Why is Project SPV-readiness not project approval?

Project SPV-readiness is not project approval because it only identifies what would need to be reviewed before a project vehicle or structure could be responsibly considered. 

Project approval requires competent authority. Depending on the matter, that may include public authorities, boards, investors, lenders, insurers, procurement bodies, regulators, legal counsel, technical reviewers, environmental and social reviewers, communities, sponsors, or future company directors. 

GRA does not replace any of those actors. 

A Project SPV-readiness docket may show that a project lacks legal structure, governance clarity, public authority alignment, revenue assumptions, insurance planning, technical evidence, procurement pathway, land rights, environmental and social safeguards, or stakeholder consent. That is not approval. It may show that the project is not ready. 

Even if the docket is well organized, it does not mean the project is financeable, bankable, insurable, investable, legally sound, procurement-ready, publicly approved, or selected for Nexus Universe. 

A safe statement is: 

Project SPV-readiness identifies questions for future review. It does not approve the project, create an SPV, authorize execution, or confirm financeability.
