STAGE-GATE CAPITAL RELEASE · RECURRING VISITS

Milestone Verification for Stage-Gated Capital

When capital is released in tranches tied to specific milestones — super-structure complete, envelope closed, FF&E installed, soft opening achieved — the party releasing the capital needs an independent party to confirm the milestone is genuinely met before funds move. HotelCompass is that independent party. Typically engaged as a recurring 4–6 visit programme across the build.
