Inputs are inconsistent
Different cost dates, planning bases and return assumptions make side-by-side metrics misleading.

The comparison problem
Different formats create false differences between deals.
One sponsor leads with IRR, another with density and another with a planning narrative. Teams spend time normalizing the submission before they can compare the decision.

Trade-offs disappear
A higher return can hide greater approval risk, capital demand or delivery time.
The rationale is fragile
The reason one deal advanced often lives in a meeting rather than the decision record.
One comparison standard
Compare the complete development case—not isolated metrics.
Every option is tested against the same organization benchmark and peer set.
Normalize the basis
Align measurement, cost date, timing, financial assumptions and risk classifications.
Apply the benchmark
Measure each option against program, land basis, return, planning and delivery thresholds.
Expose trade-offs
Show where capacity, return, risk, timing and capital move in different directions.
Record the choice
Keep the preferred option, alternatives and recommendation rationale together.
Preferred opportunity
Select the strongest case with the trade-offs understood.
The recommendation shows why Maple Avenue remains preferred even though another site offers a larger headline program.
