An investment committee in kanduras and suits reviews a value chart on a wall screen at dusk, with a development under construction and lit cranes beyond the windows.

Does this proposal stand up before we commit?

Investment Validation traces a proposal’s value to its drivers and assumptions and tests how it moves, so the committee sees returns and risks together before it commits.

The questions it answers

Five questions, answered on one evidence base.

  1. 01What really drives the value of this proposal?
  2. 02Which assumptions are evidenced, and which are hopeful?
  3. 03How does value move if cost, phasing or absorption shift?
  4. 04Which risks remain open, and who owns them?
  5. 05What would the committee need to see to approve?

How Hakken works on it

From the first reading of the evidence to a recorded decision.

  1. 01UnderstandTrace the proposal’s value drivers back to their sources and assumptions.
  2. 02GenerateRun sensitivities on the variables that move value: program, phasing, cost and absorption.
  3. 03EvaluateSet returns against risks and open questions, so the committee sees both together.
  4. 04DecideGive the investment committee a recorded rationale it can challenge.
