Who can? Seriously.

Either:

trust you are smart enough, and we almost always are, and commit to hard work

, or

abandon it and move on something lower risk, lower cost, but with a respectable or worthy reward

, or

seek help.

Rough place to be in, frankly. I do not envy you. :(

And what of the rewards?

You might try valuing them this way:

Actual value = (predicted value * risk) - (cost * time)
