How to build a feasibility report
A feasibility report is the document that turns "I think this works" into "here is why it works." This guide walks through every section — site, zoning, program, cost, revenue, returns, and risk — so your report is clear enough to make a decision and credible enough to get financed.
A real project behind every report — and the numbers that financed it.
An annotated sample report — the four callouts map to the sections every feasibility study needs.
What a defensible report does
The best reports are not the longest. They answer one question clearly, show their work, and hold up when someone pokes at the assumptions.
The eight sections of a feasibility report
Write them in order. Each builds on the last, and together they form one clean line from site to recommendation.
The metrics every report should state
A reader should find these numbers in seconds. Put them up front and define how you calculated each.
What a sensitivity table looks like
Show how the return moves when the two biggest assumptions shift. Green stays above your hurdle; amber is marginal; red fails.
