The method is the same, but what makes the difference varies by sector: capacity in a factory, occupancy in a hotel, liquidity in property development. Here is where we focus in each.
Medical, food and packaging plants, studied through capacity, supply chains and unit cost.
The key question: does expected capacity cover unit cost at a competitive margin?
Heritage inns, desert camps and tourism experiences, studied through seasonality, occupancy and pricing.
The key question: does low-season occupancy cover fixed costs?
Trading, distribution, recycling and projects tied to ports and economic zones.
The key question: what throughput makes the project profitable?
Private schools, training centres and institutes, modelled on capacity and fees.
The key question: at what enrolment rate does the project break even?
Clinics, specialist centres, pharmacies and laboratories, including regulatory requirements.
The key question: does local demand support the proposed specialty and equipment?
Residential, commercial and off-plan development, with cash-flow and liquidity analysis.
The key question: do early-phase sales fund construction without a liquidity gap?
Modern farms, aquaculture and food processing, studied through yields and seasonal risk.
The key question: how do yield and price swings affect returns?
Investment waqfs, charitable and cultural projects that preserve the principal and grow its yield.
The key question: does the yield cover the intended purposes while preserving the asset?
Apps, platforms and digital transformation projects, modelled on subscriptions and acquisition cost.
The key question: does customer lifetime value exceed acquisition cost?
