Financial Modelling

GPU Project Finance & Modelling

GPU infrastructure is a capital-intensive asset class with accelerating depreciation, volatile utilisation, and pricing that moves quarterly. Generic financial models built on static assumptions produce dangerously wrong answers. Ours don't.

Every model draws on live pricing data from 70+ providers, real-world cluster economics, and assumptions stress-tested against actual operator performance.

Scope

What's included

Project Finance Models

Full project finance structures for GPU cluster deployments: debt sculpting, DSCR and LLCR cover ratios, cash cascade waterfalls, reserve accounts, and equity return analysis. Built to institutional standards that satisfy lender technical advisors and investment committees.

Cluster Unit Economics

Granular cost modelling from GPU acquisition through power, cooling, networking, staffing, and maintenance. Revenue modelling across contract types (reserved, on-demand, spot) with utilisation sensitivity. We model the economics at the rack, row, and facility level.

TCO & Depreciation Analysis

GPU hardware depreciates faster than any other infrastructure asset. We model total cost of ownership across GPU generations, accounting for technology refresh cycles, secondary market residual values, and the real cost of running mixed-generation fleets.

Business Plan Financials

Three-statement financial models (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) for neocloud business plans, fundraising decks, and lender presentations. Integrated with operational assumptions and scenario analysis so investors can stress-test the numbers themselves.

Pricing & Revenue Sensitivity

What happens to your IRR if H100 spot prices drop 30%? If utilisation falls from 85% to 65%? If your largest customer churns? We build scenario and sensitivity frameworks that answer the questions investors and lenders actually ask.

Process

How we work

1

Assumption Workshop

Work through your operational assumptions together: hardware mix, deployment timeline, pricing strategy, customer pipeline, and financing structure. Challenge anything that doesn't hold up against market data.

2

Model Architecture

Design the model structure: inputs sheet, timing, capital expenditure, revenue build, operating costs, debt schedule, tax, and returns analysis. Agree on scenario definitions and sensitivity parameters.

3

Build & Populate

Build the model in Excel following institutional methodology (Camilla Culley standards where applicable). Populate with your specific inputs and Disintermediate's proprietary market benchmarks.

4

Stress Test & Audit

Run full scenario and sensitivity analysis. Audit every formula path. Produce a model integrity report documenting assumptions, sources, and known limitations.

5

Handover & Walkthrough

Deliver the model with full documentation. Walk your finance team, investors, or lenders through the structure, assumptions, and outputs. The model is yours to own and extend.

Deliverables

What you'll have at the end

Financial Model (Excel)

Fully auditable Excel model with inputs, assumptions, debt schedule, three-statement financials, and returns analysis. Institutional-grade, not a template.

Scenario & Sensitivity Pack

Base, upside, and downside scenarios with tornado charts on key drivers: GPU pricing, utilisation, power costs, customer concentration, and capex timing.

Assumption Documentation

Every assumption sourced and documented. Market benchmarks from Disintermediate's proprietary data clearly separated from management inputs.

Investor Summary

Two-page financial summary suitable for investment committee papers, lender presentations, or board materials.

Model Walkthrough

Recorded walkthrough session covering model structure, key assumptions, scenario outputs, and how to update inputs as your business evolves.
