Independent Validation Before Capital Commitment


We strengthen investment confidence by independently validating project definition, capital assumptions, delivery strategies and owner readiness before major commitments are made.

TacminMadini operates between project development and capital commitment, testing whether the project is sufficiently defined, supported and ready to advance.

Where organisations engage us

Applied across project studies, expansions and major capital programmes where scope, cost, schedule, delivery readiness or owner capability requires independent validation before commitment.

We are typically engaged when:

  • Project definition requires independent challenge
  • Scope, cost or schedule assumptions remain unresolved
  • Delivery strategies are still developing
  • Owner capability requires assessment
  • Critical project interfaces lack alignment
  • Capital commitments are approaching

We independently validate:

  • Project definition and scope
  • Capital estimates and schedules
  • Material assumptions and exposure
  • Delivery and contracting strategies
  • Owner-team capability
  • Critical interfaces and dependencies

Typical Capital Validation Engagements

Capital Validation is typically applied where projects are approaching investment, funding or delivery commitments and the owner requires independent confidence in project definition, assumptions and readiness.

Capital Validation may include:

  • Project readiness reviews
  • PFS and DFS validation
  • Business-case and investment-gate reviews
  • Scope, estimate and schedule validation
  • Delivery and contracting strategy reviews
  • Owner-team readiness assessments
  • EPCM and consultant recommendation reviews
  • Expansion and brownfield readiness reviews
  • Joint-venture and funding due diligence
  • Final investment decision readiness reviews

 

The objective is to establish an independent capital readiness position identifying material exposure, commitment conditions and required owner decisions.

What changes when we are involved

  • Project definition becomes clearer
  • Capital assumptions are independently tested
  • Estimate and schedule confidence improves
  • Material exposure becomes visible
  • Delivery readiness is better understood
  • Capital decisions become more defensible
  • Stakeholder confidence strengthens

Independence matters

  • No delivery position to protect
  • No design or estimate ownership
  • No contractor or supplier alignment
  • No transactional incentives
  • No commercial position to advance

TacminMadini operates independently where project readiness, capital assumptions and delivery strategies require objective challenge before major commitments are made.

How the architecture operates

Capital Validation is applied through Governance Decision Intelligence (GDI), a structured intelligence architecture that tests project definition, capital assumptions, delivery readiness and material exposure before major commitments are made.
