PHC Consortium: 7-Day Review Snapshot
Purpose:
To rapidly determine whether a proposed project is viable, investable, and context-appropriate in emerging economy settings.
What Is the 7-Day PHC Review?
A tightly focused diagnostic engagement that uses PHC methods to assess a project’s viability before significant resources are committed. It delivers structured insight into whether a project can work as-is, should be adapted, or is fundamentally misaligned with its context.
Ideal Use Case:
- Early-stage or proposed projects in healthcare, infrastructure, mobility, energy, or fintech
- Projects intended for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)
- Donors, investors, or founders seeking risk-grounded clarity before full-scale commitment
What Happens in 7 Days?
PHC analysts work with the project team and local context experts to:
- Define a Prime Concern – the core viability issue that could block success
- Map Key Dependencies – infrastructure, access, clinical integration, regulation
- Simulate Uptake Scenarios – affordability, trust, demand modeling
- Stress-Test Monetization Models – market segments, payment systems, sustainability
- Evaluate Strategic Fit – with national goals, policy frameworks, and local systems
Each day focuses on a dimension of risk and feasibility, with daily checkpoints and a concluding synthesis.
Deliverables:
- Prime Concern Snapshot
- Risk and Opportunity Map
- Actionable Viability Verdict (Go / Adapt / Hold / Redirect)
- Recommendations for next-stage planning or investment
Why It Works:
The 7-Day Review compresses decision clarity into one week. It prevents wasted effort, aligns funding with practical potential, and gives founders a grounded path forward—or a graceful off-ramp.
“Fail fast, adjust wisely, or proceed with confidence.”
Recent Use Case:
Telemedicine Deployment in Infrastructure-Deficient Regions (Africa)
Identified critical gaps in power/data access, low trust/user readiness, and unsustainable revenue assumptions. Result: Redirected scope toward hybrid, community-integrated model with donor-backed service layers.
