The decision product
Small enough to commission early. Rigorous enough to stop a weak idea.
The Screen is for an owner deciding whether to renovate, reposition, acquire, or investigate further. It makes the current hypothesis explicit before a full consultant team is mobilised.
Decision context
The property baseline, owner objective, constraints, and decision deadline.
Scope scenarios
Two or three plausible intervention paths, including a limited or stop option.
Commercial range
Indicative capex and revenue ranges with assumptions and confidence labels.
Payback sensitivity
What must be true for the case to work, and which variables can break it.
Owner recommendation
A clear proceed, investigate, or stop recommendation and the next questions.
How it works
A decision in three moves.
01
Frame
A focused owner call, data request, and written definition of the decision to be made.
02
Test
Desktop review of property performance, market evidence, scope options, capex logic, and attribution limits.
03
Decide
A 10–15 page owner memo and a working session on the recommendation, risks, and next questions.
Is this the right first step?
Test the shape of the decision.
Four questions distinguish a useful early screen from work that is too soon, too late, or better served by another engagement.
Two-minute fit check
01 / 04
Decision timing
When does the owner need to make the next material decision?
A good fit
The owner still has a choice to make.
- — A renovation, acquisition, or repositioning decision is expected within 3–12 months.
- — Two or more plausible scope paths are still available.
- — The owner can provide basic operating data and an indicative capex view.
- — The desired output is a decision record, not a design concept.
Not a fit
The answer has already been designed.
- — The brief and capex are fixed and the need is design validation.
- — The assignment requires architecture, engineering, valuation, or financing advice.
- — No owner-side decision maker can participate in framing the question.
- — The objective is to justify a predetermined outcome rather than test it.
