What happens when every memo your board reads was written by someone asking for a cheque:
No independent validation of sponsor assumptions, projections, or base-case economics.
No stress test on the downside scenarios the promoter chose not to model.
No pointed questions prepared before the room. The IC is reacting, not interrogating.
Structural risks buried in footnotes, side letters, or assumptions that never surface in the pitch deck.
Committee members who approve because they had no framework to say no.
A fiduciary process that looks rigorous on paper but defaults to the promoter's narrative.
What You Receive
Every memo is built from the allocator's perspective. Not the promoter's pitch. Not the placement agent's summary.

Why Prairie Crossing
Independence
US-based advisory practice with zero sponsor-side revenue. Prairie Crossing does not raise capital, does not earn placement fees, and does not accept mandates from promoters. The only client is the institution writing the cheque.
Credentials
Deep experience across energy infrastructure and private credit diligence. Every memo is prepared by professionals who understand project finance structures, infrastructure risk, and institutional underwriting standards.
Focus
Sector-specific knowledge means better questions, faster pattern recognition, and memos that reflect how these deals actually work — not a generic checklist applied to an unfamiliar asset class.
Portal Access
Every memo is archived in a private, searchable portal for your institution. Full history of deal assessments, IC questions, and risk flags — accessible to your team at any time.
How It Works
Step 01
Submit a deal or project pitch. Prairie Crossing delivers your first IC assessment memo at no charge — before any contract is signed. If it does not surface at least three material questions the board had not previously identified, there is no obligation to proceed.
Step 02
After the first memo, we discuss your institution's deal flow volume, IC cadence, and specific assessment requirements. The retainer is scoped to match your pipeline — not a one-size-fits-all package.
Step 03
A fixed annual agreement covering all deal submissions within the agreed scope. Predictable cost, consistent quality, and a dedicated team that learns your institution's standards over time.
Grand Slam Guarantee
Your first IC assessment memo is delivered at no charge before any contract is signed. If it does not surface at least three material questions the board had not previously identified, there is no obligation to proceed. No invoice. No follow-up.
This guarantee exists because the gap between promoter-prepared materials and independent analysis is almost always wider than institutions expect. We are confident enough in that to prove it before asking for a commitment.
Who This Is For

Endowments assessing energy and infrastructure fund commitments.
