Why this workflow matters

Technical due diligence tests whether project claims are supported by current, internally consistent evidence. It should distinguish verified facts, reasonable assumptions, unresolved gaps and professional opinions.

Questions to answer

  • Which documents support the stated maturity?
  • Are boundary, capacity, yield and grid assumptions consistent?
  • Which risks could change value or schedule?
  • What conditions should be attached to the decision?

Recommended workflow

  1. 1Set scope, materiality and reliance boundaries.
  2. 2Build a controlled document and evidence register.
  3. 3Test key claims across land, grid, consent, design, yield and cost.
  4. 4Report findings by severity with actions and decision implications.

Evidence to collect

  • Current document register
  • Permits, land and grid agreements
  • Design, studies and energy model
  • Cost, programme and risk records

Decision-ready outputs

  • Due-diligence findings register
  • Information-gap schedule
  • Executive technical-risk opinion
