DPDARLING PROJECTS
SECTION 03 | ECONOMIC LENS

Nobody puts economics in the corner.

Economics may act as constraint, driver, evaluator, or allocation mechanism depending on whether the frame is a single SSO or a portfolio of competing SSOs.

Constraint

Insufficient budget, unacceptable ROI, long payback, or excessive exposure may limit advancement.

Driver

Revenue growth, cost reduction, risk reduction, or strategic gain may create urgency.

Evaluator

Economic logic helps compare value, risk, timing, and investment justification.

Allocator

Across multiple SSOs, economics influences which objective deserves resources.

Inside one SSO, economics may be a constraint. Across SSOs, economics becomes comparative.

Single SSO

Can this opportunity advance within its own constraints?

Multiple SSOs

Should this objective receive resources instead of another?
