Explanation

A value measurement framework's primary utility in portfolio management is that it enables the portfolio manager to compare expected value across components on a consistent, apples-to-apples basis. This supports prioritization and selection decisions. While a framework may involve scoring (C) or setting baselines (D), those are mechanisms within it-not its core purpose. Showing only tangible benefits (B) would be incomplete, since portfolio value includes both tangible and intangible benefits. The PMI Standard for Portfolio Management emphasizes that value measurement enables comparative analysis of components to optimize the portfolio.
