    The chain a reviewer follows

    A climate rationale has to connect an intervention to a climate outcome by steps someone else can check, not assert. This lecture rewrites a weak rationale - 'this project supports climate resilience' - into a chain of specific, checkable claims, and shows what each rewrite was fixing.

    Projects that were worth doing anyway

    A project is not disqualified for being sensible on its own merits. What matters is stating plainly what the climate finance specifically buys beyond what would have happened regardless - the increment, not the whole project, is the rationale's job to defend.
