Framework
Main Branch
Are the financial returns attractive relative to fossil fuel portfolio?
Level 1
What is the true levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) including integration risk?
Level 2
Solar LCOE: $25–35/MWh (down 85% since 2010)
Level 2
Onshore wind: $35–45/MWh (down 70% since 2015)
Level 2
Grid integration & storage costs add $15–20/MWh
Level 1
What are the revenue risks as fossil fuel demand declines?
Level 2
Oil demand growth flattening: +0.5% CAGR vs. +2% historically
Level 2
Long-term oil price assumptions dropping: $60–80/bbl (was $100+)
Main Branch
Can we execute renewable builds at scale while managing technical risk?
Level 1
Do we have supply chain capacity to deploy 50GW by 2035?
Level 2
Global panel production: 500GW/yr capacity (sufficient)
Level 2
Skilled labor shortage in turbine installation across EU/US
Level 1
Battery storage economics viable at grid scale?
Level 2
Li-ion battery cost: $130–150/kWh (down 90% since 2010)
Level 2
8–10 year cycle = ~15–20 cycles before replacement
Main Branch
Will fossil fuel companies dominate the renewables transition or face disruption?
Level 1
What competitive advantage do incumbent oil majors have?
Level 2
Capital access: can raise $10B+/yr at 4–5% cost of capital
Level 2
Land access: own or control land for solar/wind in key regions
Level 2
Grid expertise & transmission assets from oil/gas infrastructure
Level 1
Threat from pure-play renewables (NextEra, Ørsted) or tech entrants?
Level 2
NextEra Energy (150GW renewable capacity) growing 12% CAGR
Level 2
Autonomous vehicle batteries + grid storage create new demand vectors
Main Branch
Can we navigate regulatory and geopolitical headwinds?
Level 1
Will carbon taxes or bans on oil/gas accelerate faster than expected?
Level 2
EU carbon border adjustment: €80–140/ton CO2 by 2030
Level 2
Unilateral oil bans unlikely but LNG demand shifting: -2% annually
Level 1
Geopolitical risk: energy nationalism and supply chain fragmentation?
Level 2
Critical minerals (lithium, cobalt) concentrated in 3 countries: 60% supply
Level 2
US Inflation Reduction Act creates renewable subsidy arms race

Sharpen Your Judgment
Get pressure-tested on which problems matter, which questions to ask, and how to prioritize
The project NPV is positive at $55/barrel — we should approve the investment.
Thinking
AssessThe candidate is using a single point estimate for the oil price and ignoring the structural demand risk over the asset's 25-year life. For a long-lived oil asset, transition scenario analysis is now a fiduciary requirement, not just a sensitivity.
LocateThe core gap is scenario-weighted analysis. A deepwater asset with a 25-year life must be stress-tested under the IEA NZE scenario where oil demand falls sharply after 2030. The single-scenario NPV is insufficient.
DecideSurface the transition scenario demand risk and ask for a scenario-weighted NPV. This reframes the investment decision from 'does the math work' to 'are we comfortable with the probability-weighted outcome.'
The NPV arithmetic works today, but this asset will still be producing in 2049. Have you stress-tested the cashflows under an energy transition scenario where demand falls 25% from current levels by 2035?
