End value falls ____ %Works cost rises ____ %Extra delay / holding buffer $________Stressed end value $________Stressed total cost $________Safety gap $________

4 · Flag what could break it

End value lacks recent comparable evidence Works cost lacks a current written quote Holding and delay cost looks too light Finance has not been checked Rent or demand is assumed Approval or building risk is unclear Exit relies on one outcome The deal works only if nothing goes wrong

5 · Make the first-pass call

STOP

Stressed costs meet/exceed value, or new evidence must materially change the deal.

CHECK MORE

The numbers stay positive, but one important input is still an estimate or unknown.

KEEP GOING

Main inputs are supported and the stressed gap stays positive. Continue due diligence—this is not a buy decision.
