A research pack for the business case behind changing who decides, approves and executes key decisions. It turns every claim in the case into a classified, graded assumption. Sponsors can then see what has been measured, what is only expected, and what still needs testing before funding.
The 13 sections
The pack sets out the decision it supports and when not to use it. It includes an inputs table, an evidence hierarchy, and a repeatable method with written formulas and scoring anchors for evidence strength and sensitivity. Guidance on options keeps released capacity separate from cash. Execution, governance and measurement tables assign owners, gates and KPIs. A synthetic worked example comes with a failure case, an alternate scenario and a classification exercise. Five copyable tools are included: an assumption register, a source log, a research question log, a decision inventory capture sheet and an assumption challenge worksheet.
