ESCO03: Two-Lane Sequencing Map

The most common way an ESCO-led C-PACE deal goes sideways is sequencing: firms run their normal performance contracting process, reach the point where they would ordinarily arrange financing, and discover the financing track needed to start months earlier. The map runs both lanes in parallel from week zero, with four dependencies that actually bind — and one structural point worth saying out loud, that you are not a party to the assessment, so a savings shortfall triggers your remedy with the owner and does not offset the assessment at all. Includes the owner document request list to hand over on day one, a requisition package to assign on closing day, and a fully worked bundling example on a 210,000 square foot office property that demonstrates why the twenty-year cap binds before useful life does and why simple payback is the wrong metric here.
