Line 199: − •'''Upfront''' activities occur one time per affected stakeholder. The impacts are assumed to occur at the start of each period. Example: affected stakeholders must spend $100 on a piece of equipment (one time only). Important point: although upfront costs only occur one time per affected stakeholder, that does not mean that they only appear in one year of the analysis. If there is a positive stakeholder growth rate, that means new businesses are entering the market over time, and they incur the upfront costs too. Example: if you have a stakeholder growth rate the see new entrants every year, there would be upfront cost appearing in every year throughout the analytical period.+ + +

Important point: although upfront costs only occur one time per affected stakeholder, that does not mean that they only appear in one year of the analysis. If there is a positive stakeholder growth rate, that means new businesses are entering the market over time, and they incur the upfront costs too. Example: if you have a 1% stakeholder growth rate then there will be new entrants every year, and there would be upfront cost appearing in every year throughout the analytical period.
'''Ongoing:''' activities can happen multiple times per stakeholder, on a recurring basis at some specific frequency throughout the analytical period. These impacts are assumed to occur at the end of each period. An example of an ongoing activity is stakeholders submitting a report to the government 3 times per year (and 3 times per year over 10 years means this activity would happen 30 times).
