Try to get CEO's vision
As Raelayne said, it is always good to ask your boss and get the big picture, instead of just trying to impress him with your statistics.
1. Now, since your boss is a CEO, you cannot assume that he gave you some fancy assignment.
Certainly, he must be looking out for a better tomorrow, from your organization's point of view.
May be, he wants to expand the organization much more than what it is right now.
2. Technical aspects of your assignment, as you have thoroughly worked out, must be put in a very presentable format, with all the other possible alternatives and cost details.
3. Put forth your ideas to your boss, not to force your ideas on him, but to give him adequate information, for he may ask you a couple of questions, and wish to make a workable plan altogether. Mind you, his time is very valuable for your organization, so keep everything crisp and consize.
4. Make it a point that the presentation of your ideas don't irritate him, however realistic they are. After all, you can not risk your job for simple reasons.
All the best.
