Technical Due Diligence & Strategic Advisory

Technical Due Diligence

Good diligence is not just a checklist. It should expose the assumptions that matter, explain where risk sits, and show what needs to happen next.

We review projects with an engineering lens that stays grounded in delivery reality, from grid and technology interfaces through to contracting, programme, and residual technical risk.

Our outputs are built for investment decisions: concise where needed, detailed where it counts, and transparent about what remains uncertain.

Initial technical review of project readiness and assumptions

Opportunity screening

Initial technical review of project readiness and assumptions

We test whether the investment story is supported by the engineering case, with early attention to hidden dependencies that can materially affect scope, cost, or programme.

  • Review of design maturity, assumptions, and key dependencies
  • Identification of technical gaps that could change value or timing
  • Challenge of optimistic claims around grid, scope, and performance
Deep dives on the engineering issues behind the headline case

Technical evidence

Deep dives on the engineering issues behind the headline case

Where the underlying technical story needs more scrutiny, we focus on the areas most likely to alter risk allocation, delivery certainty, or downside exposure.

  • Targeted investigation of critical technical interfaces
  • Review of studies, reports, and assumptions supporting the project case
  • Clear separation of validated evidence from unresolved questions
Materiality-led findings for investors and lenders

Risk framing

Materiality-led findings for investors and lenders

We organise findings by materiality so transaction teams can distinguish between manageable issues, items that need monitoring, and risks that meaningfully affect value.

  • Categorisation of red flags, watch items, and next actions
  • Technical commentary linked to commercial implications
  • Support for internal papers, Q&A, and investment review processes
Support through diligence responses and transaction progress

Strategic advisory

Support through diligence responses and transaction progress

We stay close to sponsors and deal teams as issues are clarified, mitigations are proposed, and counterparties challenge or refine the technical position.

  • Second-opinion support during negotiations and transactions
  • Focused commentary on the issues most likely to affect outcomes
  • Practical mitigation planning for post-close delivery
Independent due diligence deliverables tailored to decisions

Outputs

Independent due diligence deliverables tailored to decisions

Outputs are designed to support real investment decisions, whether the need is a concise red-flag review, a full diligence report, or targeted technical challenge on a specific issue.

  • Independent technical due diligence reports
  • Focused red-flag and opportunity-screening reviews
  • Mitigation action plans linked to investment decisions
