Stage 01 · Advise

    A board paper your CFO will sign, with the city already chosen.

    Before an entity exists, the questions are where, why, how much and who runs it. We answer them with the Location Intelligence data, a five-year TCO your finance team can audit, and an operating model that names the first twenty hires.

    The question this stage answers
    “Should we build in India, where, and what will it really cost?”
    Exit criterion
    Board-approved business case and city.
    Typical range
    Typically four to eight weeks
