When to use it.
Business Case is a sixteen-slide deck for the moment you ask for money: the recommendation in one line, the problem in three numbered parts, what it costs today, what you propose, what it costs and over what period, the return and when it pays back, the phases, the risks, the cost of doing nothing, who approves what and the decision you want. It is built around one worked example, so every chart, bar and table already holds numbers that add up. Swap the company, the project and the numbers and the whole case follows.

Make it yours in four steps.
Open it in Decks and work through it, or let Docsiv AI do the first pass with your details.
- Step 1
Open the template and replace the company, project and adviser names on the cover and closing slides.
- Step 2
Put your own figure for today's avoidable cost on the problem slide, then break it into the four lines that make it up.
- Step 3
Set your investment, phases and annual benefit — the payback curve, the three-year table and the bars read from the same numbers, so change them together.
- Step 4
Fill in the approvals table with real names and dates, then present or export to PDF.
