Methodology

Reviewed North Carolina evidence and EVS decision controls. Sourced facts, assumptions, unknowns and release conditions remain explicitly separated.

Methodology

1—Source hierarchy
Method
Prefer North Carolina/federal agencies, Census and primary commercial location pages.
Control
Publication/access dates recorded; authoritative industry used for S&P-derived market data.
2—Definition control
Method
Keep rounded DOE 2025 and exact Alliance/S&P 2024 series distinct.
Control
No averaging or pseudo-history; cross-provider/time difference is not exact growth.
3—Scenario sizing
Method
Apply 5%/10%/15% annual growth to exact 2024 anchor for six years to 2030.
Control
Sensitivity, not official forecast.
4—TAM/SAM/SOM
Method
TAM sourced; service-window, independent consideration and reach are explicit EVS assumptions.
Control
Verified SAM unquantified; executable SOM zero.
5—Economics
Method
Jobs × ARO; gross profit less fixed opex; capex divided by positive EBITDA.
Control
Nominal USD, pre-tax, unlevered, incentive-free.
6—Geography
Method
Use 2024 congressional-district S&P registrations as concentration proxies.
Control
Districts are not drive-time catchments.
7—Regulatory review
Method
Current North Carolina code/agency pages and federal controls.
Control
Counsel/agency confirmation for exact entity/site/task.
8—Decision gates
Method
Convert unknowns into binary release conditions.
Control
Conditional go is not lease or franchise authority.
