ROI, NPV, IRR, payback and TCO for investment decisions. Use when building a financial justification, cost-benefit or build-vs-buy analysis.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Business Case

Financial frameworks for investment justification and decision support.

## When to Use Each Framework

| Framework | Use When |
|-----------|----------|
| **ROI** | Quick sanity check; time value of money doesn't matter much |
| **NPV** | Multi-year investments; gold standard for GO/NO-GO |
| **IRR** | Comparing projects competing for the same budget |
| **Payback Period** | Leadership asks "how fast do we break even?" |
| **TCO** | Build vs. buy; total cost including hidden/ongoing costs |
| **Sensitivity Analysis** | High uncertainty; need to stress-test assumptions |

## Decision Tree

```
Is the investment multi-year?
  YES → Use NPV (+ IRR to compare alternatives)
  NO  → ROI is sufficient

Is this a build vs. buy decision?
  YES → TCO comparison across all three options
  NO  → Skip TCO, use NPV/ROI

Are assumptions uncertain?
  YES → Add sensitivity analysis (3 scenarios)
  NO  → Base case only
```

## Quick Reference Formulas

```
ROI = (Net Benefits - Total Costs) / Total Costs × 100%

NPV = Sum(Cash Flow_t / (1 + r)^t) - Initial Investment
  r = discount rate (10% enterprise, 15-20% growth, 25-40% startup)
  Decision: Accept if NPV > 0

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/business-case@sha256:3deab6cdd5755ee4

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
