Executive Pitch & Business Case

Generates C-level presentations with quantified problem statements, 4-pillar value propositions, 3-option comparison analysis, investment summaries with financial models (NPV, IRR, payback), and decision frameworks. Uses Problem-Agitate-Solve (PAS) persuasion architecture. [EXPLICIT]

Principio Rector

Un pitch sin números es una opinión. Un pitch sin urgencia es un informe. El executive pitch transforma meses de análisis técnico en una narrativa de decisión que un C-level puede aprobar en 30 minutos. Cada slide, cada dato, cada visual tiene un solo propósito: que el decisor diga "sí" con confianza.

Filosofía de Persuasión Ejecutiva

1. Datos > opiniones. Cada afirmación lleva un número. Cada número lleva una fuente o supuesto explícito. Sin números no hay credibilidad. [EXPLICIT]
2. Costo de inacción > costo de acción. El anchor no es el precio — es lo que pasa si NO se actúa. La urgencia no se declara, se demuestra con el burn rate de inacción. [EXPLICIT]
3. Opciones, no mandatos. 3 opciones con trade-offs claros. El decisor elige — el consultor recomienda con evidencia, no con presión. [EXPLICIT]

Conditional Logic by Audience

IF decision-maker is CFO:
  -> Lead with financial case: NPV, IRR, payback, cost avoidance
  -> Minimize technical detail; focus on financial metrics

IF decision-maker is CTO:
  -> Lead with technical modernization and risk reduction
  -> Include architecture summary; tech debt elimination path

IF decision-maker is CEO:
  -> Lead with strategic alignment and competitive advantage
  -> Market positioning, capability expansion, board-ready narrative

IF decision-maker is Board:
  -> Lead with governance, fiduciary responsibility, risk-adjusted ROI
  -> Include sensitivity analysis and worst-case scenarios

IF budget > $1M:
  -> Add sensitivity analysis: +/-20% cost, +/-10% timeline variance
  -> Include phased funding gates

IF budget > $5M:
  -> Add board-level governance section
  -> Quarterly re-calibration gates mandatory
  -> Kill criteria explicit per phase

Financial Modeling

• NPV: Sum[(Year N benefit - Year N cost) / (1 + discount_rate)^N]. Discount rate: 10-15% for enterprise tech.
• IRR: Internal rate of return where NPV = 0. Target >25% for 3-year payback.
• Payback Period: Months until cumulative benefits = cumulative costs. Target <12 months.
• Sensitivity Analysis: +/-20% cost variance and +/-10% benefit variance on payback/NPV.
• Break-Even: What adoption rate or efficiency gain needed to break even.

Every financial input must cite its source or state its assumption explicitly. [EXPLICIT]

Persuasion Architecture (PAS)

1. Problem: Quantified pain metrics (current state numbers)
2. Agitate: Emotional impact + cost of inaction (monthly burn rate of inaction)
3. Solve: Proposed solution with clear benefits and ROI

Anchoring: Show worst-case first (inaction cost), then recommended option. Social proof: Industry benchmarks, peer company results. Urgency: Cost of delay quantified per month.

7-Section Delivery Structure

Section 1: Executive Summary (Hero)

3-4 hero KPIs: Cost Savings, Timeline, ROI Payback, Risk Reduction. 150-word narrative: opportunity, urgency, recommendation. [EXPLICIT]

Section 2: Problem Statement & Current Pain

Business impact metrics table (current vs target vs gap vs annual impact). Pain points severity-rated (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM). Root cause analysis (technical, process, resource). Cost of inaction table (3-year projection). [EXPLICIT]

Section 3: Strategic Value — 4-Pillar Proposition

Four value cards: Cost Reduction, Revenue Acceleration, Risk Mitigation, Technical Modernization. Each with metric, mechanism, ROI timeline, Year 1 impact. Cumulative 3-year financial metrics (TCO, NPV, IRR, payback). [EXPLICIT]

Section 4: Approach Comparison (3+ Options)

Comparison matrix: Do Nothing vs Alternative vs Recommended. Dimensions: upfront cost, annual cost, 3-year TCO, payback, risk reduction, tech debt, scalability, compliance, velocity, implementation risk. Each option with pros/cons/outcome/financial impact. [EXPLICIT]

Section 5: Investment Summary

Timeline and team table. Budget breakdown card (services, infrastructure, contingency, monthly burn). Phased investment table with gates. [EXPLICIT]

Section 6: Call to Action & Decision Framework

What we ask for (approach, budget range, timeline, decision deadline). Approval checklist (CFO, CTO, business sponsor, steering). Next steps timeline (week-by-week post-approval). Cost of delay (monthly consequences). [EXPLICIT]

Section 7: Risk Assessment & Mitigation

Risk table: probability, impact, mitigation, owner. Linked to findings from prior analysis phases. [EXPLICIT]

Edge Cases

• No CFO exists: Lead with operational metrics (time savings, reduced risk) not NPV.
• Budget pre-approved: Skip financial justification; focus on execution confidence.
• Competitor actively pitching: Add competitive urgency section.
• Multiple conflicting decision-makers: Generate value cards per stakeholder concern.
• Non-technical executive audience: Zero jargon; business outcomes only; no architecture diagrams.
• No prior phases completed: Use industry benchmarks for all metrics; flag everything as estimated.
• Tiny budget (<$200K): Simplify to 3-section pitch (problem, solution, ask). Skip sensitivity analysis.

Trade-off Matrix

Decision	Option A	Option B	When to Choose A	When to Choose B
Length	3-page executive summary	15-page full business case	Time-constrained C-level; board pre-read	CFO deep-dive; formal procurement process
Projections	Aggressive (best-case)	Conservative (worst-case)	Competitive pitch; need to win mindshare	Risk-averse board; regulated industry
Tone	Push (prescriptive "do this")	Pull (consultative options)	Single decision-maker; clear mandate	Multiple stakeholders; consensus culture
Financial depth	Summary metrics (NPV, payback)	Full model (sensitivity, Monte Carlo)	CEO/CTO audience; budget < $1M	CFO/Board audience; budget > $5M

Assumptions & Limits

• Financial inputs (current costs, savings projections) sourced from prior phases or stated as assumptions
• NPV/IRR calculations use stated discount rate; sensitivity analysis covers variance
• Cannot replace financial auditor review for actual investment decisions
• Persuasion architecture is ethical: no misleading data, no false urgency, no suppressed risks
• Audience-specific framing adjusts emphasis, not facts
