A programme spends \( 5 \) per cent of its budget in conceptual design but commits \( 65 \) per cent of the lifetime cost. The ratio of commitment to spend is

  • A.6.5 to 1
  • B.1 to 13
  • C.13 to 1
  • D.3 to 1

Answer: C

Correct answer: 13 to 1

The ratio is

\[ \frac{65}{5} = 13 \]

Every pound spent in conceptual design decides the fate of thirteen. It is the quantitative statement of why the phase deserves its senior people and its analytical effort: decisions here are nearly free to change and enormously expensive to change later.
