How to explain value internally

We already have some of these resources

Then the priority is to assess how well tasks are covered rather than whether access exists: who uses the resource, which scenarios it supports, where gaps remain, and how this relates to KPIs.

It is difficult to justify the budget

We build the case using data, usage, a needs assessment, and implementation scenarios for specific departments.
