Red Flags Review
Preparing to finalise a major CapEx decision?
Our Red Flags Review is designed to quickly and efficiently cross-check any CapEx proposal in front of you now.
Red Flags is not a full in-depth validation. It’s a light touch pass across the models, data inputs, technical solutions used to support the proposal presented.
It may be a light touch, but in reality we are leveraging a set of indicators, questions and insights that we’ve developed over many years. It’s surprisingly efficient and sensitive at detecting problems like:
- Critical assumptions that may have been hidden.
- Engineering solutions that been over-specified.
- Insufficient datasets and dimensions used to build the analysis models.
- Missed foresight into potential future scenarios.

Our Review Process
-
Gather Information
Data Gather - Gather the assumptions, forecasts and the scope of data that was used to build the requirements. Technical Review - Review the options under consideration and their technical specification. Interviews - A 30-minute interview with the Business Leader to understand company and project drivers. Interviews with each of the project enablers; for example, your Finance Director or Project Accountant, your Operations Director and Project Manager.
-
Collate and Review
We analyse your data, look for warning signs, assess magnitude of potential impact and compare to existing data. Where on a spectrum of project risks and threats does the investment lie?
-
Workshop
Convene the group who have provided input and test our findings.
