Build a defensible
business case

Start with a short description of your initiative. Shastr guides you through the rest. If discovery or options analysis is already complete: upload the relevant documents and Shastr uses them as the starting point. If options analysis has not been completed: Shastr guides you through developing, comparing and selecting the option to take forward. For financial modelling: Shastr identifies the costs and benefits to consider. You provide the figures needed for the calculations and can add additional items where required. For delivery context: you may be asked to provide details such as initiative leaders, governance teams and phase durations. Shastr prepares the remaining analysis, structure and business case outputs for you.

Slide tools are primarily designed to turn content into polished presentations. Shastr builds the thinking and analysis behind the decision. Guides you through a structured business case process Develops options, costs, benefits, risks and execution readiness Uses your organisational and strategic context Produces the full business case, board brief and voice summary from the same analysis Keeps the underlying information structured and reusable beyond the presentation The output is not just a better-looking document. It is a complete investment case.

General-purpose AI can help draft a business case when you provide enough context. Shastr is built specifically to develop, govern and carry that business case through the strategic portfolio. Uses organisational context: strategic goals, priorities, KPIs and existing initiative information can inform the case. Maintains strategic alignment: the initiative remains linked to the goals and KPIs it is intended to advance. Doesn't guess governed inputs: where information is required and cannot be established, Shastr asks you for it rather than treating generated content as fact. Builds the financial model: Shastr identifies relevant costs and benefits and uses the figures you provide to calculate the financial case. Maintains traceability: the analysis, assumptions and outputs remain connected rather than becoming isolated pieces of generated text. Continues beyond the document: once approved, the business case can become an initiative, carrying relevant information into project planning, tracking and reporting. ChatGPT or Claude can help create a document. Shastr connects the investment decision to the strategic portfolio and what happens next.
