Model capabilities
What this model includes
The profile below is generated from the same catalogue and workspace definitions used by the application.
- Feedstock streams by chemistry, with gate fees and acquisition cost netted
- Mass balance from intake tonnes to black mass, contained grades, and saleable product
- Per-product recovery rates, payability, and price escalation
- Capacity-constrained throughput with commissioning and ramp-up
- Project finance: interest-only construction period, DSRA, DSCR and LLCR cover, distribution lock-up
- IFRS-style three statements with capitalised borrowing costs, deferred tax, and a site restoration provision
- Unit economics per tonne, breakeven throughput, and avoided CO2e
- Named scenarios, goal seek, tornado, VaR/CVaR, correlated Monte Carlo, and a second-line expansion decision tree
