## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
Let \( x_i \) be the allocated budget for department \( i \), where \( i \in \{1, 2, 3\} \).

#### Objective Function
Maximize the overall efficiency score:
\[
\text{Maximize } Z = 0.7 \cdot \text{ranking}_1 \cdot x_1 + 0.3 \cdot \text{employees}_1 \cdot x_1 + 0.7 \cdot \text{ranking}_2 \cdot x_2 + 0.3 \cdot \text{employees}_2 \cdot x_2 + 0.7 \cdot \text{ranking}_3 \cdot x_3 + 0.3 \cdot \text{employees}_3 \cdot x_3
\]
Assuming the rankings and number of employees are known constants, the objective function can be simplified to:
\[
\text{Maximize } Z = c_1 \cdot x_1 + c_2 \cdot x_2 + c_3 \cdot x_3
\]
where \( c_i = 0.7 \cdot \text{ranking}_i + 0.3 \cdot \text{employees}_i \).

#### Constraints
1. **Total Budget Constraint**:
\[
x_1 + x_2 + x_3 \leq 1000000
\]
2. **Minimum Budget Constraint**:
\[
x_1 \geq 100000, \quad x_2 \geq 80000, \quad x_3 \geq 50000
\]
3. **Maximum Budget Constraint**:
\[
x_1 \leq 300000, \quad x_2 \leq 250000, \quad x_3 \leq 200000
\]

#### Data Source Verification
- **Total Budget**: business_configuration_logic.json (total_budget = 1000000)
- **Minimum Budget**: department_budgets.minimum_budget
- **Maximum Budget**: department_budgets.maximum_budget
- **Efficiency Weights**: business_configuration_logic.json (ranking_weight = 0.7, employees_weight = 0.3)

This formulation provides a complete, immediately solvable LINEAR mathematical model with all numerical coefficients derived from the provided data.
