Since the RCC estimates the stakeholder count in every period, then an annual frequency of 1,200 means that it will estimate the stakeholder count 1,200 times per year (which is more than 3 times per day!). This level of precision may not be warranted based on the historical data you are using to justify your annual stakeholder growth rate. Also, if you are doing the RCC in parallel with a separate CBA spreadsheet, you have probably not set up your main CBA to have 1,200 distinct periods per year, so using a very high frequency may increase the differences between your RCC and CBA results. Although there is nothing mathematically wrong with using a high frequency in the RCC, it can be computationally intensive and it may not be necessary.

If we consider an example where an activity takes 1 hour per occurrence, then if it happens 1,200 times per year it is evident that 1,200 hours per year will be spent on the activity. This can be modelled in several ways, such as:  

If we consider an example where an activity takes 1 hour per occurrence, there are several ways to model it if it happens 1,200 times per year:  

# Frequency = 1,200; Time spent per occurrence = 1 hour

# Frequency = 1,200; Time spent per occurrence = 1 hour
