build-business-case

A workflow for turning customer information into a business case, such as a value explanation, return-on-investment estimate, pricing rationale, or executive summary. It connects a customer's situation to a proposed change and its measurable effects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explain why an initiative is worth funding, estimate its business impact, prepare customer-facing value stories, or identify the evidence still needed for a finance-ready case.
Why use it?
It helps turn scattered account details into a decision document and makes clear when the available evidence is not enough for reliable financial calculations.

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

build-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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Build Business Case

Turn uneven account evidence into a customer-led, decision-useful value case. This skill owns the business-case logic and drafts; it is not generic product positioning, a presentation-design workflow, or a writeback workflow.

Start with the customer, not the product. Follow this chain on every run:

customer context -> account-native anchor -> workflow -> use case -> value drivers -> metrics -> quantified impact -> narrative -> public research when useful

If the evidence cannot support credible math, produce a clearly labeled structural case and the smallest validation plan needed to make it finance-ready.

Common Skill Instructions

MANDATORY: If not already in context, read and adhere closely to plugins/sales/skills/index/SKILL.md## Cross-Skill Best Practices.

Key Dependency Categories

Use only lanes that materially improve the case.

  • [Blocking] ~~CRM for authoritative account, opportunity, owner, stage, amount, close timing, contacts, and commercial context. It blocks customer/account-specific cases unless authoritative account and commercial context is already grounded; generic scenario cases can proceed without it.
  • ~~Meeting Transcripts for discovery evidence, stakeholder language, workflow pain, objections, quantified claims, decisions, and validation gaps
  • ~~Knowledge & Files for account plans, source packs, discovery notes, prior value cases, proof points, and account-native metrics
  • ~~Sales Intelligence only when company, fit, stakeholder, or market context closes a specific evidence gap

Use public research only when it sharpens strategic priorities, executive wording, operating pressure, or “why now.” Prefer company-controlled, investor, regulatory, and other primary sources. Never let public or enrichment context substitute for customer-confirmed pain, workflow metrics, decision process, or CRM-owned truth.

Reference Loading

SKILL.md owns the normal customer-led flow, evidence order, guardrails, and default package. Load references only when their extra detail matters:

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
