1. A system comprising:
- a project screening subsystem; and
a capital allocation subsystem selectively and communicatively coupled to said project screening subsystem;
wherein said project screening subsystem is configured to aggregate project data corresponding to a plurality of potential projects within an organization and communicate said project data to said capital allocation subsystem; and
wherein said capital allocation subsystem is configured tofacilitate input of one or more constraints on allocation of capital among said potential projects; and
adjust at least one of said constraints to select a subset of said potential projects for said allocation of said capital such that a return on said capital is optimized.

Abstract
In an exemplary system, a capital allocation subsystem is selectively and communicatively coupled to a project screening subsystem. The project screening subsystem is configured to aggregate project data corresponding to a plurality of potential projects within an organization and communicate the project data to the capital allocation subsystem. The capital allocation subsystem is configured to facilitate input of one or more constraints on allocation of capital among the potential projects and adjust at least one of the constraints to select a subset of the potential projects for the allocation of the capital such that a return on the capital is optimized.

14. A method comprising:
-
analyzing project data corresponding to a plurality of potential projects within an organization; facilitating input of one or more constraints on allocation of capital among said potential projects; using said constraints to determine at least one marginal project among said potential projects; and adjusting at least one of said constraints to select a subset of said potential projects for said allocation of said capital such that a return on said capital is optimized. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
