Practitioner templates

For: Developer / sponsor finance team and lender advisors, at the screening stage.

What it is: Live-formula workbook mirroring the guide's unit-tested finance engine: construction draws with capitalized IDC, revenue ramp, cash taxes net of depreciation and interest shields, sustaining capex, DSRA, true DSCR (CFADS ÷ debt service), project & equity IRR, NPV, MOIC. Inputs in $M / % p.a. / years.

Worked example: Reference case (~100 MW-class campus, $1.0B program) fully worked; an engine-check column shows the tested engine's values so formula drift is visible immediately.

For: Siting / development team screening candidate sites before diligence spend.

What it is: Kill gates first (power path, interconnection/permitting, water, fatal-flaw hazards, land control — with the documentary evidence each requires), then the weighted scorecard used by the site calculator, then the pre-FID diligence checklist by domain with owner and status fields.

Worked example: A reference site is scored end to end (63.5/100 — workable with mitigation) alongside blank columns for your site.

For: Commissioning agent and the owner's project team (L1 factory witness → L5 IST → operations).

What it is: The controlled register of every commissioning discrepancy — level, system, severity (A–D), root cause, resolution, retest evidence, two-party sign-off — with dropdown validation and a levels/severity legend. Paired with the procedure-library skeleton: the nine required sections of every MOP/SOP/EOP, backout-plan rules, and EOP-specific requirements.

Worked example: Three worked issue rows (UPS step-load trip, CDU flow shortfall, EPMS load-shed timing) and a complete worked MOP: UPS system A to maintenance bypass, 10 steps with expected indications and a backout decision point.

For: Owner's engineer / design lead, fixed before schematic design.

What it is: Every load-bearing design decision as value + basis + consequence accepted: site environment, capacity and density band, electrical single-line assumptions (topology, concurrent-maintainability boundary, UPS autonomy, transient mitigation), cooling architecture (temperature class, CDU approach, ride-through), and per-system redundancy declarations with fault domains.

Worked example: Filled with the guide's reference design — a ~100 MW GB200 NVL72-class DLC campus, Tier III-class topology — as a calibration example beside your blank column.

For: Reliability engineer / owner's engineer, at 60–90% design and before IST.

What it is: Failure-modes register with the standard S×O×D scoring, computed RPN column, review thresholds (RPN ≥ 120, any S ≥ 9), and pinned 1–10 rating anchors so scores are comparable across reviewers.

Worked example: Three worked modes for a liquid-cooled AI hall: CDU pump seal leak, UPS capacitor end-of-life, cooling-controls sensor drift (the silent-margin-erosion case).
