A techno-economic analysis is most useful when its assumptions can be traced back to the process. Before reviewing a single financial output, understand what the model assumes about feedstock, product specification, recovery, production rate, and the equipment needed to deliver it.
Delta3CoreTec's existing investment diligence resource brings those engineering and commercial questions into the same review.
Make the assumptions visible
Begin with a defined process boundary and a clear description of the product. Separate measured results from estimates, and identify the assumptions that still need pilot or supplier evidence.
For each major input, consider who owns it, what supports it, and how much uncertainty remains. A useful review follows the relationship between the material balance, equipment basis, operating requirements, and commercial assumptions.
Use sensitivity to guide the next work
Compare plausible cases instead of relying on a single outcome. The purpose is to find the questions that deserve more technical work: a yield assumption, a reagent requirement, an equipment choice, or a qualification constraint.
The original TEA Investment Diligence Template and its archived infographic provide a starting framework. Illustrative numbers in those resources are examples, not a valuation or estimate for a particular project.
