English term or phrase: working them backward
Based on the findings, each county park bathroom was given a letter grade. F-graded facilities were pegged first for a needs assessment and, if need be, repair or replacement, and were followed in order by Ds, Cs, Bs and As. Black's department approached the county's governing board armed with the knowledge that renovating the 11 existing F-graded bathrooms would cost $862,000. "Grading them and {working them backward} is the key to addressing these kinds of infrastructure issues," says Black. "Nothing gets skipped over. The most important thing is getting that line item in your budget — the policy-makers and the people setting your budget can see that you're working systematically."
