Why safety loses the budget fight

Most safety arguments die in the same room for the same reason. This pack diagnoses why prevented harm is unpersuasive to a finance function, shows where safety spend physically disappears inside a P&L, and gives you the two questions your ask has to answer before it gets a hearing.
