Pick a budget and a health-effects anchor. See which portfolio still wins.
The analyses answer two different questions over two different horizons.
The first-year screen asks whether one year of monetized health benefit covers
the upfront program cost. The 30-year decision analysis asks which portfolio
has the best discounted value and remains preferable under uncertainty.
Portfolio D is unfavorable in the first-year screen but becomes the
regret-minimizing choice over the 30-year decision horizon.
Those are different questions, not competing versions of the same number.
The long-horizon result was then tested across six uncertainty axes and

uncertainty draws. Switch to the Krewski 2009 or Di 2017 anchors and some cells gray out
— we don’t disaggregate per-portfolio net benefit at those
anchors. What’s available is shown; nothing is fabricated.

Caveat
First-year columns are a one-year benefit-versus-upfront-cost screen. The 30-year columns apply discounted recurring benefits. Use the horizon that matches the decision; do not compare their probability values as though they came from one model run.
