Independent Owner-side Governance Assured
Turning approved feasibility intent into governed commitments that protect owner accountability
Approved feasibility establishes what the project is expected to deliver. Engineering and procurement translate that intent into defined scope, commercial structures and contractual commitments. This is the stage where flexibility reduces rapidly and exposure begins to harden. Governance Decision Intelligence (GDI) provides owner-side governance insight at this point by maintaining forward visibility over whether engineering and procurement decisions remain aligned with approved feasibility intent as commitments are formed. Operating above engineers, contractors and advisors, GDI enables early recognition of emerging divergence between approved intent and contractual reality, allowing owners to intervene while corrective options remain available and accountability remains clear.
Purpose and Intent
To provide forward governance insight into whether engineering and procurement decisions are likely to preserve approved feasibility intent and decision integrity as commercial and contractual commitments escalate.
Focus and Scope
Governance Decision Intelligence (GDI) focuses on the alignment between approved feasibility intent, engineering design and procurement commitments, including: |
|
The focus is not on directing engineering or procurement activity. |
Expected Outcomes
Early identification of conditions under which engineering and procurement decisions are unlikely to support approved feasibility intent, including an increased likelihood of: |
|
These insights are formed while commitments remain adjustable and exposure is still governable, before changes become difficult or costly to unwind. |
Governance Impact
Provides an objective basis for owner-side governance action, including: |
|
This supports defensible owner governance without assuming responsibility for engineering management, procurement execution or contractor oversight. |
