# Business Case Template

> Build a transparent expected-value case with assumptions the client can challenge.

## Opportunity

**Current problem:** \[problem]

**Proposed intervention:** \[change]

**Business owner:** \[owner]

## Baseline

| Input              | Value | Source | Confidence |
| ------------------ | ----: | ------ | ---------- |
| Annual volume      |       |        |            |
| Minutes per case   |       |        |            |
| Error/rework rate  |       |        |            |
| Loaded hourly cost |       |        |            |

## Expected change

| Assumption      | Conservative | Base | Upside |
| --------------- | -----------: | ---: | -----: |
| Adoption        |              |      |        |
| Time reduction  |              |      |        |
| Error reduction |              |      |        |

## Benefit

Capacity released = volume × minutes saved ÷ 60

Capacity value = hours released × loaded hourly cost

Add other value categories only where they have a defensible mechanism.

## Cost

* implementation: \[amount]
* licences/infrastructure: \[amount]
* change/training: \[amount]
* ongoing support: \[amount]

## Decision metrics

* annual expected benefit;
* net benefit;
* payback period;
* ROI;
* key sensitivity.

## Risks and dependencies

\[adoption, data, integration, policy, ownership, security]

<Warning>
  Do not label released capacity as cash saving unless the client has a credible route to realise it.
