Opportunity assessment
Before committing to detailed diligence, establish what the opportunity depends on, how it fits your objectives and what you still need to know.
Where the work begins
What deserves a closer look?
- Are you assessing the land, an operating business, infrastructure—or a combination?
- What supports the commercial proposition, and which assumptions carry the most weight?
- What would the next stage of investigation need to establish?
A defined assignment
From the question
to the evidence.
I work with your objectives, time horizon and intended level of involvement to frame the assessment. For a broad interest in Australian agriculture, that can mean comparing commercial models and narrowing the research. For a specific opportunity, it means reviewing the available information, examining the business logic and identifying material gaps.
The review separates what is evidenced from what remains an assumption. I set out the questions for management, the sensitivities worth testing and the specialist input needed before the case can progress. The result is a practical basis for directing your time and diligence expenditure.
What you receive
- A concise opportunity assessment with the commercial drivers and unresolved questions
- A prioritised information request and management discussion agenda
- A staged diligence plan with the relevant specialist work identified
