Cost-Benefit Analysis

Weigh options with NPV, payback and a clear sensitivity check.

Produce a cost-benefit analysis comparing options — enumerating costs and benefits over a defined period, quantifying where possible, and computing simple financial measures (net benefit, payback, and NPV with a stated discount rate) — with assumptions and a sensitivity check. Use when asked for a cost-benefit analysis, CBA, ROI, or to compare the numbers on options.

Ask for it in plain English, e.g.

Works in

You ask: Do a cost-benefit analysis over 5 years comparing keeping our manual invoice process vs buying invoice-automation software. The software costs $40k up front and $10k/year. We reckon it saves about $35k/year in staff time. Use an 8% discount rate.
