Which step of the Bankability Staircase is your project on?
Adaptation is short of bankable projects, not only of capital. Answer twelve yes-or-no questions in order and see where a resilience project stands, why it stalls, and what moves it one step further, in about five minutes.
Twelve questions, in order
Answer yes or no for one project. It stands on the last step where every answer is yes.
Your project’s step, instantly
The step your project stands on, how many questions block the next one, and the priority move.
Recommendations by email
An action for every blocking question, the revenue-model menu and risk-allocation matrix matched to your step, and a recommended starting point.

From need to project: is every answer yes?
Answer for one project. A project stands on the last step where every answer is yes; run the diagnostic again for each project in a pipeline.
Is the intervention technically specified (what, where, by whom)?
Is there a cost estimate with contingency?
Is a sponsor with the mandate to deliver it identified and committed?
From project to revenue: is every answer yes?
Is the value created quantified (avoided losses, protected assets, service benefits)?
Is at least one mechanism identified that turns that value into cash flow?
Is the paying party identified and able to pay over the asset’s life?
From revenue to allocated risk: is every answer yes?
Are construction, demand, political and climate-performance risks each assigned to a named holder?
Are risks no one can hold commercially covered by credit enhancement or insurance?
Do sponsor, lenders and risk-takers agree the allocation in a term sheet?
From structure to bankable asset: is every answer yes?
Can an investment committee diligence the structure with standard documentation?
Do ticket size and tenor fit identified investor mandates?
Could a second transaction reuse most of the first one’s structure and documents?

Book a callWhat the Bankability Staircase adds to the standards you already follow
- The joint MDB methodology for tracking adaptation finance defines what counts and how to evidence the climate-vulnerability link; Steps 1–2 test that the resilience rationale is documented.
- The Climate Bonds Resilience Taxonomy and the EU Taxonomy adaptation objective set eligibility criteria; the check is folded into project specification.
- NGFS work on adaptation (2024, 2025) frames adaptation’s role in financial resilience for banks and insurers, not only public funders.
- Project-preparation and blended-finance practice (e.g., GCA, Convergence) defines preparation stages and de-risking instruments; the staircase adds a step-by-step diagnostic and an instrument menu for each stall point.
