Infrastructure Debt & Project Credit Analysis
Assess and monitor project and infrastructure debt from the lender's seat — DSCR-based covenants, credit committee papers and workout strategies modelled in MS Excel.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
The infrastructure debt agenda is stuck between two truths: the strategy deck says transform, and the income statement says the legacy book still pays the salaries. The infrastructure debt window does not stay open: rails, licences and customers consolidate around whoever moves first. You will stress-test your own institution in the IPAT Data Lab™ and leave with a infrastructure debt strategy that survives both a supervisor and a competitor.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do
- Diagnose where your institution creates — and destroys — value in infrastructure debt across the balance sheet.
- Present a infrastructure debt position to boards and supervisors with evidence they will accept.
- Read the economics of infrastructure debt like an operator: unit costs, network effects and risk-adjusted return.
- Sequence a infrastructure debt transformation agenda that a board will fund and a regulator will endorse.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
Deposits Leave at the Speed of a Rumour
A viral post questions a mobile-money platform’s solvency. The institution is sound, but its deposit base is concentrated and its app is the third-slowest in the market. By morning, the interbank line has tightened.
Your decision: Set the 72-hour posture — liquidity, communication and regulator engagement — with incomplete information about how far the run goes.
IPAT Data Lab™
The infrastructure debt unit economics at a mobile-money platform work in the business case and fail in the ledger.
Dataset: Synthetic product-level revenue, cost and capital data for a mobile-money platform.
Your task: Rebuild the unit economics, stress them against rate and funding shocks, and recommend what to scale or exit.

IPAT DIOS™ Framework · Data Intelligence for Official Statistics & Organisations
From raw data to strategic intelligence in five phases
Software-led programmes at IPAT do not teach syntax — they teach statistical data architecture, the discipline that turns infrastructure debt data into a strategic asset. The programme runs on the five-phase IPAT DIOS™ arc, adapted end-to-end to Power BI & Excel.
Assess
Diagnose the current state of infrastructure debt data processing: a baseline of Power BI & Excel proficiency, data silos, manual bottlenecks and reproducibility gaps in the workflows your institution runs today.
Architect
Design standardized, reproducible data structures: consistent naming conventions, master schemas and version-controlled projects in Git, so every infrastructure debt analysis stands on the same interoperable foundation.
Automate
Replace manual, error-prone steps with automated pipelines: ingest, clean and transform infrastructure debt data with Power Query, Power Pivot and DAX, and automate with scheduled Power Query refreshes and DAX measures the routine reporting that consumes weeks of analyst time.
Analyze
Create decision intelligence: cross-tabulation with proper variance estimation, time-series visualization, geospatial mapping and predictive modelling — applied to realistic, anonymized infrastructure debt data.
Accelerate
Build for what is next: AI-ready datasets, machine learning for imputation and estimation, and executive Power BI dashboards that put infrastructure debt intelligence directly in decision-makers’ hands.
Day 5 · The Capstone
What will you change when you return to work?
