Consider near-term and long-term costs.

Esti­mate costs in two phas­es. For the first phase (1–3 years), pro­vide a real­is­tic esti­mate of costs and capac­i­ty need­ed to imple­ment select­ed strategies.

A lat­er phase (2–5 years) can include more ambi­tious costs and capac­i­ty based on a real­is­tic esti­mate of what it will actu­al­ly take to achieve out­comes over the long term, which can inform fundrais­ing efforts.
