The decision
What is proposed, what it replaces, and what happens if nothing is done.
Options considered
| Option | One-off cost | Annual cost | Annual benefit | Payback | Main risk | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Do nothing | | | | | | | Option A | | | | | | | Option B | | | | | |
Benefits, each with its assumption
| Benefit | Amount per year | Assumption | Who confirmed it | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Time saved on <process> | | <hours x rate x share removed> | | | Spend brought under contract | | <spend x share x premium> | | | Risk reduced | | <describe; may be non-financial> | |
No benefit is counted twice, and no benchmark stands in for an assumption we could not make ourselves.
Costs
Licence, implementation, internal effort, change management, exit.
Recommendation
Option <x>, because <the two or three facts that decide it>. Review after <period>.
