Module 1 - Kill the Bad Deal Early
Module 1 is a disciplined decision framework designed to identify fatal flaws, test assumptions, and force a clear go / no-go outcome before capital is committed.
Real Documents, Real Workflow, Real Decisions.
Why Module 1 Exists
Most bad development deals fail for reasons that are present at the start but identified too late.
Module 1 exists to interrupt momentum early. It forces legal, zoning, servicing, market, and approval assumptions to be tested before time, money and effort distort judgement.
If a site cannot pass Module 1 cleanly, it should not proceed.
Module 1 is designed to replace early-stage guesswork and reduce reliance on multiple upfront consultant engagements.
It creates a clear decision gate before legal, planning, engineering, or market fees escalate.
If Module 1 prevents just one bad site from progressing, it pays for itself many times over.

Designed to Force Decisions.
Module 1 is deliberately conservative.

The system is designed to protect capital, not confirm optimism.
