifies what needs to be analyzed, how deep the analysis must go, and what standards it must meet before time, money, or momentum is committed.
We work with decision-makers early to define the economic questions that actually need to be answered and the level of rigor required.
Practical Economic Consulting helps decision-makers frame the economic problem correctly at the outset so downstream analysis is relevant, defensible, and decision-ready.
Focus time and resources only on analysis that will influence the decision.
Ensure the scope aligns with regulatory, board, or investment expectations from the start.
