Initial investment
Training, buildings, integration and testing before operation.
Justice package · traceable costing
Costing the Justice Package Without Inventing False Savings
A reform may greatly improve service without immediately reducing the budget. The table must show that rather than hide it.
Four concepts that must remain separate
Recurring cost
Annual staff, maintenance, hosting, audit and support.
Capacity gain
More cases processed or backlog reduced without an automatic budget cut.
Net saving
Demonstrated expenditure avoided after new recurring costs.
Core formulas
Total transition cost = initial investment + temporary parallel-operation costs
Net budget saving = demonstrated avoided expenditure − new recurring costs
Why “to be assessed” is a serious answer
Do not invent a price to fill a table. Where licence volumes, property costs, training or maintenance are not established, the matrix deliberately keeps “to be assessed”.
