# Your firm’s capacity decision

## Complete this cover before circulating the evidence pack

Editable buyer worksheet. Blank fields require the firm's evidence; the Northbank example must not fill them. This cover is a decision aid, not an agreement or a promised result.

| Decision field | Your firm’s answer |
| --- | --- |
| Firm, sponsor, decision date | [Complete] |
| Paid service and important revenue path | [Complete] |
| Current symptom and binding role | [Complete with one recent example] |

| Billing model and demand evidence | [Fixed fee / hourly / retainer; evidence of work available] |
| Complete-case baseline | [Preparation, review, correction, coordination and exceptions by role] |
| Simpler alternative | [Repair current method / existing software / defer; comparison owner] |
| First purchase under consideration | [Quote-specific Firm Capacity Blueprint; no installation commitment] |
| Investment and participation | [Actual quoted fee, tax, payment schedule, required time, timing] |
| Evidence and permissions | [Permitted sources, reviewer, access owner; unresolved limits] |
| Decision and next owner | [Proceed to agreed Blueprint / no-build repair / hold for named evidence / decline] |

## The approval question

Can we justify paying for a portable decision and three complete connected designs for this revenue path, given our demand, role capacity, quality requirements and simpler alternatives?

Separate the Blueprint decision from any later installation. Do not approve a full-firm rollout from a sample or from hours multiplied by an hourly rate. Agree the specific deliverables, acceptance and participation before purchasing.

## What to share

buyer-approval-pack.html explains the purchase boundaries. sample-blueprint.html demonstrates a completed fictional decision. prepared-report.html and report-inputs.html let reviewers inspect an authored output against its originals. The examples show how a decision can be examined; they do not establish your return on investment.

## Record the outcome
