Which question would a government leader most likely ask when using a cost-benefit analysis to make a decision?

A cost-benefit analysis helps a leader weigh the costs and benefits of a decision, including its effects on people and society. Asking how the decision will affect people and society connects directly to that evaluation. Whether the analysis is accurate or the best tool may matter, but those questions are about the analysis itself rather than the decision’s consequences.
