Finance & Capital

Capital allocation logic: Why capital is deployed here vs alternatives.
Risk–return trade-off: Expected returns relative to downside, volatility, and tail risk.
Cost of capital assumptions: Are discount rates, hurdle rates, and risk premiums appropriate?
Time-horizon alignment: Do investment durations match strategic intent and cash-flow reality?
Optionality & flexibility: What options are preserved vs foreclosed by the investment.
Liquidity & solvency impact: Effects on cash buffers, leverage, and financial resilience.
Portfolio balance: Concentration risk, diversification, and correlation across bets.
Capital structure implications: Debt vs equity mix; covenant constraints.
Execution & realization risk: Can projected returns actually be realized operationally?
Sensitivity to shocks: Interest rates, inflation, demand collapse, regulatory change.
Governance & controls: Who approves, monitors, and can halt investments?
Exit paths & reversibility: Divestment, write-down, or shutdown scenarios.
Incentive alignment: Do executive rewards encourage prudent allocation or excessive risk-taking?
