Portfolio economist
One calculation across the deal, splitting spend you are already obliged to make from spend that is a choice.
Tools: cashflow
Diligence inside a deal window: a full decarbonization engagement for every building in the portfolio, rolled into one bid-decision report. To fit the window, you make each decision once for a representative building and the rest of that type inherits it. Every building stays in the report; missing data lowers confidence, it never removes a building.
The expert decides twice, once per building type rather than once per building: first on the representative buildings, then on any building that turns out not to fit its group.
| Step | Expert | Lead agent | Knowledge check | Per-building engagements | Portfolio economist | Report writer | Quality reviewer |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Kickoff | Share the report date, the data room, and your underwriting basis. | Reconciles the data room against the deal sheet. | |||||
| 2. Data room | Resolve any folder we cannot match to a building. | Sets up each building. | Checks what we already know about each jurisdiction in the deal. | ||||
| 3. Grouping | Groups the portfolio and picks one building to stand for each type. | ||||||
| 4. First wave | Runs the representative buildings first. | A full decarbonization engagement per representative building. | |||||
| 5. Expert decisions | One set of decisions per building type. | Applies the expert's decisions across each group. | |||||
| 6. Second wave | Settle any building that does not fit its group. | Runs the rest on those decisions. | Fits the approved group, or comes back to you. | ||||
| 7. Economics and review | Splits required spend from discretionary. | Required spend against discretionary, across the deal. | Recalculation, plus an audit that every decision traces to you. | ||||
| 8. Bid report | Receive the bid-decision report. | Renders and writes headline figures back to each building. | Bid-decision report; names the source of any inherited decision. |
Each one has a single job. They work from shared files, hand back what they found, and never speak to you directly. Everything comes back through the lead agent.

The bid-decision report. Where a decision was inherited, it says so and names the building it came from.

Plus the full decarbonization roster (surveyor, modeller, carbon, measures, economics, writer and reviewer) running once for every building in the deal.
The lead agent never improvises. Each of these is decided the same way every time.
If Something cannot be assessed: Lower the confidence and say what is unknown
If not Never drop the building
If Time remains before the report date: Chase the data room
If not Carry it as a stated assumption
If It differs from the representative you approved: It comes back to you
If not Never quietly reshaped to fit
