We test whether a project's numbers hold before capital is committed.
Torus Solutions is an independent advisory firm. We work for sponsors, operators, and investors on energy, infrastructure, and logistics projects in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and North America.
Findings from recent engagements
View all engagementsLNG to power
The rebuild surfaced a material variance between the published total investment cost and the figure the model itself produced, which was reconciled and documented before it reached lenders.
Cargo airline
Review of the earlier model identified a double-counted revenue line and a break-even test that could not fail as it had been specified.
Data center land diligence
The only capital raise on the public record that could be traced to the developer came to less than one percent of its own published first phase requirement. At the site, water rather than power was the binding constraint.
Refinery feedstock
The brief assumed sulfur would limit the program. The blend arithmetic showed the sulfur cap was not binding. Density, iron content and the largest vessel the terminal could receive were.
Independent model review
Findings have included EBITDA misstated by the inclusion of debt service, covenant and break-even tests written with mismatched units so that they could not fail, revenue and capital cost counted twice across linked schedules, and delivery timelines inconsistent with the published regulatory record.
Decisions where a wrong assumption is expensive.
Our clients are deciding on power and LNG projects, freight and aviation networks, industrial and processing plant, and the corporate structures that hold them. In each, an assumption that turns out wrong is costly and hard to undo.
Engagements run from early feasibility to the last review before commitment. We build or rebuild the model, test the assumptions underneath it, and write down what the answer depends on.

Global Trade Monitor
A working demonstration of the analytical systems we build. Simulated vessels and freighters move on real routes between real ports and airports, and the monitor measures chokepoint transits, port and hub activity, and cargo flows from their position reports as the traffic moves.
Every engagement starts with the same question.
What needs to be true for this to work, and what happens if it isn't?
Each deliverable records what was assumed, how far each assumption can move before the answer changes, and the working model behind it.
