Define the opportunity precisely
Clarify the intended activity, market, operating model, development horizon, and decision criteria.
Test the dependencies
Review which assumptions depend on water, infrastructure, inputs, capability, approvals, or market access.
Separate evidence from expectation
Document the source and date of important inputs, and treat scenarios as scenarios rather than promises.
Use stage gates
