SLH: done

SLH: changed: "For organizations that are concerned about meeting multiple standards, it can be effective to include in the business case more detail on the overlap between standards. For example, the business case could include an appendix that shows the similarities and differences between the different standards." to "For organizations that are concerned about meeting multiple standards, it can be effective to include in the business case detail on the overlap between standards. For example, an appendix that shows the similarities between the different standards can illustrate where it is not much more effort to meet multiple standards."
