# CWICR Comparison Tool

## Business Case

### Problem Statement
Project stakeholders need to compare:
- Alternative design options
- Estimate versions over time
- Projects against benchmarks
- Actual vs estimated costs

### Solution
Structured comparison of CWICR-based estimates with variance analysis, benchmarking, and visual reporting.

### Business Value
- **Decision support** - Compare alternatives objectively
- **Version control** - Track estimate evolution
- **Benchmarking** - Compare against standards
- **Audit** - Document estimate changes
