From Project Intake to
Deal Rooms

A step-by-step walkthrough of AIP's end-to-end infrastructure investment platform — see exactly how we transform raw project concepts into investment-grade, capital-ready opportunities.

Phase 1 · Input
Project Intake & Registration
Structured submission for any project stage

Project sponsors, governments, and developers submit their infrastructure concepts through a guided intake form. AIP's platform accepts projects at any stage — from pre-feasibility concepts to shovel-ready assets — and immediately begins standardising the data for AI analysis.

Guided structured submission form across 40+ data fields
Document upload: feasibility studies, permits, land title, PPAs
Sector classification & automatic pipeline tagging
Secure sponsor profile creation and verification

Phase 2 · AI Process
AI-Powered Initial Screening
Risk-adjusted filtering in minutes, not months

Within minutes of submission, AIP's AI engine performs an initial viability screening — cross-referencing the project against sector benchmarks, country risk profiles, regulatory databases, and comparable transactions. Projects receive an initial AIP Level score from L1 (concept) to L4 (bankable).

Automated cross-referencing with 10,000+ comparable transactions
Country risk overlay: political, regulatory, currency, security
Preliminary AIP Level assignment (L1–L4) with justification
Red-flag detection: ownership conflicts, permit gaps, market risk

Phase 3 · PETFEL Engine
PETFEL Due Diligence
Six-dimension institutional-grade assessment

AIP's proprietary PETFEL framework scores projects across six critical dimensions — Political, Economic, Technical, Financial, Environmental, and Legal. Each dimension is verified by both AI workflows and a human analyst overlay, producing an audit-ready due diligence report used by DFIs, pension funds, and sovereign wealth funds.

P — Political: governance stability, regulatory framework, government support
E — Economic: macro-fiscal context, affordability, market demand
T — Technical: feasibility, engineering readiness, procurement status
F — Financial: model bankability, IRR, offtake risk, blended finance potential
E — Environmental: ESG compliance, climate risk, community impact
L — Legal: title clarity, concession validity, permit completeness

Connecting verified projects with the right capital
