Transcript
Writing a public sector business case shouldn’t take months.
But for most teams, it still does.
The UK public sector spends over 1.7 billion pounds a year producing them.
Weeks of drafting.
Backlogs of approvals.
There has to be a better way.
Meet Business Case Guru.
It writes complete public sector business cases in days, not weeks.
First you provide project information.
Describe your project.
Add your budget, location, and sector.
The system searches gov.uk to flag which policy frameworks apply and which it can reference.
Upload your evidence.
Then save.
With project information complete, BCG generates the Strategic Case for you to review and edit.
Real citations, real funding numbers, real policy references.
The user approves each section until the Strategic Case is completed, then moves onto the other cases.
And the same for every other case—Economic, Commercial, Financial, Management.
BCG generates the strategic case, section by section.
You review and approve every step.
A complete business case, all Green Book aligned, built with you in control.
And you can export to share a draft whenever you like, at any stage.
Complete audit trail, ready when you need it.
Faster business cases, done in days.
Fully Green Book compliant.
Built on the Five Case Model, trusted by UK public sector teams.

The Five Case Model
One guided environment. Five connected cases.
Economic case
Which option delivers the strongest public value after costs, benefits and risk are considered?
Commercial case
Can the required services and capability be sourced and contracted effectively?
Financial case
Is the preferred option affordable, and what are its funding and accounting implications?
Management case
Can the proposal be delivered, governed, monitored and evaluated successfully?
Security and assurance

Questions decision-makers ask
Straight answers.
How does BCG work?
+
BCG guides users through HM Treasury’s Five Case Model step by step. Upload project documents, use BCG to generate structured draft content, refine it using Ask BCG, approve each section and export a compliant business case to Word and Excel.
Who is BCG for?
+
BCG is designed for public-sector bodies and arm’s-length bodies; research organisations; NHS bodies; not-for-profits and charities; and private-sector organisations that use the Five Case Model as a robust approach to investment appraisal.
BCG vs generic AI tools?
+
Unlike generic AI assistants such as Copilot, BCG combines decades of business-case expertise with purpose-built AI. It embeds Five Case Model structure, Green Book logic, traceable evidence and human approval rather than simply generating prose.
How fast can I produce a business case?
+
Business cases that would normally take weeks or months can be developed in days—or, for some stages, hours—with AI-powered drafting, structured workflows and compliance support.
How does BCG ensure compliance?
+
BCG is aligned with HM Treasury’s Five Case Model and Green Book guidance. Built-in structure and guardrails support consistent, high-quality outputs, while users retain responsibility for reviewing and approving every section.
Does BCG meet security requirements?
+
Yes. BCG is hosted in UK AWS regions, is UK and EU GDPR-compliant, uses encryption and is aligned with the NCSC Cloud Security Principles. Customer data is not shared with third parties or used to train AI models. Security compliance information is available on request.
How do I get started?
+
Request a focused demonstration by contacting our team. We will tailor the conversation to your organisation, business-case stage and timescale. Onboarding includes training and support tailored to your organisation.
How is BCG priced?
+
Pricing reflects the number of licences, expected scale of use and the training or consultancy support required. We will recommend the most proportionate option after a short discovery call rather than forcing organisations into a generic package.
Can we run a pilot before wider adoption?
+
Yes. A guided pilot can test BCG on a suitable live case, establish the time and resource savings, and give users practical experience before a wider rollout.
What support is included?
+
BCG onboarding can include user training, facilitated working sessions and access to experienced business-case practitioners. The level of support is agreed around your team’s capability and the complexity of the case.
What outputs can BCG produce?
+
BCG produces structured Five Case Model content, option appraisals, cost and benefit tables and value-for-money conclusions. Approved content can be exported to Word and Excel for review and assurance.
How does procurement work?
+
We can provide the information public-sector procurement, information-governance and security teams need to assess BCG. Email enquiries@businesscaseguru.com with any specific procurement or security questions, and our team will respond directly.
