Instructions

  2. Calculate variances — Identify absolute and percentage variances; flag >5% deviations.
  3. Trend analysis — Chart spending patterns month-over-month; identify inflection points.

  5. Output — Executive summary with supporting variance table, explanations, and forward outlook.

Example

Budget: Q1 salaries $500K actual / $480K forecast (4% favorable). Sales commissions: $150K actual / $120K forecast (25% unfavorable due to higher-than-expected deal velocity). Output: [Variance report with trend analysis and revised full-year forecast]
