T-Chart

This is T-chart template for ConceptDraw software. "T-Chart. A simple way to conduct economic analysis through partial budgeting is with a T-chart. A T-chart systematically identifies only the benefits and costs of a conservation alternative. This technique simplifies data collection and analysis. The T-chart also describes the resource setting, resource concerns and the conservation system. The best information used in the T-chart comes from your client, a discipline specialist’s recommendations, and technical references. ... There can be three levels of analysis using the T-chart: • Level I Includes only qualitative statements • Level II Qualitative statement plus units of measurement and dollars • Level III Complete economic or financial analysis The conservation planner should complete as many T-chart levels as they are comfortable with and then request assistance if the decision maker needs additional analysis. The planner only develops enough information for the client to make an informed decision. The decision maker may lose interest if too much irrelevant information is provided and waste planner’s time. A T-chart can be developed on whatever media the decision maker finds most useful."
