This is a sample case study for layout review. It does not describe a real client or project.

01 · Context

The challenge

The client needed to narrow a large search area to a defensible shortlist of solar zones within a single budget cycle, while avoiding sensitive habitats and productive farmland.

02 · Method

Our approach

  1. Assembled resource, terrain, land-use, habitat and grid layers into a single spatial model

  2. Agreed weighted criteria with the client and stakeholders in two workshops

  3. Ran sensitivity scenarios to test how rankings changed with different weightings

03 · Results

Outcomes

  • Search area reduced to a small set of priority zones
  • Transparent scoring accepted by the client's investment committee
  • Reusable model handed over for future updates
