Reading the result

  • 80+Strong conviction

    Returns and market fundamentals both support a full underwrite.

  • 65+Investable with conditions

    The thesis works if preleasing and power land where you have assumed.

  • 45+Thin

    The spread does not compensate for the risk on these inputs.

  • 0+Do not proceed

    The economics do not clear a development risk premium.
