Build an evidence-based opportunity case

Define the customer, procurement pathway, required approvals, workforce, premises, equipment and delivery economics. Use current official data and speak with customers and supply-chain participants before committing capital. A regional strategy identifies direction; it does not guarantee demand, funding or a contract.
