Cost-Benefit Analysis for a Proposed Initiative

Create a clear cost-benefit analysis for the initiative {{initiative}} over a {{time_horizon}}-year horizon. Provide: 1) summary of one-time and recurring costs, 2) expected annual benefits (quantified where possible), 3) NPV and simple ROI calculations using discount rate {{discount_rate}}%, 4) sensitivity analysis (best/likely/worst cases), and 5) a recommendation with rationale. Present results in a short table and a 3–4 sentence executive recommendation.

Inputs: {{initiative}}, {{one_time_costs}}, {{recurring_costs_annually}}, {{expected_benefits_year1}}, {{time_horizon}}, {{discount_rate}}.
