Thanks for the clarification, but Iâm still not sure I understand. I think your argument is:
CEA has projects that are worth funding (say, arbitrarily, our comms team)
Additionally, we have projects that are not worth funding (in particular: the Forum)
However to make the case for marginal funding stronger we are presenting the stuff thatâs worth funding as âmarginalâ, and stating that the stuff thatâs not worth funding isnât âmarginalâ.
Is that correct?
If so, Iâm confused because the Forum is included in the list of marginal projects, which seems to violate (3).
Maybe alternatively you are saying:
3â˛. To make the case for marginal funding stronger we are presenting BOTECs about projects other than the Forum
But again this doesnât seem right to me because one of the BOTECs was about the forum.
I donât think you can justify a $2M/âyear expenditure with an $11k/âyear BOTEC ($38/âhour * 6 hours/âweek * 52 weeks), because I think that the correct level at which expenditure in the forum should be considered marginal is closer to $1M/âyear than $10k/âyear.
