In particular, such analytical reports can serve as a comparison of project alternatives, by examining market share and the revenue base, create detailed cost and cash flow analysis or company valuation assumptions, based on cash flow-projections of future earning power as well as indentifying critical risk parameters regarding profitability.

A key instrument in the completion of these tasks is a preliminary, but comprehensive financial model that gives consideration to the priorities and preferences of the investors. The economic forecasts, physical and business constraints and the functional and operational requirements of the project are taken into consideration. The project assessment model is refined in a multi-phase process reviewing critical aspects, such as:

• detailed investigation of need as well as design of various components of the investment
• reconciliation of investment budgets with the implementation schedule
• consideration of the increasing details respecting financing terms and conditions
• legal and tax concerns
• a realistic appraisal of the start-up and learning curve

Ultimately it is possible to create a comprehensive and clearly defined overview of the project, projecting its expected profitability and estimating the risks, which will enable a conclusion to be reached about the projects overall viability.
