Single-Thread Accountability in Mega-Infrastructure Delivery
Reducing coordination risk through unified delivery responsibility.
Executive Summary
Single-thread accountability consolidates responsibility for design, financing, construction, and operations within a unified delivery structure. This approach materially reduces coordination failures in mega-infrastructure projects.
Core Principle
Fragmented responsibility creates execution risk that cannot be mitigated through contracts alone.
Accountability Model
- One delivery SPV
- One financing structure
- One governance framework
- One counterparty to Government
Risk Reduction Standard
The model must eliminate interface ambiguity across the project lifecycle.
