Economics Capstone — Decision Dashboard Case
A traceable investment briefing built across the whole workflow: volumetrics seeding the economic case, a full investment model, scenario gates applied, and a decision dashboard and one-page executive summary that a reviewer can trace back to the wellbore.

- Apply commercial gates to a probabilistic result
- State plainly what the analysis does not tell you
A short preview
The test of an investment briefing is whether a reviewer can trace any number on it back to its source. If the median NPV on the summary page cannot be followed to the volumetric inputs, and those to the petrophysical ranges and the logs, the briefing is an opinion with a chart. The capstone builds the package end to end and then checks it against a short set of review questions, including the plain one: what is this analysis not telling you?
Who it is for
Petrophysicists, geoscientists and reservoir engineers who need to connect technical work to investment decisions, and analysts new to upstream economics.
Prerequisites: None required; familiarity with volumetric estimates helps.
