The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Determine whether to invest in a solar farm now, delay, or abandon, given uncertainty in electricity prices and subsidy policies.
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply real options theory to value managerial flexibility under uncertainty
- Model stochastic processes (e.g., geometric Brownian motion) for key variables
- Use Monte Carlo simulation to estimate probability distributions of project value
- Compare traditional DCF with real options valuation and interpret differences
