Operations & Assets strategy: What to build, where, and at what cost.
Built on
A Strategy Twin of your business and the S1 Method, with speed measured by the Compression Index.
What should this asset look like, what will it cost, and does it stand up?
A pre-feasibility blueprint shows what an energy or infrastructure asset should look like, what it will cost and whether it stands up, before you pay for full engineering. strategy1's AssetEngine sets out the system architecture, sizing, CAPEX, OPEX and schedule, with every assumption graded and sourced. Blueprint in hours, validated in days.
What to build, where, and at what cost. These 5 types turn a site file, a spend cube or an org chart into options you can compare, with the physics and the finance computed in tested code.

How we run it
Delivered by AssetEngine
Engines are named methods delivered by a strategist pod with AI agents. Humans hold the gates; AI does the heavy lifting between them.
- AI does
- Runs the engine models, generates options and red-teams each one.
- People do
- A strategist sanity-checks the assumptions.
- Output
- An option set with scenarios and failure modes.
How it is done in Operations & Assets
- System architecture, workflow, sizing, CAPEX/OPEX and schedule
- Multi-criteria scoring of land, logistics, incentives and talent
- Supplier dependency graphs
- Disruption scenarios
- Capability-to-structure mapping
- Spans and layers
- Spend analytics
- Benchmark gaps
- Savings scenarios
A blueprint is not bankable engineering. Yield simulation, grid studies, geotechnical surveys and protection design still need licensed engineers.

See how we measureHow this fails
The conditions under which this plan fails.
Every strategy ships with its strongest counter-arguments. These are the ones we check first.
Red team4 conditions under which this fails
- 01The blueprint is treated as bankable engineering. Yield simulation, grid studies, geotechnical surveys and protection design still need licensed engineers.
- 02Site data is incomplete, so sizing and cost rest on assumptions graded as model estimates.
- 03The evidence is thin. Where a figure cannot be sourced above grade C, it is shown as a model estimate, and every conclusion that rests on it carries that grade.
- 04Licensed sign-off is skipped. Financial, technical and legal conclusions need a licensed professional's signature before anyone acts on them.
- 01
Every number traceable.
Each figure links to its source, date and confidence grade (A, B or C).
- 02
Every plan red-teamed.
Each strategy ships with its strongest counter-arguments and the conditions under which it fails.
- 03
Signed where it matters.
Domain Fellows, who are chartered engineers, CAs, lawyers and sector veterans, sign the parts that carry professional liability.

Nothing written without approval.

Questions
About Asset / project blueprint
What is a pre-feasibility study?
A pre-feasibility study is an early test of whether a project is worth detailed study: its likely configuration, size, cost, schedule and main risks. strategy1 delivers it as a pre-feasibility blueprint, so developers and buyers can compare options and decide which ones deserve full feasibility and engineering work.
What do you deliver for a pre-feasibility blueprint?
You hold the pre-feasibility blueprint. Every Engine Sprint also ships a red-team report with the strongest counter-arguments, an evidence extract that gives each figure its source and date, and a decision memo signed at gate H2. We provide decision support. Licensed professionals sign technical, financial and legal conclusions.
What is the difference between pre-feasibility and feasibility?
Pre-feasibility narrows the options with early estimates; feasibility tests the chosen option in depth for financing and construction. strategy1's blueprint is pre-feasibility, not bankable engineering. Yield simulation, grid studies, geotechnical surveys and protection design still need licensed engineers before a project reaches financial close.
What goes into a solar and battery storage (BESS) pre-feasibility blueprint?
Site and load data, the system architecture and workflow, sizing of generation and storage, CAPEX and OPEX, and a build schedule, each with its assumptions graded and sourced. strategy1 computes the physics and the finance in tested code. Where site data is incomplete, the blueprint says so and marks the affected figures as model estimates.
How long does a pre-feasibility blueprint take with strategy1?
Asset / project blueprint starts as a 72-Hour Strategy Bootcamp: 3–5 days on one real problem, ending in a working strategy and a starter Strategy Twin. The full deliverable follows as an Engine Sprint of 1–3 weeks, at a fixed fee rather than hours. Fees are exclusive of GST. Your Bootcamp fee is credited to a Sprint if you continue.
