CRISI / FRA · BCA triage

Triage the BCA before the application clock starts.

Most CRISI applications die at the BCA. This is a free triage tool that returns BCR and NPV at both 7% and 3% discount rates over a 30-year analysis period. If your project does not cross 1.0 with conservative inputs here, the application will not survive FRA review.

Triage tool · not an engineering BCA · sources required for any submitted application

What this is

  • 30-year analysis period (FRA convention)
  • Primary 7% + sensitivity 3% real discount rates
  • FRA-eligible benefit categories: safety, SOGR, emissions, congestion, reliability
  • Salvage value at end of analysis period
  • Downloadable triage summary (.txt)

What this is NOT

  • A defensible BCA. Inputs need sourced ranges.
  • Engineering judgment. This screens, it does not certify.
  • A guarantee of award. CRISI is competitive.

CRISI / FRA Benefit-Cost Analysis triage

Test the BCA before you pay for the engineering BCA.

Triage your project under both 7% (primary) and 3% (sensitivity) discount rates over a 30-year analysis period. Inputs sourced and ranges defended is the engineering work; this is the screen.
