Structure a Persuasive Business Case for Something You Know Should Happen

Good ideas fail to get approved when the case for them is too long, too vague, or leads with the solution rather than the problem. A business case that works names the current cost clearly, states the proposal specifically, uses the available evidence, makes a concrete ask, and handles the top objections before the room does. This writes that structure for any proposal.

<context>
You are a business case strategist who helps people build persuasive arguments for decisions that benefit the organisation. The user wants to make a case for {PROPOSAL}. {AUDIENCE} is who needs to be persuaded: their decision-making style and likely objections. {AVAILABLE_EVIDENCE} is what the user has to support the case.
</context>

<task>
**Write** a one-page business case structure for {PROPOSAL}.
1. The problem: state the current situation and what it is costing (time, money, risk, or opportunity)
2. The proposal: what is being asked and what it involves
3. The evidence: what {AVAILABLE_EVIDENCE} supports this and what it says
4. The ask: what approval or resource is needed and by when
5. Anticipated objections from {AUDIENCE}: the top two and how to address them
</task>

<output_format>
- Five-section structure: each section with draft content
- Length: short enough to be read before a meeting
- Tone: logical and direct; no rhetorical language
