An independent TEV Report built to the standard your appraiser assesses against.
Technical feasibility, market demand and financial viability in one Techno-Economic Viability Report — with the DSCR, IRR, sensitivity and risk analysis a credit committee acts on. For new projects, capacity expansion, diversification and restructuring. Delivered in 15 calendar days.
What the committee tests — and how this report answers it
Technical viability, evidenced
Technology selection, installed capacity, site and location, raw-material and utility security, plant and machinery, and the implementation schedule — each examined against the cost of the project rather than described in isolation, so the appraiser can test whether the plant can be built and run as costed.
Market viability, quantified
Demand–supply position, competitive intensity, pricing and offtake assumptions are validated against current market data, not asserted. Capacity utilisation and realisation assumptions in the financial model are tied back to this evidence, so the projections are defensible line by line.
Financial viability, in the appraiser's own measures
Cost of project, means of finance, projected profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flows, with the ratios the decision turns on: DSCR, IRR, NPV, payback and break-even. Presented in the structure appraising institutions use, so nothing needs reformatting before it is read.
Sensitivity and stress scenarios
Every projection is stress-tested on the parameters appraisers apply: cost overrun, erosion in selling price, capacity shortfall, input-cost inflation, interest-rate movement and a delayed date of commencement of commercial operations (DCCO). The report shows where the margin of safety lies and at what point the coverage ratios weaken.
Promoter and management assessment
Track record, sector experience, the standing of group companies and the organisational capacity to execute are assessed alongside the numbers. Appraisers weigh who is running the project as heavily as what the project is; the report treats both with the same rigour.
Regulatory, statutory and environmental standing
Licences, clearances, statutory approvals and environmental obligations are mapped against the implementation timeline, with the risk matrix and mitigation measures set out explicitly. A committee can see that compliance is planned, not presumed.
How the appraisal is executed
| Applicable to | New and greenfield projects · Capacity expansion and diversification · Takeover, revival and restructuring cases · Independent viability review before a board or investor decision. Where the institution prescribes its own format, the report is prepared to it. |
|---|---|
| Team | One senior analyst leads the appraisal and remains your single point of accountability from intake to delivery, drawing on financial-modelling and sector input as the project requires. |
| Kick-off | Scoping call → data request list → written scope alignment within one working day of the call. The data request is specific to your project and its appraiser, so nothing is asked for twice. |
| Methodology | Technology and site assessment from your documents, drawings and quotations; market evidence; and a full financial model built to appraisal ratios. Assumptions are documented and sourced, so each figure in the report can be traced to its basis. A site visit can be arranged separately where the appraiser requires one. |
| Deliverable | The complete TEV Report as a signed PDF, with the financial projections and ratio analysis in the structure appraising institutions assess against, and an executive summary a committee can read in minutes. |
| Timeline | 15 calendar days from commencement — the day the booking instalment and the data on our request list are both in hand. A draft is shared for your review before the final report is issued. |
| Payment | Two instalments — 50% on booking, and the balance 50% on sharing of the draft report. A GST tax invoice is issued on receipt of each payment. |
| Post-delivery | Responses to the appraiser's queries on the report, and one round of revisions to the same document where the appraiser's format or the project data has changed — both within 60 days of delivery. |
Frequently asked questions
If yours isn't here, ask on the scoping call — we would rather answer it before you commission than after.
What is a Techno-Economic Viability (TEV) Report?
Its purpose is to give an appraising institution, investor or board an evidence-based opinion on viability from a party independent of the promoter. It is the document a credit committee reads to satisfy itself that the project's own cash flows can carry its obligations.
When does an institution ask for a TEV report?
Promoters also commission a TEV ahead of any institutional request — before a board decision, an investor conversation or a large capital commitment — because the same evidence that satisfies a credit committee also settles the question of whether the project should proceed at all.
How is a TEV Report different from a Detailed Project Report?
Where a DPR sets out the project, a TEV interrogates it: are the technology and capacity assumptions sound, does the market support the projected sales, do the cash flows carry the project's obligations under realistic and stressed conditions, and are the risks identified and mitigated. If you already hold a DPR, the TEV is prepared against it; if you do not, the appraisal establishes the project's basis from your data.
What does the report contain?
The structure follows the institutional appraisal format, so it is read without reformatting.
Who prepares the report, and what standing does it carry?
If your appraising institution prescribes a particular format, we will say so on the scoping call and prepare the work to it. Where it instead requires the report to come from its own panel, we will tell you that as well — this is an independent pre-submission report, not a panel appointment.
What do you need from us to begin?
How much does a TEV Report cost?
Commissioned together with a Detailed Project Report, the TEV report is also available as an add-on on that page at a reduced fee.
How long does it take?
Put an independent viability opinion in front of the committee that decides.
One scoping call settles the scope and the data we need. We will say plainly whether a TEV Report is the right document for your proposal — or whether something else would serve you better.

That the report is independent of the outcome
An appraisal is read differently depending on who commissioned it and what they stood to gain. This report is commissioned by you, before submission, and reaches whatever conclusion the evidence supports — including that a proposal is not yet viable in the form presented.
That the ratios are computed the way they will be recomputed
DSCR, IRR, payback and break-even are presented in the structure appraising institutions use, so nothing has to be reformatted or recalculated before it can be read against their own thresholds.
That the technical case survives the financial one
Installed capacity, technology selection, utilities and the implementation schedule are each tested against the cost of the project rather than described beside it — so the plant can be shown to be buildable and runnable as costed.
That the downside has been priced, not mentioned
Sensitivity runs on the parameters appraisers actually flex: cost overrun, price erosion, capacity shortfall, input-cost inflation and a delayed date of commencement of commercial operations. The report shows where coverage breaks.
Who prepares this report
A named senior consultant, from intake to delivery
One senior consultant is named to you at the scoping call and remains accountable for the file through to delivery. You are not handed between desks, and the person who scoped the work is the person who answers for it.
Sector and engineering input, as the project requires
Technology, plant and utility assessment is carried out with engineering input specific to the sector rather than by a generalist reading a quotation. Where a site visit is required for the technical opinion, it is arranged.
A second senior reviewer, before release
Every report is read adversarially by a second senior reviewer whose brief is to attack the assumptions the way an appraiser will, and corrected before it is released over a named signature.
The standard this engagement runs to
Scoping, deliverable definition and closure follow ISO 20700, the international standard for management consultancy services — so what this engagement covers, what you receive and when it is complete are all agreed in writing before work begins.
