The product

How Megawatt IQ thinks.

A weighted knowledge base, a deterministic risk engine and global overlays — designed so a deal earns confidence by closing the right things at the right time.

The methodology

Two dimensions, not one.

Every diligence item carries an intrinsic importance and a due-by phase gate. An item's effective severity escalates the longer it stays unresolved past the gate where it should have been locked — so a low-importance point ignored too long can outrank a high one that isn't due yet.

Dimension 1

Intrinsic importance

How much the item matters to the deal, 1–5. Four and above is critical.

Dimension 2

Due-by phase gate

How front-loaded it is. Lateness against the gate compounds the flag.

The flow

From teaser to decision.

Four steps. Everything recomputes live as you work.

01

Create the project

Set market tier, stage, current development phase and megawatts. The brain tunes its weighting and surfaces only the questions that apply to the jurisdiction and deal type.

02

Work the questionnaire

Answer across 20 workstreams — land and permitting through power, construction, tenants, legal, financing, jurisdiction and force-majeure. Drop in decks, IMs and term sheets; they stay local.

03

Watch the engine

The RAG heatmap, DD confidence score, lacuna detector, red-flag register and phase-readiness view recompute on every answer — and as you advance the phase.

04

Export & ask

Auto-build a tailored diligence questionnaire for the open critical gaps, and a clean printable risk report. Soup to nuts, in one click.

The risk engine

Six instruments, one deterministic read.

No black box. Every score traces back to a weighted answer and a gate.

RAG heatmap

All 20 workstreams scored red, amber or green — red on any high flag or two critical gaps; green only when complete and clean.

DD confidence score

0–100: weighted completeness, less flag penalty, less lateness penalty. Projects start red and earn green.

Lacuna detector

Isolates the open critical questions — the gaps a sharp analyst would challenge before recommending.

Red-flag register

Built-in conditions fire automatically: indicative-only power offers, unsigned ESAs, queue position, FX risk.

Phase-readiness

A front-loading view — on-gate, due-now, or carrying overdue blockers as the project advances.

Customize the brain

Edit any question's text, weight and gate; disable items; add your own; apply deal-type profiles. All changes flow through scoring.

Global coverage

A country layer with the real local rules.

Type the jurisdiction and Megawatt IQ lights up the named grid operator and connection process, the permitting regime, water law, FDI screening statute, data-localization rules, incentive program and financing conventions — across 40+ countries and 12 market tiers.

Optional AI analysis

Read the deck. Flag the risk.

Add a Claude API key and the app reads an uploaded document, auto-fills the answers it can evidence, and flags the risks and gaps a sharp analyst would challenge. AI answers are tagged and never overwrite your manual input. The key lives in your browser and is sent only to Anthropic.
