Put a cost
on the
constraint.
Explore the economics of one airport weather intervention using your own costs, addressable exposure and explicit performance assumptions.

All defaults are invented examples. Replace them with your own records. A research-stage intervention can have zero effect; test that scenario before treating a forecast benefit as a budget.
What this scenario implies
Count the benefit
the buyer can capture.
Annual gross savings = disruption hours × hourly cost × addressable share × assumed effectiveness.
Annual net = gross savings − running cost.
Annualized surplus = annual net − upfront cost / useful life.
Break-even effectiveness = (running cost + upfront cost / useful life) / addressable annual exposure. A result above 100% cannot work under these inputs. With no addressable exposure, the fraction is undefined.
No discounting, tax, insurance recovery, residual value or financing is included. Aircraft damage needs a separate expected-loss model; do not insert the total value of an aircraft as a recurring loss. Airline delay costs, airport revenues and passenger welfare belong to different stakeholders.
