Description
Subtract baselineBenefit from observedBenefit and multiply by attributionFraction.
Realized benefit can be modeled as an observed change multiplied by attribution and realization fractions. Those fractions express assumptions rather than independently measured causation.
Subtract baselineBenefit from observedBenefit and multiply by attributionFraction.
When to use this tool
Use Benefits Realization Attribution Share when you need an explicit benefits-accounting contribution.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter observedBenefit, baselineBenefit, attributionFraction, realizedFraction. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read attributableIncrement, realizedBenefit. Use the output convention below.
Subtract baselineBenefit from observedBenefit and multiply by attributionFraction. Multiply again by realizedFraction for realizedBenefit.1

| realizedFraction | Realized Fraction | Required. Finite number; minimum 0; maximum 1. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Both fractions are in [0, 1]; attribution and realization are supplied assumptions, not causal estimates or audited benefits.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Verify the baseline and attribution evidence and review realized outcomes against the complete business case.
