business-case is a skill for Claude Code from daddia/claude-for-strategy. It costs 58 tokens per session (3,064 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured business-case method for a transformation initiative. It brings together the problem, options, costs, benefits, timing, risks, assumptions, and decision request.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for preparing a decision-ready proposal for sponsors, finance teams, or leadership boards.
Why use it?
It makes missing financial information and uncertain assumptions visible before someone relies on the case for funding or approval.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

business-case scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Business Case

When to use

Decision-ready transformation business case — problem, options, cost/benefit, sequencing, risk, specific ask; BLUF structured.

What this skill does not do

  • Does not invent financials — tag assumptions; INPUT NEEDED for missing costs.
  • Does not approve funding — draft for sponsor/finance gate.
  • Does not sequence roadmap — hand off detail to /transformation:roadmap-builder.

Preconditions

Load org + transformation profiles before building; provisional mode on user request.

Provisional mode

See workflow section below — generic defaults with [PROVISIONAL] tags.

Trust spine

Option-evaluation bands; benefit confidence labels; GATE before board/exec final. Guards invented financials and unsigned assumptions.

Assumption audit

Before drafting options, surface every load-bearing assumption explicitly — not buried in tables:

Assumption Source If wrong, what breaks
Adoption / uptake rate [sourced / user estimate / unknown] Benefit case collapses or shifts payback
Cost estimate completeness [sourced / partial / missing] ROI overstated
Timeline to value [sourced / judgment / unknown] Sequencing and funding tranches misaligned
Baseline performance [measured / inferred / missing] Delta benefits invented
Dependency readiness [confirmed / assumed / unknown] Recommended option not executable

Do not proceed to a defensible recommendation when adoption, baseline, or cost completeness are all unknown without tagging confidence structured first pass and listing assumptions in LOAD-BEARING ASSUMPTIONS.

Red flags

These checks are non-negotiable — halt and fix before delivering a board- or finance-facing final:

  • MUST NOT present ROI, NPV, or payback without sourced baseline and cost inputs — use INPUT NEEDED instead.
  • MUST NOT treat soft benefits as hard P&L without a confidence label and mechanism — optimism bias causes boards to fund on phantom cash.
  • Do not proceed if the recommended option lacks kill/revisit criteria dated before the decision — without them, sunk-cost momentum tends to cause spend continuation after failure signals.
  • Hard stop: any hard benefit line with Low confidence that carries more than 25% of the headline case value — escalate to sponsor before polish.
