Screening methods

A useful screening process starts with a decision, an asset identity, and the evidence needed to connect the two. These guides help you separate basic eligibility from economic attractiveness, record uncertainty, and keep a clear reason for moving forward or stopping.

Build a process you can explain.

Work through the evidence framework before comparing candidates. Define what a satisfactory answer would look like, identify who supplied each record, and mark anything that remains unverified. The objective is a decision record that another person can inspect. Revisit it when permissions, costs, ownership, or operating conditions change. A shortlist should remain open to new evidence rather than becoming a permanent endorsement.
