Methodology

Methodology
- 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.
- 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.
- Method
- Apply 5%/10%/15% annual growth to exact 2024 anchor for six years to 2030.
- Control
- Sensitivity, not official forecast.
- Method
- TAM sourced; service-window, independent consideration and reach are explicit EVS assumptions.
- Control
- Verified SAM unquantified; executable SOM zero.
- Method
- Jobs × ARO; gross profit less fixed opex; capex divided by positive EBITDA.
- Control
- Nominal USD, pre-tax, unlevered, incentive-free.
- Method
- Use 2024 congressional-district S&P registrations as concentration proxies.
- Control
- Districts are not drive-time catchments.
- Method
- Current North Carolina code/agency pages and federal controls.
- Control
- Counsel/agency confirmation for exact entity/site/task.
- Method
- Convert unknowns into binary release conditions.
- Control
- Conditional go is not lease or franchise authority.
