Is one variable not discussed here value of information? As a consultant for the past 10+ years, a good report had to pass the weight test to ensure you could demonstrate that you had done the detailed analysis on all potential facets. A 20+ page report ensured this test was passed. These days, if I presented a 20 page report, no one would read it. I generally look for a maximum of 5 pages with an ideal of 2 pages. Welcome to the time poor society. So in this analysis, how do we measure the value of information? This is obviously very subjective.
