How SiteKillSwitch Works.
SiteKillSwitch is a modular decision system designed to expose risk early and force clear, evidence-based outcomes before capital is committed.
Designed to Interrupt Momentum.
Most development deals fail because early assumptions are never properly tested. Once time, money, and effort are invested, walking away becomes difficult - even when warning signs are present.
SiteKillSwitch is designed to interrupt that momentum. It creates a structured pause point where evidence, not effort, determines whether a site proceeds.
The system is deliberately conservative. It primary function is not to advance deals, but to stop the wrong ones.
A Modular System.
SiteKillSwitch is organized into modules, each focused on a specific phase of early-stage decision-making.
Modules can be used individually, but are designed to work together. Each module builds on the outputs of the previous one, increasing confidence as complexity and capital exposure increase.
Module 1 is the foundation.
How Module 1 Works.
Module 1 follows a simple but disciplined sequence:
Start Here
Understand how the system works and how decisions are locked.
Complete the Checklist
Identify all relevant legal, servicing, market, and approval inputs.
Analyze the Evidence
Apply weighted decision logic and evidence confidence.
Get the Decision Report
Produce a formal, defensible outcome.
Each step feeds the next. No step can be skipped without weakening the result.
How Decisions are Locked.
SiteKillSwitch removed ambiguity by applying explicit decision rules:
Fatal Flaws
Any critical item marked as a no-go results in an automatic no-go decision.
Major Risks
Multiple unresolved risks trigger a requirement to reprice or restructure.
Tier-1 locks
Certain items cannot achieve a “go” without verified or professional evidence.
Confidence Gating
Weak or assumed inputs reduce confidence and automatically downgrade outcomes.
These rules are enforced by the decision engine, not by judgement calls.
What the System Produces.
Each completed module produces a clear, documented outcome.
For Module 1, this includes:
A final site decision
A confidence score reflecting evidence strength
Identified fatal flaws or conditions
A one-page decision report suitable for partners or lenders
The output is designed to be defensible, repeatable, and auditable.
Built to Scale with Risk.
As projects increase in complexity, additional modules introduce deeper analysis without changing the underlying decision framework.
Later modules address:
Density and yield realism
Servicing and infrastructure constraints
Cost and feasibility risk
Execution and delivery risk
Each module increases certainty - or reveals reasons to stop.
Start with Module 1.
Module 1 establishes the decision discipline required for the rest of the system. It can be used on its own or as the foundation for future modules.
