Business Case Builder

Builds a sponsor-ready business case grounded in costs, benefits, risks, and evidence whenever budget or timeline justification is needed.

Docs & OfficeIntermediate★ 537⑂ 118AI score 6/10Last updated: Sep 15, 2026

What it does

  • Drafts a business case for an initiative across four axes: costs, benefits, risks, and evidence.
  • Triggers specifically when a sponsor or decision maker asks you to justify budget or timeline.
  • Reads references/task-context.md (task context contract) and then references/business-case.md (the method), keeping output format and authority boundaries consistent.
  • Preserves unknowns instead of inventing numbers, and separates implementation, verification, deployment, and acceptance so claims stay honest.
  • When invoked from the @fde workflow, it reuses the existing sanitized context and scope instead of re-running discovery.

Who it's for

  • PMs and strategy leads who need an approval document for internal investment.
  • Consultants, solution engineers, and forward-deployed engineers presenting rationale to clients.
  • Team leads standardizing decision documents that surface assumptions and risk.

Examples

  1. "We need 3 engineers for 6 months to build a new data pipeline — write the business case for exec approval." → cost breakdown, expected benefits, key risks with mitigations, evidence list.
  2. "Draft a memo explaining to the sponsor why the legacy migration needs two more quarters."
  3. "Turn our PoC results into a case for company-wide rollout funding," clearly separating verified outcomes from unverified assumptions.
