4.1 Direct Costs
Stipends/Salaries (per location band).
Training investment (content, labs, certifications), mentor allocation (explicit %).
Tech & licenses (IDE/copilot, cloud credits, analytics).
4.2 Indirect Costs
Mentor time and billability impact; clarify charging model (BU-funded vs central).
Onboarding/admin (IT setup, compliance, HR ops).
Facilities (seats, devices) for physical cohorts.
4.3 Funding Models (options)
BU-funded per seat, tied to forecasted roles.
Central seed + BU co-pay (recommended for first wave).
Client co-sponsorship for capstone/POC where appropriate.
Key Decision for Governance
Choose funding model and mentor time accounting (e.g., capped % counted as pre-approved enablement).
