Independent company · European perspective

Intelligence for consequential decisions.

Strategic analysis and decision support at the intersection of energy, capital and geopolitical change.

Current focus: energy investment decisions in Europe, with particular experience in Central and Eastern Europe.

Current focus

Two ways in.

Public analysis makes the changing European context visible. A focused review can help test the assumptions behind a specific investment decision.

Decision support

Advocatus Diaboli as a Service

In validation · pilot enquiries

An individually scoped second opinion for executives and investment teams evaluating energy or infrastructure projects in Europe. One mandate: argue against the deal. The review attacks the assumptions that carry the investment case – revenue and capture prices, grid access, delivery timing, counterparties and downside – and states which of them would have to be wrong for the case to fail.

Output: a concise decision memo, the three to five sensitivities that actually move the answer, and the conditions for proceeding, renegotiating or stopping.

A focused challenge of investment logic – not a substitute for legal, tax or technical due diligence.

About Manuel

Experience before abstraction.

I’m Manuel; I spent 16 years in the European renewable energy industry, working across the development, financing and operation of businesses in multiple markets.

Today, I’m building an independent company that combines that experience with strategic analysis and applied AI. My focus is on understanding how technological, economic and geopolitical change affects real investment decisions.

AI expands my research and execution capacity. I remain responsible for the interpretation, the recommendations and the work I put my name to.

How the work is done

A practical discipline.

Start with the decision.

Define the decision, the alternatives and the evidence needed before building another system.

Make uncertainty visible.

Separate facts, assumptions and scenarios. State what would change the conclusion.

Automate what proves useful.

Validate the value through actual use. Turn repeatable work into tools without outsourcing responsibility.
