Budget Build-Up
Cost-line segments stack one above another up a single column and the running-total rule climbs with each of them until the column reaches the approved total.
Cost-line segments stack one above another up a single column and the running-total rule climbs with each of them until the column reaches the approved total.
The unspent remainder of the closing period lifts over the year boundary and lands as the opening balance of the next, raising its ceiling.
The annual total bar drains from the left as period columns fill beneath it along the seasonality profile, bar and columns always summing to the same total.
The cash balance line steepens and flattens against the zero rule while the runway caliper slides along the axis to wherever the line now crosses it.
A stepped cost target descends period by period and the tracking marker walks down the staircase, lifting off the tread wherever actual spend overruns it.
A driver dial turns to a new setting and the modelled cost column follows it through the linkage, rising and settling at the value the driver implies.
Ranked driver bars open left and right of the base-case axis to their downside and upside impact, the widest driver settling at the top of the tornado.
A fixed total ring is divided into allocation arcs and one arc takes share from its neighbour, the two meeting exactly at the moving boundary.
Forecast-versus-actual points scatter either side of the parity diagonal and draw in toward it as each period's estimate is corrected.
Three unit columns feed along connectors into the group total column, which steps up as each unit's figure arrives.
Actuals to date hold fixed and the forecast tail pivots about the break point onto a new landing value, the superseded tail fading behind it.
A horizon window slides one period along a strip of cells, the cell it leaves hardening into actual and a fresh forecast cell opening at the leading edge.
Low, base and high trajectories are drawn over one another and the accent hands off from one to the next as the scenario selector steps across them.
Committed and spent blocks advance along a capped gauge and the headroom caliper between the spend front and the cap rule closes as they do.
Budget and actual columns stand in pairs and a caliper drops between each pair of tops to measure the variance, the one that breaches tolerance holding in the accent.
