Three lines of business, sharing the same model library. Different revenue shapes, sales cycles, and customer expectations. The right one depends on the decision in front of you and the way your organisation builds capability.
Strategy engagements address specific decisions. Should this country invest in productive surplus pathways or export the energy as electrons? Is this asset bankable? Does our portfolio have hidden uplift? Each engagement is scoped to a deliverable, run by a senior partner, and underpinned by the same library used across every line of business.
A specific decision is pending — investment, policy commitment, project go/no-go. The decision has a deadline.
Defensible against a board, IC, cabinet, or coalition partner. Every assumption documented. Every output reproducible.
Engaging in Strategy first is the typical path to deciding whether a longer Platform commitment is right for your team.
| Sample engagement | Duration | Indicative price |
|---|---|---|
| National or regional surplus assessment | 8–16 weeks | $150K – $800K |
| Project / site feasibility | 6–12 weeks | $80K – $400K |
| Portfolio strategy | 4–10 weeks | $60K – $250K |
Pricing ranges reflect scope. A national surplus assessment for a small Pacific island differs materially from one for Australia. Scope precedes price.
Platform engagements license direct access to the model library — universal cores plus the calibrated jurisdiction instances your team needs. Used by investor analysts to screen pipeline, by government planners to stress scenarios, by grid operators to model flex-load opportunity, by researchers to publish defensible work. Stable software. Documented. API-accessible. Explicit data lineage.
Your team will use the framework on an ongoing basis — multiple decisions per year, multiple jurisdictions, or multiple sites.
Hosted access + API + documentation + dataset lineage. Universal cores included; jurisdiction instances added per contract.
Co-development on opportunities identified through the platform is a distinct engagement. No exclusivity is assumed.
| Sample engagement | Duration | Indicative price |
|---|---|---|
| Library subscription (universal cores + chosen instances) | Annual | $40K – $200K / year |
| Jurisdiction instance build (one-time + maintenance) | 12–24 wks build | $200K – $1M build + $50K – $150K / yr |
| Research / educational license (restricted use) | Annual | $10K – $60K / year |
Co-development engagements partner on specific projects through to commissioning and operations. Inari Protocol brings the framework, the structuring, and the integrated chain economics. The co-investor brings the balance sheet and primary equity. Engagements take a development fee plus carried equity, structured per project.
You have a project in mind — or a pipeline you want to develop — and need a partner with framework and structuring capability.
Most engagements begin with a pipeline review or specific opportunity rather than a generic mandate. Scoping conversation first.
Community and indigenous co-build runs on different fee and equity structure tuned for local sovereignty. See Communities.
| Engagement structure | Window | Commercial shape |
|---|---|---|
| Joint development partnership | 12–36 months to FID multi-year operating tail | 1.5–3% dev fee on capex + 5–15% carried equity |
| Community / indigenous co-build | 12–36 months to operation multi-year tail | Cost-plus dev fee + minority equity, capped |
A short matrix. If still uncertain, the scoping conversation is the right first step.
| If you... | Start with | Typical first step |
|---|---|---|
| Have a specific decision to make in the next six months | Strategy | National or regional surplus assessment, or project feasibility |
| Want your team to use the framework on an ongoing basis | Platform | Library subscription or jurisdiction instance build |
| Have a project in mind and need a partner to develop it | Co-Development | Pipeline review or specific-opportunity scoping |
| Aren't sure which | A scoping call | One hour. No deck. We propose the right product or signal that the framework isn't a fit yet. |
A scoping call is the first step regardless of line of business. An hour to understand the question, then a proposed product — or an honest signal that the framework isn't a fit yet.
A scoping call is free. The first deliverable is fixed-fee.
