Power is necessary, but not sufficient

Capacity, connection timing, redundancy and augmentation requirements must be assessed with planning and delivery constraints rather than in isolation.

Build comparable evidence

Every candidate should be tested against the same criteria, evidence standard and confidence level so that gaps and trade-offs remain visible.

Shortlist before deep diligence

Broad screening should remove locations that cannot meet the mandate. Specialist studies can then focus on candidates with a plausible route to delivery.

The decision standard

The objective is not to remove all uncertainty. It is to make the customer, commercial logic, evidence, dependencies and next test visible enough for a responsible decision.
