Printing tips

  • Print at actual size (100%), not "fit to page", so the lines stay a usable size.
  • It is laid out for US Letter paper and also fits A4.
  • Turn on "background graphics" if the colors come out pale.

What is on this worksheet

Gates first: control, risk, fit, economics. Then score each factor 1 to 5.

Score = (Name x 0.30 + Demand x 0.25 + Fit x 0.20 + Equity x 0.10 + (6 - Risk) x 0.15) / 5 x 100. 70 and up: build or sell at a premium. 50 to 69: list for sale. Under 50: drop unless it fits a project. Re-run 90 days before each renewal.
