Why each option
Opportunities to prioritize requirements is not a standard component of a business case and should not be included by Rachel.
Time to break even is a standard financial component of a business case, providing management with the timeline to recover the investment cost.
Requirements prioritization is a separate business analysis activity that occurs during solution development, not during business case creation. The business case is a strategic document used to justify an investment decision, and it does not contain requirements management activities such as prioritization. Including a requirements prioritization component would conflate the business case's purpose with later-stage planning activities.
Follow-on opportunities are a recognized business case component that identifies future value or initiatives that could stem from the current investment.
Qualitative and quantitative benefits are standard business case components that justify the investment by documenting both measurable and non-measurable value to be realized.
