Business Case Builder

Builds an evidence-backed business case with costs, benefits, risks and explicit assumptions to justify budget or timeline.

Docs & OfficeIntermediate★ 946⑂ 106AI score 7/10Last updated: Oct 21, 2026

What it does

  • Produces a business case for an initiative covering costs, benefits, risks and supporting evidence.
  • Forces explicit assumptions behind every estimate and preserves unknowns instead of inventing numbers.
  • Separates implementation, verification, deployment and acceptance so approval conversations stay honest.
  • Works standalone (no engagement folder or setup required) and reuses sanitized context when invoked by the @fde orchestrator.

Who it's for

  • PMs, BAs and consultants who must secure sponsor approval for budget or schedule.
  • Tech leads justifying refactors, migrations or tool purchases to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strategy and operations folks who want consistent ROI reasoning across proposals.

Examples

  1. "Write a business case for replacing the legacy payments module with two engineers over six months" → cost model, incident-reduction benefits, risks and assumptions.
  2. "I need a one-page justification to get data warehouse budget approved" → cost range, quantified and qualitative benefits, flagged unknowns.
  3. "Turn our existing discovery notes into an investment case" → reuses prior context instead of re-running discovery.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/business-case folder from the GitHub repo suboss87/FDEOps into my ~/.claude/skills/business-case/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/suboss87/FDEOps.git /tmp/FDEOps && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/FDEOps/skills/business-case ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/suboss87/FDEOps.git
  3. Ensure the skills directory exists: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy just this skill: cp -r FDEOps/skills/business-case ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Verify with ls ~/.claude/skills/business-case that both SKILL.md and the references/ folder came along — the method lives in the references.
  6. Restart Claude Code and ask something like "build a business case for this initiative" to trigger the skill.
