Cost Benefit Analysis
People-Huggers Not Tree-Huggers
At Autocase we are not tree-huggers – we are people-huggers. Our people-first values are reflected in our methodology: Triple Bottom Line Cost Benefit Analysis values what we value and that is why we love it, because we are people-huggers.
Post-Pandemic Stimulus – Autocase’s post-pandemic call to arms – Part 4
All governments, infrastructure planners, designers and decision makers need to adopt a triple bottom line cost benefit analysis approach for building and infrastructure decisions to ensure that users, the environment and all stakeholders are best served by a post-pandemic stimulus package.
Setting a New & Better Course – Autocase’s post-pandemic call to arms – Part 3
As we re-build the economy, we need to make sure that what we build reflects our values and that “public values help shape private value”. We need Triple Bottom Line Costs Benefit Analysis (TBL-CBA) to measure value and set priorities.
Reassessing What is Essential and Important – Autocase’s post-pandemic call to arms – Part 2

It is Time to Reclaim the Public Interest
As we rush towards possibly environmentally damaging projects or other get-someone-rich-quick schemes we need to make sure we are doing so with our eyes wide open. Cost Benefit Analysis reduces all dimensions of a decision – people, planet, profits – to one: net welfare. Are we, as a group, better off? This well-established and standardized approach needs to be used much more to guide us in our project and policy decisions. CBA values society’s best interests, the public interest.
Vogons, Intergalactic Highways, and Who Benefits?
TBL-CBA can shine a light into who benefits and who doesn’t. While its probably too much to ask the Vogons to use it, it is not over the top to ask our governments to.
Transparency Not Nepotism Part 2
Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) provides infrastructure decision-makers with information on what to build, how to design, build, and finance a project and how to prioritize when funds are scarce. What more could we ask from this over 100-year old tool? As we rush headlong...
