+The workflow evaluates projects using a **rolling horizon** approach where the full year is divided into sequential weekly windows (168 hourly snapshots each, with an overlap of 1 snapshot). An overview of the CBA rules is documented at [CBA rules](cba_rules.md).
 
 To resolve **myopia**—where the optimizer cannot see beyond the current week and makes suboptimal decisions for seasonal storage (H2, gas, large hydro)—the workflow uses Marginal Storage Values (MSV) derived from a full-year optimization.

+# Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA)
+
+The Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) workflow is implemented in `rules/cba.smk`. Rules are organised into stages: `Retrieve`, `Build MSV`, `Build rolling horizon`, `Postprocess` and `Benchmark`. In addition, a `Collect` stage provides convenient target rules that run the workflow up to a specific stage, aggregating each stage's output across all configured wildcards.

+## Retrieve
+
+### Rule `retrieve_tyndp_cba_projects`
+
+Downloads the CBA project explorer dataset, containing project definitions.
+
+### Rule `retrieve_tyndp_cba_non_co2_emissions`
+
+Downloads non-CO₂ emission factors (NOx, SO₂, PM, etc.) used to compute B4 indicators.
+
+### Rule `retrieve_cba_guidelines_reference_projects`
+
+Downloads the CBA Implementation Guidelines reference project table

+with CBA project definitions.
+
+### Rule `retrieve_presolved_sb_networks`
+
+Downloads pre-solved SB networks from a previous Open-TYNDP release for use as CBA inputs
+when `cba.cba_scenario_input.use_presolved` is `true`.
