Might need to explain what do we mean by CIS impact

Added a note about this under Methods & sources

"CIS Impact" will now be user selected so this does not need to be mentioned here

We need to explain these terms to the user: Internal Rate of Return (IRR) What it is: The IRR is the discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of all cash flows (both positive and negative) from a particular project equal to zero. In simpler terms, it's the rate of growth a project is expected to generate. Interpretation: The IRR is used to evaluate the attractiveness of a project or investment. If the IRR of a new project exceeds a company's required rate of return, that project is considered desirable. The higher the IRR, the more desirable the project. Net Present Value (NPV) What it is: NPV is the sum of the present values of incoming and outgoing cash flows over a period of time. It provides a method for evaluating and comparing projects with cash flows spread out over many years, factoring in the time value of money. Interpretation: A positive NPV indicates that the projected earnings (in present dollars) exceed the anticipated costs (also in present dollars), which suggests the investment should be made. Conversely, a negative NPV suggests the investment should not proceed. NPV helps investors assess the profitability of an investment or project. Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) What it is: BCR is a financial ratio that compares the relative costs and benefits of a project. It's calculated by dividing the present value of benefits by the present value of costs. Interpretation: A BCR greater than 1.0 indicates that the project’s benefits outweigh its costs, making it a potentially profitable venture. A BCR below 1.0 suggests the opposite. BCR is useful for comparing projects when resources are limited, allowing for prioritization based on efficiency. Key Differences and What They Tell Us IRR focuses on the rate of return a project generates. It's unique in that it provides a single percentage figure that can easily compare different investments' efficiency. However, it doesn't give you the actual monetary value of the investment's return. NPV gives a dollar value that represents the difference between the present value of cash inflows and outflows. Unlike IRR, it can help you understand the scale of an investment's value, which is crucial when determining the actual profitability of large projects. BCR simplifies investment outcomes to a ratio, which is particularly useful for quick comparisons and decision-making when evaluating multiple projects. It indicates whether the project is worth the investment but, like IRR, doesn't provide the project's value in terms of currency. Each of these indicators plays a vital role in the evaluation process, offering different perspectives on an investment's financial viability. Together, they provide a comprehensive understanding, enabling investors and managers to make well-informed decisions.

I think the user needs a bit more orientation as what this app does and how it does it, here is an idea for some text that can be used in the introduction or broken up and dispersed across the notebook: Use this tool to assess potential returns on agricultural investments by comparing key economic indicators such as Internal Rate of Return, Net Present Value, and Benefit-Cost Ratio. Designed for high-level insights (national, regional, or continental), this tool helps investors gauge the likelihood of net positive economic benefits from their projects. It focuses on projects that introduce innovations to farmers, enhancing crop or livestock yields, reducing climate hazard impacts, and achieving gradual farmer adoption over time. To begin, select target crops and locations. Then, specify project cost and duration. You can also adjust investment impacts by determining yield improvements for adopters, degree of climate hazard reduction (if any) and annual rate of innovation adoption. The tool utilizes the best available production value datasets covering all of sub-Saharan Africa, enabling cross-country, crop, and livestock comparisons. While suitable for macro-scale analysis to determine economic viability and regional differences, the data's applicability diminishes at smaller scales. For projects with defined targets and contexts, we recommend engaging with local communities and governance through participatory approaches to refine investment targeting and design.

y-axis title = "Project Year"

Remove Time Horizon, this removes iffy assumptions about benefits continuing beyond life-cycle of the project, but will make the graph less interesting.

See previous comments on the project years selector.

See previous comments on CIS IMPACT.

Do not extrapolate beyond "Project Years".
