I have been asked to present the ‘costs’ of my network. The direct costs, such as infrastructure and staff costs solely dedicated to support the network, are easy to identify, but the indirect costs are not. Identifying and quantifying indirect costs is complicated by the fact that the economics of scarcity do not apply: assets can be dedicated to simultaneous use (hence the use of ‘costs’ in quotation marks).
My question is how to pursuasively present the ‘costs’ of a network.
