Strategic case

Build the strategic case for a government programme, and keep every option, rejection and reason on the record.

In production, in use with paying customers. It covers the strategic case. It ingests existing financial models rather than generating the economic, commercial and financial cases.

The problem

The strategic case is where a programme is justified: the case for change, the options considered, and why each was ruled in or out. It is written under time pressure, often with external support, and it is the document an assurance reviewer reads first.

Then the people who wrote it move on. Programmes change hands, delivery partners rotate, and a year later the accountable officer cannot reconstruct why the two cheaper options were discounted. The document survives; the reasoning behind it does not.

Two things come out, not one. The document is what you submit; the record is what you rely on when someone asks how you got there.

What it does

Structured exercises

Guided exercises work through each part of the strategic case, prompting for the evidence and reasoning a reviewer will ask for, rather than presenting an empty template.

Green Book structure

The Green Book and the Five Case Model shape the strategic case, so the output is organised the way assurance reviewers expect to read it.

Coverage you can see

Which parts of the case are evidenced, and which are thin, before a reviewer tells you.

Options kept on the record

Every option, every rejection, and the reason for it. This is the part that is hardest to reconstruct later, and the part most often asked about.

Your own documents as evidence

Upload what the programme already holds. The case draws on your material rather than starting from a blank page.

A document you own

Produced as a working document you can edit, circulate and put in a board pack.

What it does not do

This drafts, structures and records. It does not assure, and a tool cannot carry your accountability. What it can do is make sure that when someone asks how an option was appraised, the answer exists.

How it runs

  • Runs on Microsoft Azure, with inference through Azure AI Foundry. Model-agnostic within Foundry, so it is not tied to a single model.
  • Inference is UK-resident.
  • Sign-in uses Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on, so access follows your existing identity and conditional access policies.
  • Every AI-assisted output is traceable to the prompt version and inputs that produced it.

Your material and the inference that works on it stay inside one UK boundary. Sign-in runs through your own directory, so access follows the policies you already enforce.

See it on your own programme

A working demonstration using your own material takes days rather than procurement cycles. That is the fastest way to find out whether this is worth your time.
