The numbers and the plan, before the money moves

Feasibility studies, competitor studies and business plans that end in an explicit verdict — feasible, conditionally feasible, or reframe — built on labelled assumptions, scenario financials, graded regulatory risk and a phase-gated plan, in full English and Arabic editions.

Who it is for For founders validating a new venture before committing capital, investors and family businesses weighing a new business line, and operators comparing supplier quotes, budgets and AI-product economics.

01What you get

From a labelled assumption to an explicit verdict

Open a row to see what is inside it. Every figure in a sample sheet is invented; nothing here is drawn from a client engagement.

  1. D-01

    Feasibility study

    A clear go, no-go or reframe decision before capital is committed — honest about what already exists, what is legally risky, and what still needs first-hand validation.

    What is inside
    • An executive summary with a one-line verdict and the single most important finding first
    • A seven-dimension scorecard — market need, size, competition, differentiation, regulatory, technical, financial — each rated with a reason
    • Market sizing (TAM, SAM, SOM) with every input labelled so it can be challenged
    • Competitive landscape and positioning, plus technical feasibility with a reference architecture
    • Regulatory and legal feasibility that grades each revenue idea by risk and defers the risky ones
    • A three-year forecast built from driver tables, in conservative, base and optimistic scenarios
    • Cost to launch and break-even, with the sensitivity drivers named
    • A phased go-to-market, a risk register, a phase-gated roadmap, and sourced public references

  2. D-02

    Competitor study

    Turns "is anyone else doing this?" into a defensible positioning argument, anchored to real pricing and market reference points.

    What is inside
    • Key takeaways first, then the landscape grouped by business-model type — including indirect forces such as government platforms and informal channels
    • A profile card per competitor: model, pricing, scale, strengths, weaknesses and threat level
    • A feature matrix (yes, partly, no) against the proposed product, with the empty rows read as open space
    • A two-axis positioning map with the empty quadrant marked, and a pricing benchmark
    • SWOT for the most relevant players, and recurring customer complaints mapped to a design response
    • Where we win, a threat summary, and sources with figures marked as directional

    • The working method: small reviewed changes, AI-written tests, feature flags, and checkpoints on sign-in, payments and personal data
    • A week-by-week plan, and the costs that do not disappear — legal, cloud, store fees, security review
    • Its own risk register, and the effect on the study’s cost and break-even

02How it runs

A verdict you can defend, not a guess dressed up

The same six steps behind every study. Each one leaves something you can read, challenge or replace.

  1. Research from public sources

    Regulators, government portals, press, company sites and industry benchmarks, each cited with the month consulted; scale and price figures flagged as directional.

    Cited findings
  2. Model it on labelled assumptions

    Every input sits in a driver table you can replace with your own data — conservative, base and optimistic scenarios, never a single prediction.

    Scenario financials
  3. Grade the regulatory risk

    Legal and licensing limits identified early; each revenue idea graded by risk, and the risky ones placed behind a later, gated phase.

    Risk-graded revenue model
  4. Reach an explicit verdict

    Feasible, conditionally feasible, or reframe — with next steps and a validation phase, such as interviews, a survey or a landing-page test, before build money is spent.

    Feasibility study
  5. Plan the build, in phases

    A phase-gated roadmap with a measurable exit gate at every phase, so the larger investment waits on a stop-or-pivot point.

    Phased roadmap
  6. Deliver bilingual, and version openly

    Full parallel English and Arabic editions, written for their reader rather than translated; a revised edition says what changed, and the one it replaces is withdrawn.

    English and Arabic editions
03What sets the work apart

Candour you can act on

What a board or a technical reviewer sees on the first read.

  • Candour as a feature

    A study can say the idea is only partly original, name live competitors, and call the original framing the riskiest version before proposing a stronger one.

  • Business plan and build plan in one pack

    Two costed ways to build it — a hired team, or a founder with AI agents — and the effect of each on break-even.

  • Regulatory risk tied to the revenue model

    Each money-making idea graded by legal risk, with the high-risk ones gated behind legal clearance rather than left for later.

  • True bilingual delivery

    Full Arabic editions of every major document, in the Arabic register chosen for the reader, not a translation pass.

  • Forensic reading of quotes

    Rebuilding a supplier’s arithmetic can move the verdict in either direction, with the conditions for the reply spelled out.

  • Honest about data limits

    Exact figures kept apart from estimates, verified sources from unconfirmed ones, and "not enough public data" stated instead of invented.

07Questions decision-makers ask

Before you commit

Straight answers to what a board or a technical reviewer asks first.

Will you tell us if the idea is not viable?

Yes. Every study ends in an explicit verdict: feasible, conditionally feasible, or reframe. We name existing competitors and regulatory limits plainly, and if a stronger version of the idea exists, we recommend it.

Are the financial projections certain to come true?

No. They are scenario models — conservative, base and optimistic — built on assumptions labelled one by one, so you can challenge or replace any input. We also plan the first-hand validation that turns those assumptions into evidence before you spend.

Do you give legal or licensed financial advice?

No. We map the regulatory landscape and grade each revenue idea by legal risk, then list exactly which questions a licensed lawyer or adviser must confirm before launch.

Can we get the study in Arabic?

Yes. Major documents come as full parallel English and Arabic editions, in Word and PDF, with right-to-left layout checked — not summaries, and not machine translations.

Can you also plan or build the product?

Yes. For software ventures, the study can come with a development roadmap: architecture, technology choices, a phase-gated plan, team options, and a cost estimate, plus a leaner AI-assisted alternative.

Can you review a supplier quote before we sign?

Yes. We re-check the quote’s arithmetic, benchmark it against the market and the alternatives, list hidden costs and unpriced items, and give a verdict with the exact conditions to put in your reply.

How do you avoid basing this on guesswork?

Every input sits in a labelled driver table you can replace with your own data, and we re-derive other people’s arithmetic before accepting it. Key figures are triangulated by independent methods and shown converging, with honest good-case and bad-case ranges.

Who sees our numbers, and does any of this become public?

No one but you. We do not publish a client’s figures, name their venture, or describe the sector or market behind a study. Nothing from a client engagement appears on this site.

08Scope and confidentiality

Who it is for, and in what form

  • Founders and entrepreneurs validating a platform, SaaS, marketplace or app idea before committing capital
  • Private investors and family businesses weighing a new business line — how much to invest, and how to structure a partner
  • SMEs and service firms facing a new regulatory mandate who need to understand their exposure and the opportunity
  • Organisers and operators comparing venues, supplier quotes, platform fees, budgets and capacity
  • Companies planning an AI-powered product that need pricing, usage caps and unit economics before launch
  • Arabic-first decision-makers in the Gulf who need board-ready documents in Arabic as well as English

Major studies ship as full parallel English and Arabic editions, each written for its reader rather than translated; several of the shorter documents are delivered in Arabic, with an English edition on request.

Word and PDF for full studies and reviews, HTML for the one-page analyses, and Markdown alongside PDF for the product development plan.

Client work stays confidential. We do not publish client documents or name clients without their permission.
