While it focuses on electricity projects, its insights can be applied across various sectors. It employs a P&L statement as a framework for approaching deals, with CFADS at its core. It introduces fundamental building blocks to ensure CFADS remains predictable, mechanisms to safeguard its predictability, warning signals for material deviations, and a system of incentives and penalties to manage potential disruptions—all within the structure of a P&L statement.
