Purchase Justification Generator — illustrative example

INPUT
Team spends 4 hours weekly reconciling records; proposed software costs USD 40 monthly; no pilot has been run.

RESULT
Business case: test whether the software reduces reconciliation time while preserving accuracy.
Compare current process, configuration improvements and the paid option.
Label time savings as a pilot hypothesis.

REVIEW
A purchase justification should compare the requested option with realistic alternatives. Tie benefits to an observable need, identify recurring costs and avoid presenting hoped-for savings as measured facts.

This is a teaching example, not a live execution record.
