Budget Request Justification

Write a budget request for {{amount}} for {{purpose}} to {{approver}}. Justify it with the business need and the outcome it enables, the expected return or what it prevents, the alternatives and why this is the right level, the consequences of not funding it, and the accountability for results. Lead with the value not the number, be specific and honest, and make it easy for an approver to say yes with confidence. Note the riskiest assumption to address.
