Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB)

Justify every cost from zero Β· Rank by priority (Must / Should / Nice-to-Have) Β· Cut low-value spend

ZBB Philosophy: Unlike incremental budgeting (last year +%), ZBB requires every expense to be justified from scratch each period. This eliminates "budget creep" and forces deliberate prioritisation of spend.
