Quit thinking in hourly costs.
Start thinking in value.
Including a numerical explanation for how your project will make a business more revenue, save it on costs, reduce risk, or improve societal outcomes will mean decision-makers can evaluate your project on the value it creates instead of the cost it takes to implement.

Ask Claude Code to build your business case
Tell it as much as you can about the proposal — who's paying, who captures the value, the counterfactual, the horizon, any real numbers you already have. The more context, the sharper the model. Some examples that show the depth and breadth of what Cost Benefit Agent handles well:
"Build a business case for installing AI monitoring on our sales calls — listening for objection-handling patterns, surfacing missed-discovery questions to reps in real time, and feeding a weekly coaching report to the VP of Sales. ~28 reps, average deal size $42k, current win rate 22%."
B2B SaaS · sales productivity"Model a microgrid for a regional community of ~1,200 households — rooftop solar plus shared battery storage, optional diesel backup. Counterfactual is staying on the grid with current line tariffs. Pay-vs-capture is the council vs. residents; horizon 15 years; flag where state subsidies materially change the answer."
Energy · public infrastructure"Should we hire a business-development lead at our ag-tech company? Loaded cost ~$220k/yr, 6-month ramp. They'd own outbound to large agribusiness customers; current pipeline is referral-only. Quantify the opportunity cost of not having them, and where the bet breaks."

The browser opens with an interactive model — every estimate is a live input and every cost and benefit recalculates as you nudge. Edit values, add or remove items, switch between conservative / central / optimistic scenarios, or hit Sort by impact to surface the estimates that move NPV the most. Click an item to highlight the assumptions that drive it and pin them to the top.
