WORKFLOW · LAND SELECTION

Site decisions become an official record, not a slide deck.

From shortlist scoring to selection — the comparable trade-offs, the conditional commitments, and the regulatory triggers in one governed artefact.

DICTAMEN DECISION RECORDDDR-2026-039 · LAND DEPLOYMENT

Western Catchment — Parcel B selection

GORatified by Land Committee · 02 April 2026

Rationale: Parcel B selected over A and C on infrastructure proximity and long-form access rights, despite a 14% premium per sqm versus Parcel A.
Captured Dissent: Operations flagged grid capacity risk in the 24-month horizon. Finance preferred Parcel A on cost per sqm.
Conditions: — Confirmed grid uplift commitment
— Easement registered
— Title clean within 60 days
Review Trigger: Title check + grid commitment confirmation by Q3 2026

What it is

Land selection is the consequential decision underneath every project: which parcel, on what terms, against which alternatives. Dictamen holds the comparison logic and the rationale, not just the chosen result.

Why existing tools fall short

Site comparison spreadsheets get filtered. Email chains capture the dissent that never made the deck. The runner-up parcels and the reason they lost vanish — leaving the organisation unable to defend the choice later.

What the record captures

Five things the record carries.

01Selected site, shortlist, and the comparison rationale

02Trade-offs and dissent on the chosen parcel

03Conditional commitments tied to due diligence

04Regulatory or infrastructure triggers and their owners

05Sponsor and execution owner for handover

How this workflow looks in different organisations

Same record. Different lens.

At a developer

Phase parcels, shortlist trade-offs, and regulatory conditions held as one auditable record.

At a holding group

Land decisions across operating companies sit in one archive with consistent governance.

In healthcare

Catchment selection for a new facility carries the demand model, the access rationale, and the operational dissent.
