+
+## Purpose
+
+A Business Case justifies why a project should proceed by articulating value, cost, risk, and scope. Its quality determines whether decision-makers can approve or reject the initiative on a sound, verifiable basis rather than assumptions.
+
+## Quality Criteria Checklist
+
+Level: **Mandatory** criteria are the baseline every instance must meet; **Optional** criteria are advanced and may be deferred.
+
+| # | Criterion | Level | ISO/IEC 25010 Characteristic(s) | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | ROI/Cost-Benefit analysis is quantitative, or where qualitative, is explicitly justified | Mandatory | Functional Suitability | |
+| 2 | Risks are identified with documented impact and mitigation | Mandatory | Reliability | |
+| 3 | Success criteria are measurable, stating explicit targets rather than vague aspirations | Mandatory | Functional Suitability | |
+| 4 | Scope explicitly separates In Scope vs Out of Scope | Mandatory | Functional Suitability | |
+| 5 | Stakeholders are cross-referenced to Stakeholder Analysis IDs rather than re-described inline | Mandatory | Maintainability | |
+| 6 | Methodology and quality-standard foundation are stated explicitly (e.g. ISO/IEC 25010, Larman) | Optional | Compatibility | |
+| 7 | Assumptions and constraints are explicit and clearly distinguished from one another | Mandatory | Functional Suitability | |
+| 8 | Document supports executive decision-making with a clear, unambiguous recommendation | Mandatory | Usability | |
+
+## Common Defects
+
+- Reinventing stakeholder roles instead of cross-referencing Stakeholder Analysis stakeholder IDs
+- Missing Metadata/Version History tables
+- No CrossReference to related artifacts (e.g. Stakeholder Analysis)
+- Success criteria stated as aspirations without measurable targets
+- Risks listed without corresponding mitigations
+
+## Traceability Rule
+
+- Backward: Links to the Stakeholder Analysis checklist ([QC-SA-001]) for stakeholder interests and RACI-relevant IDs.
+- Forward: Feeds into the KPI Definitions ([QC-KPI-001]), BPMN Process Model ([QC-BPMN-001]), Use Case Diagram ([QC-UCD-001]), and Business Model Canvas ([QC-BMC-001]) checklists.
