WHY THIS ANNEX EXISTS
A decision instrument, not a paperwork exercise.
Convert verified need and pilot evidence into a transparent investment case with lifecycle cost, benefit, risk and funding assumptions.
Start with uncertainty.
Use the annex to make the decision and its missing evidence visible before discussing a preferred product or schedule.
- 01Which costs are one-time, recurring, contingent or excluded?
- 02Which benefits are measurable, attributable and supported by evidence?
- 03How sensitive is the case to scale, performance, financing and schedule?
- 04What consumer, regulatory and residual risks must decision-makers see?

IMPORTANT CONTROL BOUNDARY
What this page does not do.
The instrument supports decision analysis. It does not guarantee savings, funding, tariff treatment, approval or commercial outcome. This educational page explains the instrument but does not reproduce its complete working tables. Use the controlled Protocol PDF and the responsible professional or authority for actual project work.
USE THE AUTHORITATIVE VERSION
Open the complete working instrument in Protocol 3.2.
The downloadable publication preserves the full annex, version context and framework limitations.
