Cost Benefit Modeling Template

Economy wide business case modelling is of little value to individual businesses who must make their own individual case for investment. This section provides tooling for individual businesses to assess potential costs and benefits from UNCRMTP implementation.

Generic costs and benefit categories will vary considerably in their relevance between individual businesses. Benefits will also grow as economy wide uptake grows. The ability to exchange UNCRMTP credentials with one trading partner is much less valuable than when they are ubiquitous across all trading partners. Benefits will vary according to the sustainability topic.

The spreadsheet template below provides a very simple tool to assist with the first-pass estimate of UNCRMTP implementation costs and benefits for individual businesses. It allows the user to choose how to weight each benefit category to suit their own circumstances. It also allows users to model break-even point with different assumptions about uptake rate across trading partners.
