GATAVIA · CAPITAL ALLOCATOR

The problem is not having capital. It is putting it in the wrong place.

Gatavia tests every possible combination and tells you what to fund first, what to reject and how much cash to keep.

Several projects compete for the same money.
ROI alone ignores timing, scale, risk and capital constraints.
Budgets often get spent just because they exist.
Enter investment, incremental net benefit, confidence, delay, useful life and residual value. Gatavia calculates the portfolio that creates the most value inside your available capital.

Capital constraints

Opportunity · Property improvement

Opportunity · Guest acquisition / marketing

Opportunity · Direct-booking infrastructure

Opportunity · Pricing / revenue management

Opportunity · Debt repayment

Opportunity · Custom opportunity

The allocator is allowed to say: do nothing

Unused capital is not failure. If a project does not beat your hurdle after confidence, timing and residual value are considered, it stays out.

One capital pool. Six competing uses.

Use incremental net benefit, not gross revenue.

How we calculate it

Each project is an initial cash outflow followed by confidence-adjusted annual net benefits. Cash flows are discounted using your required return, start delay, useful life and residual value. Then every project combination is tested.

This is a decision model, not a forecast. Taxes, financing limits and dependencies between projects may require professional review.

FAQ

Why not rank by ROI?

Because portfolio value depends on scale, timing, risk and capital constraints.

Can it leave money unspent?

Yes. Weak projects are not funded merely to use the budget.

What is confidence?

Your estimate of how much of the projected benefit is likely to materialise.

Can I compare debt repayment?

Yes.

Is this professional financial advice?

No. It is a decision model.
