A useful way to think about a large decision is to remove the marketing noise and return to a few simple questions. What follows is not a recipe; it is a framework for a calmer conversation.
01
Who legally owns the asset and where does the investor sit in the capital structure?
02
What must happen operationally for the expected result to be achieved?
03
Which assumptions are under management control and which depend on markets, refinancing or future buyers?
04
How is the asset valued between transactions, and who verifies those marks?
05
What rights exist if performance deteriorates: information, voting, covenants, collateral or redemption?
