How to read and export a feasibility report

Turn a project's cited analysis into an audience-ready deliverable — what's inside, how to pick an audience, and how to export it.

A feasibility report is Bucky's deliverable: a reusable artifact built from a project's cited parcel, zoning, and feasibility read, for the next decision maker — a client, lender, board, or resident committee.

Lead with the decision it supports

Before you generate one, know who reads it and what they decide:

  • Investor / lender — is this worth funding?
  • Owner — should I move forward on my own site?
  • Board — should the organization commit resources?
  • Resident — what does this mean for the neighborhood?

Bucky asks for that audience up front, because a report for a lender and a report for a resident committee lead with different facts even when the underlying analysis is the same.

What's inside

A report is built from the same cited analysis you already read on the project:

  • The parcel — geometry, dimensions, identifiers.
  • The zoning — permitted uses and envelope limits, each with a source status.
  • The feasibility read — whether the project pencils under that zoning.

Anything that isn't cited or cited_conditional in the underlying analysis stays flagged in the report, too. A deliverable does not upgrade an unverified_default value into a fact.

How to produce one

Ask BuckyAssist from an open project, for example:

  • "Draft an investor report from this project"
  • "Draft a brief report for the board"

Pick:

  • Audience — investor, owner, board, or resident.
  • Detail — brief or detailed.

BuckyAssist composes a plan first. Preview it before you spend an export — the plan is free to review and revise; exporting the PDF is not.

Confirm the plan before exporting. Composing and previewing a report plan does not spend your export allowance; confirming and exporting the PDF does.

Other deliverable types

A feasibility report is the most common deliverable, but the same cited project record can back other artifacts as the project moves further along — an investment memo, an RFP package for a design-build search, or a permit package once you reach entitlement. See core concepts for how these relate.

Before you send it

Decision support, not a professional certification

A Bucky report is decision support built from cited and, where noted, unverified data — not a permit, appraisal, or legal opinion. Review it, and flag anything that still needs verification, before it goes to a lender, board, or municipality.
