OPTI Project Assumption Review
The OPTI Project Assumption Review is a neutral, non-prescriptive documentation review that summarizes what power, thermal, and operational assumptions are explicitly stated in existing project materials—and identifies where assumptions are unstated or ambiguous—so downstream stakeholders may interpret the project with fewer clarification cycles.
OPTI does not evaluate adequacy, propose designs, or provide approval or certification.
What OPTI Does / What OPTI Does Not Do
What OPTI Does
- —Reviews existing project documentation (concept decks, technical summaries, investor materials, planning memos)
- —Summarizes declared assumptions regarding power, thermal/cooling approach, and operations/resilience
- —Identifies undeclared or ambiguous assumptions where interpretation may diverge
- —Notes how different stakeholders (utilities, insurers, planners, investors) may read the same statements differently
- —Provides a clear scope boundary statement
What OPTI Does Not Do
- —Recommend designs or architectures
- —Judge sufficiency or adequacy
- —Assess code or standards compliance
- —Approve, certify, or endorse projects
- —Guarantee outcomes or timelines
OPTI operates strictly at the documentation and interpretation layer.
When This Review Is Typically Used
The OPTI Project Assumption Review is typically engaged during early project phases when documentation is being prepared for external stakeholders such as utilities, insurers, investors, or planning authorities. Organizations use this review to identify gaps or ambiguities in their existing materials before those materials are circulated more broadly.
