A case in point is the electric car maker, Tesla. Why invest in Tesla if it keeps losing money? Earnings reports are due and The Street says it is do or die for Tesla among others.

This document which can also be considered a “business case” lays out the fundamental reasons for implementing the project. Here’s a simple guide on creating a project justification. State the Problem Businesses don’t carry out projects for fun; they perform them in order to solve a specific issue or issues. You need to describe the problem clearly and accurately at the start of your document so that you can then present the solution to that problem.
