1.3.4.1a - Staff as asset or cost

Compare treating staff as an asset with treating staff as a cost.

Use a - staff as asset or cost to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because a - staff as asset or cost determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply a - staff as asset or cost to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: a - Staff as asset or cost is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
