A feasibility study should test one continuous logic: whether demand exists, the project can be delivered technically, the required resources are available and the selected configuration produces an acceptable financial outcome.
There is no universal template for every project. Scope depends on sector, scale, stage and recipient requirements, but the core sections must remain consistent.
Document logic
The executive summary states product, capacity, site, budget, timing and funding. The market section supports price and utilisation, the technical section supports capacity and resources, and the financial section translates both into investment, cash flow and returns.
Core study sections
Summary and context
Objective, sponsor, selected solution and headline indicators.
Market and sales
Segments, demand, competition, pricing, channels and evidence.
Technology and infrastructure
Process, capacity, equipment, inputs, site, utilities and people.
Delivery and organisation
Team, contractors, permits, schedule and control points.
Finance and risk
CAPEX, OPEX, funding, statements, returns and scenarios.
Consistency checks
Capacity must be identical in the technical design, sales plan, raw-material needs and model. CAPEX must match quotations and schedule. Launch timing must drive interest, working capital and revenue start.
Structure checklist
- recipient and decision objective are defined;
- market, pricing and utilisation are supported;
- technology, site and utilities are described;
- CAPEX and schedule have evidence;
- the model agrees with the narrative;
- alternatives, risks and a feasibility conclusion are included.
FAQ
Can a standard template be used?
A template helps with coverage, but depth and evidence must be adapted to the project and recipient.
Must alternatives be compared?
Yes when technology, site, capacity or financing structure is still being selected.
What belongs in the summary?
Objective, product, capacity, site, budget, funding, timing, returns, key risks and the conclusion.
Official sources and requirement checks
Requirements vary by project type and document recipient. Before work starts, confirm the current checklist with the lender, investor, zone management company or public authority.
