Lifecycle pipeline
Confidence-adjusted projected net benefit shown at every stage. Selecting a stage filters the ledger below only; it never changes a canonical status.
Stage aging unavailable — stage entry dates are not recorded on these Value Cases. Stage movement unavailable — no stage history is recorded for the reporting period. No substitute figure is estimated for either.
Ranked Value Case ledger
Ranked on the governed decision-priority score.
Ranking basis
Decision priority uses the governed weighted priority score where one exists. Value Cases without a governed score are ordered after scored cases by confidence-adjusted projected net benefit, then shortest payback, then decision urgency, with the Value Case identifier as a stable tie-breaker. Incomplete Value Cases never outrank complete ones and no estimate is substituted for a missing input.
