Services

Rigorous business analysis, with deep appreciation of risk built in.

Our offering spans the full arc of a market-entry decision — from first feasibility question to defensible recommendation. Understanding and mitigating risk is never a separate workstream; it is woven intrinsically into everything we do.

Feasibility & business cases

Feasibility studies and business cases, built to your standard.

We produce feasibility studies and Full Business Cases to whatever standard a decision demands — corporate investment committee, board, lender, donor or government. Whatever the framework, the output is complete, internally consistent and ready to withstand scrutiny.

Our expertise spans the major appraisal frameworks, and includes preparing business cases to full UK Government Green Book standard and the HM Treasury Five Case Model where that is what the client requires. We bring the same rigour whichever standard applies, and have delivered this work across energy, major infrastructure, and defence and security.

Business cases to your chosen framework — SOC, OBC and FBC, Five Case Model, or a bespoke structure built to satisfy the specific body that must approve it.
Options and economic appraisal — structured options analysis, cost–benefit assessment and value-for-money judgement, to Green Book standard where required.
Commercial and financial structuring — deliverable, affordable and procurement-ready, with funding and risk allocation set out clearly.

Risk-adjusted costing and analysis — sensitivity and scenario testing, with every assumption documented so it survives independent review.
The management case — governance, delivery planning and benefits realisation that show the programme can actually be run.

The result is a business case a sponsor can defend to whoever must approve it — board, committee, lender, donor or ministry — and act on with confidence.

Business analysis

Decision-grade strategy and finance.

Feasibility Studies

Is this opportunity real, and can it be delivered here? We test demand, economics, operating conditions and execution risk to give a clear, evidence-based answer.

Business Cases

Rigorous, numbers-backed cases for investment, funding or board approval — structured to withstand the scrutiny of committees, donors and ministries.

Market Strategy

Entry, positioning, partnership and growth strategy designed around how a market genuinely operates — including its informal rules and power structures.

The added dimension

Holistic risk expertise for opaque & fragile markets.

In stable markets, risk is a chapter. In the markets we specialise in, it shapes the whole decision. We read political, security, regulatory, financial and reputational risk together — and translate them into commercial consequence. Understanding and mitigating risk is woven intrinsically into everything we do, not bolted on at the end.

Political & Stability

Governance, factional dynamics and the trajectory of stability over your investment horizon.

Security & Operations

On-the-ground threats and the practical conditions of operating safely and lawfully.

Regulatory & Integrity

Legal, compliance, sanctions and corruption exposure — and how to navigate them cleanly.

Reputational

Stakeholder, partner and counterparty risk that could compromise your standing.

Operational resilience

Resilience, built into the design.

We design mitigation strategies so that business continuity and disaster recovery are fundamental to a programme's design from the outset — not retrofitted after the fact. Like risk, resilience is woven intrinsically into everything we do.

Underpinned by deep geopolitical risk expertise, our planning weighs the threats appropriate to each operating environment — wherever in the world that may be — so operations can absorb a shock, adapt and continue.

Natural disaster — continuity through environmental and physical shocks.
Criminal attack — protection against theft, fraud and organised crime.
Espionage — safeguarding information, people and operations.
Hostile, state-sponsored attack — resilience against sophisticated adversaries.
Exploitation & ransom — preparedness for extortion, ransomware and coercion.

Engagement formats

Scoped to the decision in front of you.

Engagements range from a focused due-diligence sprint to a full multi-month feasibility and strategy programme. Whatever the format, the output is the same in spirit: a clear view of the opportunity, the risk and the recommended path.
