Cost avoidance covers program cost…with room to spare

Estimate, not a promise. Cost avoidance depends on competitive sourcing and a documented baseline; there is no published industry rate, so the 2.8% default is a benchmark median. Build the defensible figure on your own data with the toolkit's Cost-Avoidance Rate Builder.
