Use one decision framework
The current and proposed sites should be assessed against the same demand, throughput, pricing, cost, funding and return logic. Differences must reflect site characteristics rather than inconsistent modelling assumptions.
Connect site and operating economics
Land tenure, access, zoning, traffic, loading, warehousing, cold-chain interfaces and material flow affect both capital cost and operating performance. Concept-level logistics observations should therefore feed the financial assessment.
Test delivery alternatives
Self-finance, concession or BOT and hybrid structures shift funding, risk and control differently. The strongest option is the structure that remains affordable and implementable—not simply the one with the highest base-case return.
Identify missing evidence
The assessment should conclude which market, engineering, traffic, legal, environmental or authority inputs must be completed before procurement or investment approval.
