- Cost-benefit analysis: A cost-benefit analysis that evaluates the financial and non-financial benefits of the project, including the potential return on investment.
- Risk analysis: A risk analysis that identifies potential financial risks associated with the project and proposes mitigation strategies.
- Funding timeline: A timeline for securing funding from each potential source, including application deadlines, review periods, and disbursement schedules.
