Constructs rigorous executive business cases and expected-value ROI models to justify or reject funding for specific product investments.

The Business Case skill transforms proposed product initiatives into decision-ready executive artifacts featuring reproducible ROI models, cost-of-inaction baselines, and multi-option analysis. Built for product managers defending investments before skeptical leadership and finance teams, it grounds decisions in expected value (Reach × Adoption × Value-per-unit × Confidence Discount) alongside full build and run costs. Instead of relying on hand-wavy pitches or generic backlogs, this guided framework establishes payback periods, time-horizon returns, break-even sensitivity thresholds, and clear fund/kill recommendations for high-stakes bets.
