Lion Strategy

For boards & sovereign institutions

What scale does
the evidence support?

Independent assessment of major investments, economic programmes and big capital projects - built to stand up to governance and audit - and to stay yours, working, long after the engagement ends.

The institutional risk

The wrong asset, at the wrong scale, against the wrong demand.

Prestige, committed stakeholders and inherited forecasts can turn momentum into a substitute for evidence. Lion rebuilds demand independently of the proposal and makes opportunity cost explicit.

Demand rebuilt 4 sources

The city’s population rebuilt by nationality, gender and age before one dollar was allocated.

Capital phased c.US$1bn

The full asset mix sequenced around yield and opportunity cost, not the prestige hierarchy.

Capital moved 9-figure

From 15,000 unsupported seats into offices and assets that could fund the institution.

What the file answers

A decision that can survive the room.

What demand exists independently of the proposed project?

What utilisation and capacity are realistic?

Which components create commercial and strategic value?

How should capital be sequenced across time and assets?

What fails under lower price, volume or adoption?

What should be built first, later - or not at all?

Selected institutional work

From the hectare to the national economy.
