## Who should fill it out?

This template is built for the person making the internal case for platform exit. That might include:

![Monitor-Screen](https://rtcamp.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/Monitor-Screen.svg)**Head of Digital or Product Owner** building the migration case.

## Why download it?

You already know the current platform needs to go. Now you need to convince the people who control budget, risk, and timing.

This template helps you walk into that meeting with a business case: TCO comparison, Platform Tax estimate, migration risk answers, timeline expectations, and pre-written responses to the objections your committee will raise.

Read it and fill it in before your leadership meeting to show what staying costs, what moving changes, and how the migration can happen without disrupting the live site.
