From a governance perspective, the existence of the following types of document would provide some assurance that effective decision-making was in place:

- A standard methodology for costing applied consistently across all proposals

- A standard approach to evaluating the benefits of proposals in relation to their cost.
- Periodic reviews of on-going services
