LinkedIn Post 09: Cost of Inaction
The investment required to implement SVGA is modest.
Outcome measurement: 0.5-1% of project budget over 2-5 years.
Community engagement: £250k-£500k for a £50m project.
Model transparency: Documented assumptions, no new data collection.
Counterfactual thinking: Using existing methodology and historical data.
Total: Roughly 1-2% of project budget for governance infrastructure.
The cost of inaction? Mis-allocated public resources based on inflated social value estimates. The compounded waste across dozens of projects is orders of magnitude larger.
SVGA is cost-effective governance.
