Design Cost-Benefit Analysis Framework

1. Replace placeholders like \[project/investment/initiative], \[specific currency or unit], and \[industry context] with your real-world details.
2. Include assumptions that may affect costs or benefits to ensure realistic outputs.
3. Use the output as a draft framework, then refine with internal financial data.
4. Review the risk assessment section carefully and add qualitative factors if necessary.
5. Avoid vague inputs; the more detailed your project description, the more actionable the AI’s framework will be.
6. Verify all calculations and metrics against actual financial data before finalizing for stakeholder presentation.
