Capvium at a glance
- What it is. Capvium is decision software for capital allocation and capital project portfolios. It tells capital-intensive organizations which projects to fund, how much to commit to each, and when — with the downside quantified before signature.
- What it answers. Which ones. How much. What if. Every project gets a recommendation — commit, stage, defer, or re-size — stated in dollars rather than as a rank.
- Who it's for. CFOs, strategy and portfolio teams, capital committees and boards, working with the engineering and project-controls leaders who deliver the projects.
- Where it's used. Oil and gas, power and nuclear, renewables, infrastructure, mining and materials, data centers, manufacturing, and corporate capital portfolios.
- Who makes it. Capital Project Inc., based in Houston, Texas. Capvium was previously known as Capital Project AI; the website is capitalproject.ai.
- How to start. Access is by invitation. Most organizations begin with a fixed-fee pilot on one real decision; platform pricing is quote-based and scales with the capital under decision. See pricing.
Why we built this
Capital-intensive companies don't lack analysis. They lack an answer to the question that decides everything: how much. Business cases arrive one at a time, each polished, each optimistic, each evaluated as if it lives alone. They get ranked, and the budget gets handed down the list until it runs out. Nobody sizes the commitments. Nobody prices the fact that the projects share suppliers, regulators, crews, and a commodity price. Nobody states the odds that the whole plan produces a loss the company can't absorb.
Everyone waits for uncertainty to clear before moving capital. Capvium uses it to decide how much to move. It treats a capital plan the way a disciplined investor treats a book — each commitment sized for the portfolio it joins, and the whole plan stress-tested against the bad year before anyone signs.
Capvium was founded by engineers with deep, hands-on experience allocating capital and delivering complex industrial capital programs. The software encodes what those rooms teach you: the base case is a hope, shared risks are real, and one of the most valuable outputs of capital governance is a defensible no.
How we work
We start with one real decision
Not a sandbox, not a generic demo. You bring a decision you actually have to make this quarter — a sanction, a phasing call, a budget cycle — and we run it with you on your own numbers. You see the output before you commit to anything.
We say no
The recommendation can be zero. When a project shouldn't make the cut at any size, Capvium says so, and a staged or deferred commitment is as easy to act on as an enthusiastic yes. Tools that only ever say yes are sales collateral, not decision support.
We show our work
Every recommendation comes with its assumptions, the scenarios behind it, and the drivers of the downside, and every run is retained so the decision can be audited later. Your data stays yours — see security.
What Capvium is not
- Not a scheduler or a project-controls system. Primavera P6, Microsoft Project and your controls team keep running the work. Capvium uses their schedules and estimates to inform the capital decision.
- Not a portfolio tracking (PPM) tool. PPM suites record what's in the portfolio and how it's tracking. Capvium decides how much each project should get, and when.
- Not a chatbot. The numbers come from quantitative analysis — Monte Carlo simulation, scenario analysis and stress-testing — and would be the same whichever language model was attached. AI is used to take in documents and to explain results in plain language.
For a side-by-side view, see how Capvium compares to spreadsheets, PPM software and schedule risk tools.
Bring us one real decision
The fastest way to know if Capvium fits is to point it at a decision you actually have to make this quarter. We'll run it with you.
