Those involved in #ref2021 planning might be interested in this. In fact, I'm surprised I'm the 1st person who's done it. Relative value of 1output v 1 impact case study v 100 words of environment statement in determining final score, based on draft guidance on submissions. [1/2] 
The headline: with the move to 25% of profiles being determined by impact (plus the impact statement being incorporated into the environment statement), one impact case study is now worth between five and 21 times one output (for FTEs of 10 and 200 respectively). #ref2021 [2/2]
Another interesting thing is that even with v large submissions, one case study can account for >2% of final score. That's a lot. Last time, institutions 'massaged' their FTEs according to the number of viable case studies they had. This time they won't be able to. #ref2021 [3/2]
Unless, of course, they decide that #ref2021, & the associated league tables and reputational benefit/damage that follows, are more important than their actual academic work - in which case expect real-world redundancies as HEIs fit their FTE to their impact cases. [4/2]
