Sandbox
Fast, evidence-backed feasibility
We previously built Sensat, an AI infrastructure SaaS company, from zero to eight-figure revenue deployed across £250bn worth of critical projects worldwideOlympics, Heathrow, HS2, Severn Trent, etc (background).

Now we are solving the single greatest bottleneck holding back trillions in global infrastructure investment – feasibilityInfrastructure feasibility is a preliminary, in-depth investigation that determines if a proposed project, such as data centres, fusion plants, roads, or utilities, is viable, sustainable, and worth the investment.

A £250bn
feasibility gap

Every year, ~10,000 infrastructure projects enter early-stage feasibility in the UK aloneOur beachhead market..

Teams spend between £25k–£250k£3.5tn global CAPEX / year, approximately 10% is spent on early stage feasibility investigating each site, yet 50-70% of these projects die here, wasting hundreds of millions in abortive capital.

Today feasibility is:

Buried in expert judgement, scattered evidence, local precedent, informal assumptions, and slow sequential workflows

Decisions rely on static opinions rather than a concurrent, evidence-based system

There is no canonical object that represents "what we know about this site"

Despite billions spent, the system never gets smarter.What's changed is tolerance. Capital is tighter, planning scrutiny is higher, and teams are under pressure to justify early decisions with far less margin for abortive spend. The cost of getting feasibility wrong has always existed; now it's visible, measured, and no longer acceptable. Each site resets the process, knowledge is discarded, and feasibility is treated as a one-off opinion rather than an accumulating state.

The feasibility bottleneck didn't suddenly appear.

A series of structural changes have shifted pressure earlier in the development process, making speculation untenable and manual feasibility unsustainable.

Regulatory gating has moved earlier

Speculation is no longer acceptable

Grid connections, planning, and other approvals now prioritise projects that are development-ready, not simply first in line.

Harder investment gates

Early decisions now face real scrutiny

Investment committees and asset owners increasingly require defensible answers upfront. Weak feasibility is challenged earlier, with less room for intuition or narrative.

Planning and consent slowdown

Delay has become structurally expensive

Planning timelines have lengthened while demand continues to rise. Carrying non-viable sites deeper into the process now creates material downstream risk.

Consultant bottlenecks

Manual feasibility can't keep up

Consultants remain necessary, but their speed and consistency no longer match the pace or pressure of early-stage decision-making across multiple sites.

Data without reasoning

Inputs exist but judgement hasn't scaled

Policy, constraints, precedents, and rules are digitised and accessible. What hasn't scaled is the ability to reason over them quickly, consistently, and explainably.

Infrastructure feasibility

Sandbox allows feasibility knowledge to compound over time

Consistently applied reasoning

Sandbox encodes how experienced infrastructure teams reason about feasibility, then runs that reasoning instantly and consistently across sites.
SAFE (Site Assessment and Feasibility Evaluation) is a structured first-pass assessment that helps teams decide, earlier and with evidence, whether a site is worth committing time and money to. Think of it as similar to a credit report for a land parcel and it is intended to be the step before you instruct a consultant team.
Concretely, we:

Standardise feasibility into a canonical SAFESite Assessment and Feasibility Evaluation object, turning a one-off exercise into an accumulating asset

Apply deterministic AI across explicit rule systems (planning, engineering) to replace opinion with reasoning

Collapse sequential workflows into parallel ones so bad sites are identified early rather than late

The goal is to make feasibility transparent, evidence-based, and repeatable. Done well, the right projects move faster, fewer bad projects absorb time and capital, and decision-makers can defend choices with far greater confidence.

When feasibility is faster and clearer, infrastructure is easier to build. And if that happens, we all benefit from cheaper power, cleaner water, affordable homes, reliable transport, and consistent connectivity.

We've lived this problem

Sandbox is the product that surfaced consistently while working through feasibility failures with infrastructure owners and operators.

We've met and interviewed 200+ owners and seen first-hand where today's infrastructure feasibility fails in production.
Sandbox applies our playbook for building a £100m+ company in this exact market to feasibility-grade AI, with direct access to early customers and design partners.
