Business case definitely covers initial thinking on costs.

Funding approach seems more about money sources.

I feel the Programme brief is too early for costs.

The business case? More like the "business crazy" if you ask me. But hey, that's where the costs are, so C it is.

C) Business case is the answer. Gotta love those spreadsheets full of cold, hard numbers.

I'm going with C) Business case. Sounds like the right place to find those juicy cost details.

The business case is the way to go, it's the document that lays out the financial nitty-gritty.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think the business case was the answer, but I’m second-guessing myself now.

The programme mandate seems like it could be relevant, but I feel like it’s more about the overall goals than the costs.

I remember we discussed the programme brief in class, but I can't recall if it specifically covers costs.

I think the 'first draft' thinking might be in the business case, but I'm not entirely sure.

The business case seems like the logical choice, but I want to make sure I'm not missing something in the other options. I'll review each one carefully before selecting my final answer.

Based on my understanding, the business case is where you'd find the detailed financial analysis and projections, including the initial cost estimates. That's probably the best answer here.

I'm a bit unsure on this one. The program brief or mandate might also include some high-level cost information. I'll need to double-check the definitions of each document type.

Definitely C) Business case. That's where they'll have the real numbers, not just the fluff.

I'm pretty confident the business case would be the document that records the initial cost estimates and analysis. That's typically where you'd find the early planning around budgets and funding.

Hmm, this one seems a bit tricky. I'll need to carefully review the key documents to determine which one would likely contain the 'first draft' thinking on costs.
