Shortlist appraisal follows and is at the heart of detailed appraisal, where expected costs and benefits are estimated, and trade-offs are considered. This analysis is intimately interconnected to the, Strategic, Commercial, Financial, and Management dimensions of the five case model, none of which can be developed or appraised in isolation. The use of Social Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) or Social Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) are the means by which cost, and benefit trade-offs, are considered. Where relevant place based effects, and the duties placed on public officials by the Equality Act 2010 and effects on families’ when applying the family test 2010 and significant income distribution effects must be included proportionately in appraisal as set out in this guidance. Where they are not relevant a short explanation of why must be provided. 2.4 Shortlist appraisal fraud risk – there are clear rules and duties of due diligence which must be adhered to when awarding purchasing contracts or other decisions (such as the awarding of grants). This must be considered at an early stage in the process of longlist analysis and the design of the proposal must take into account proportionate counter measures as set out in more detail in Annex 5. From this early stage how a proposal fits with wider public policy and any potential impacts on the operations, responsibilities or budgets of other public bodies must be considered. Consultation and cooperative working between public bodies supports effective and efficient delivery of public services and avoids unnecessary waste and inefficiencies. On November 7, 2018, during a promotional panel discussion, Mortensen said the word " nigger." He prefaced the sentence with, "I don't like saying this word," and went on to compare dialogue "that's no longer common in conversation" to the period in which the film is set. Mortensen apologized the next day, saying that "my intention was to speak strongly against racism" and that he was "very sorry that I did use the full word last night, and will not utter it again."

The strategic dimension is where external constraints that a proposal must work within are considered, for example, legal, ethical, political, or technological factors. External dependencies must also be identified, such as necessary infrastructure over which the proposal has no control.optimism bias – this is the proven tendency for appraisers to be optimistically biased about key project parameters, including capital costs and operating costs, project duration, and resulting benefits delivery. Optimistic rather than realistic projections result in undeliverable targets and if permitted across the board create institutional failure as all proposals fall consistently far short of promised results. For this reason, specific optimism bias adjustments must be applied at the start of the process as numbers are initially identified. As proposal specific risks are identified they must be entered into the risk register explained in Chapter 5. As ways of avoiding, sharing or mitigating risks are identified and included in a proposal optimism bias can be proportionately reduced. Initial optimism bias levels recommended by the Green Book must be employed unless the organisation concerned has their own robust alternative estimates based on sufficient reliable data from similar projects. Managing, avoiding, sharing and mitigating risk is the key to successful delivery of well designed proposals, points to note are:

Programmes initiate, align and monitor the constituent projects and related activities needed to deliver outputs that will produce the anticipated outcomes of the programme. These outputs may consist of new products, new or improved services, or changes to business operations. It is not until the projects deliver and implement the required output changes that the outcomes that cause the benefits of the programme can be realised. This guidance should be applied proportionately. The resources and effort employed should be related to costs, benefits and risks involved to society and to the public sector as a result of the proposals under consideration. A Project is a temporary organisation that is needed to produce a specific predefined output or result at a pre-specified time using predetermined resources. Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2 guidance defines a project as ‘a management environment that is created for the purpose of delivering one or more business products according to a specified business case’.

The changes in services in the above example are expected to result in changes in economic and social outcomes. At each level of decision making the application of appraisal takes account of the wider context of which the proposal is a part. Appraisal should be proportionate to the costs and risks involved to both the public sector and to the public i.e. to society. The levels at which decisions occur are explained in more detail in Chapter 3. 2.2 Rationale Shortlist appraisal is where the expected costs and benefits of an intervention are estimated, including the cost of risks and risk management, it is where the trade-off between them is considered. Where there is a clear difference in the social costs and benefits between alternative shortlisted options Social Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) is used. Where there is no measurable social difference between options then Social Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) is appropriate. Both of these are explained in more detail in Chapter 5. in the operational phase – inform both operational management and evaluate the outcome and lessons learned to improve future decisions.In government appraisal costs and benefits are discounted using the social time preference rate as explained in Chapter 5 and paragraphs 5.32 to 5.39 as well as Annex 5. The reason for social discounting is to allow proposals of different lengths and with different profiles of net costs and benefits over time to be compared on a common basis. For reasons explained in Chapter 5 it does not need to be concerned with the cost of capital which is dealt with elsewhere by other means. Selecting the preferred option and public value for money
