Assurance Services - Capital Readiness

Building Confidence Before Capital Commitment

Is Your Project Ready for Capital Commitment?


A major investment, funding or execution decision is approaching, but project definition, assumptions, cost, schedule or delivery preparedness may not be sufficiently clear.

Whether progressing through a PFS, DFS, investment gate, expansion or final investment decision, owners need confidence that the basis for commitment is sufficiently supported.

TacminMadini independently tests the basis for commitment and establishes the conditions requiring owner attention before the project advances.

Engage TacminMadini When


  • Project definition requires independent challenge
  • Estimates or schedules remain uncertain
  • Key assumptions have not been sufficiently tested
  • Delivery or contracting strategies are still developing
  • Owner capability and project interfaces require confirmation
  • Executives, investors or lenders require an independent readiness position

What We Deliver

Capital Readiness Position

An independent, evidence-based position on the project’s readiness for the approaching commitment. It provides:

  • Evidence and readiness status - what is adequately supported, incomplete or unverified
  • Assumption challenge - key assumptions requiring further evidence or validation
  • Material exposure - principal technical, capital, schedule, commercial and delivery implications
  • Commitment conditions - actions, evidence and further diligence required before proceeding
  • Independent readiness conclusion - whether to proceed, proceed conditionally, defer or reconsider

Readiness Intelligence

Readiness Intelligence brings together evidence from studies, estimates, schedules, risk registers and delivery plans and tests it for gaps, inconsistencies and unsupported assumptions. It connects those findings to:

  • The project’s actual readiness
  • The exposure affecting commitment
  • The investigation or action still required

These findings inform the Capital Readiness Position presented to the owner and relevant decision-makers.

Is a Major Capital Decision Approaching?

Establish an independent Capital Readiness Position before significant commitments become difficult to change.
