Assure Lifecycle Investment Value from Design to Decommissioning

Challenge:

"We approved a project based on LCC — now it's failing to deliver."

Solution:

We align technical reality with financial promises through value-based contracting.

Case Study: Midstream Infrastructure Owner – Power Expansion Project

Redesigned the procurement strategy to ensure vendor offers were evaluated against true lifecycle cost (LCC), including reliability assumptions, maintenance burden, and operational risk exposure. This protected business value by preventing misalignment between technical specifications and actual performance.

Behind the Scenes: Technical Approach

Method

KVB-C2M® Value-Based Contracting Control Model

Tools

Fidelis RAM modeling, PDEL® for causal integration

Deliverable

Structured evaluation matrix with 96 verification points across technical, financial, and contractual dimensions

Outcome

Protected business value by preventing misalignment between specification and performance

Why This Approach Works

True Lifecycle Cost Accounting

We model not just capital expenditure, but the full operational burden including maintenance intervals, spare parts inventory, crew training requirements, and end-of-life disposal.

Contractual Risk Transfer

Through KVB-C2M®, we structure contracts that align vendor incentives with your operational outcomes — ensuring promises become performance guarantees.

96-Point Verification Framework

Every technical claim, financial assumption, and contractual obligation is verified against formal criteria — eliminating optimistic bias from vendor proposals.

Ready to Protect Your Investment Value?

Let's ensure your capital projects deliver the value they promised — from specification to operation.
