Business Case Validation Canvas
Build an AI business case your CFO can't argue with.
What you get
Three documents. Zero guesswork.
- →
Verified business case
Assumptions tested against your actual data, not industry benchmarks; numbers the CFO can interrogate.
- →
Assumption test log
A documented record of which assumptions held, which were revised, and why.
- →
CFO-ready summary
A single page covering investment, payback period, key risks, and the decision required.
Who it's for
The investment owner.
Needs to defend AI spend with financials that survive the CFO's questions, not just technology enthusiasm.
Evaluating AI investment proposals. Needs assumptions surfaced and tested, not buried in decks.
Sponsoring a specific AI initiative. Needs a business case that can travel up the organisation without a technical translator.
