The SAFe Economic Framework supports investment decisions through:

Prioritizing work by ROI (A): Economic prioritization techniques (such as WSJF or ROI) ensure the highest value work is prioritized.

Requiring lightweight business cases for Epics (B): This ensures sound economic reasoning and justification before large investments are made.

Empowering Product Owners to sequence the Value Stream Backlog (C) is not a portfolio-level economic framework action. Finding Value Streams (D) is part of the implementation roadmap, not ongoing investment decisions.

''The Economic Framework guides decisions by requiring business cases and prioritizing work using economic factors such as ROI.''
