KOMSA — Maritime Safety Policy Impact Assessment

Maritime safety policy impact assessment. Integrated comparison of cost-effectiveness, budget impact, and uncertainty across policy alternatives with audit-ready Decision Packet.

Problem

When formulating maritime safety policies, there was no framework to comprehensively compare the effectiveness, costs, and risks of multiple alternatives. Policy evidence was fragmented, making decision transparency and audit response difficult.

Decision to Make

Among proposed maritime safety policy alternatives, which has the highest cost-effectiveness? What are the budget impacts and risks of each alternative?

Inputs (Data)

1Expected cost data for each policy alternative
2Maritime safety policy effectiveness estimates
3Budget constraints and annual expenditure plans
4Key uncertainty factors
5Decision criteria (thresholds, priorities)

Approach

Calculated ICER for each policy alternative through CEA and ranked them. Predicted annual fiscal requirements through BIA and presented uncertainty ranges through PSA. Integrated all analysis results into a single Decision Packet and transparently documented falsifiability by specifying 'What would change my mind' conditions.

Deliverables

Decision Brief (1-2p) - Policy recommendation and key evidence
Method Memo - Analysis methodology and assumptions
Transparency Page - 'What would change my mind' conditions and sensitivity analysis results

Result

Provided integrated decision document with cost-effectiveness comparison and sensitivity analysis across policy alternatives. Established policy rationale transparency and systematic documentation for audit response.

Time-to-Value

2-week diagnostic + 4-week analysis
