Diligence
Diligence built for capital, not credits.
A structured assessment scored across 7 dimensions, focused on financeability and calibrated against the market, so you get a consistent, comparable read on the metrics that determine whether a deal gets done.
Confidence in execution
Stress-tested in real execution scenarios, with proven results.
Every Kumo assessment combines data-backed diligence with expert-led analysis, so financiers can consider and mitigate the risks that actually matter, and pass a credit committee with confidence.
Project-level risk framework
Answering the questions capital asks.
Kumo assesses a project the way a lender underwrites project finance, covering the questions a capital provider actually asks: will it deliver on contract, and will the cash flows service the debt?
Every project is scored across seven dimensions, each benchmarked against the market, so you get a consistent, comparable read, not a one-off report commissioned per deal.
Assessed against
- Credit Delivery Risk
- Cash Flow & Financial Risk
- Feedstock & Supply Chain
- Counterparty & Developer
- Regulatory & Permitting
- Contract Risk
- Risk Mitigation
Financial structure and legal assessment
Considers structural and contractual mitigants.
Kumo's assessment doesn't stop at the project, it looks at the whole transaction. Whether you finance against offtakes or assets, Kumo flags the risks that the structure and contracts cover, and, just as importantly, the ones they do not: who bears each risk, the cash-flow waterfall and seniority, and the pitfalls that have stalled prior deals.
Where insurance mitigants have de-risked past deals, we flag those too.
Benchmarked against data
Enhanced by the largest financial performance dataset in carbon.
Baked into every report is the Terminal data overlay: a standardized comparison across three years of collection. Each metric, cost, revenue, or operations, is read against the largest dataset available, so every outlier that warrants a closer look is flagged.
It is also why an early-stage project with no track record can still be underwritten, against what comparable projects actually delivered.
The Terminal
Run your own diligence against benchmarked data, in the Terminal.
Every assessment references the same data you can explore yourself.
