Describe the proposal in plain English, the engine will separate what you supplied from what it estimated, then return a provisional Accelerate, Fix, or Stop direction.
The first assessment starts with disclosed AI BVF planning assumptions, so it tells you what evidence is missing before the value range can become a budget case.

Add evidence for a funding decision
Use the next material question when an accountable owner can name the source and review point behind the answer.
How this affects the verdict
Each standard must clear its own threshold, while a funding decision still needs the source material and review point confirmed by the accountable owner.
Strategic alignment
Does it move a named board outcome with a baseline, target and accountable executive?
Not assessed
Financial return
Do measured volume, full cost and a finance-tested capture rate support the case?
Not assessed
Change enablement and work design
Have the workflow, roles and measures changed, with a sponsor and product owner able to deliver them?
Not assessed
Governance risk and decision rights
Are decision rights, human override, monitoring, incident response and withdrawal authority tested?
Not assessed
What the answer means
A thin case gets called out.
Estimated inputs stay visible, a weak case gets Fix, and a binding risk can stop the work before more money follows it.
Accelerate means the thresholds clear on the supplied inputs; accountable owners still validate the funding case. Fix means close the named gaps and re-score. Stop means the current case should not proceed.
Each verdict carries the resolved inputs, modelled value range, decision score, rules and audit record from the same open engine.
