Feasibility Studies & Market Analysis

## Make Informed Go/No-Go Decisions with Confidence A feasibility study in the front end is a multi-faceted reality check. It combines market, technical, and financial analysis to judge whether a project is viable before large design costs are incurred. According to ITAC, a good feasibility process "points a project in the right direction" by giving decision-makers a holistic view of potential benefits, disadvantages, barriers, and constraints upfront.

What to Include

A strong feasibility report covers all essential areas:

Market Demand and Pricing Is there a customer or off-take market? What price assumptions drive the revenue model?

Technical and Site Constraints Can the chosen technology work given site conditions, resource availability, and regulations?

Preliminary Cost & Schedule Ranges What are expected capital and operating costs (typically Class 4/5) and rough timelines?

Risk Factors Identify key unknowns like commodity price swings, permitting hurdles, or supply chain issues.

A feasibility study analyzes whether the project is realistic, cost-effective, and worth pursuing by evaluating everything from engineering needs to potential roadblocks. It helps stakeholders make informed go/no-go decisions early.

Outcome

The result is a recommendation on whether to proceed, with a clear explanation of key value drivers and showstoppers. This report feeds directly into FEL-1 planning as an input to the business case or a pre-screen. By laying out markets, technical feasibility, and financial cases together, owners see if the estimated benefits justify further investment.
