“A number without an explanation is just noise. I want to know whether this gap is a timing issue or something I need to act on now.”
What it does
Reviews the actuals-vs-budget delta, interprets why the firm is over or under (timing, slipped collections, unplanned spend), flags shortfalls or surpluses early, and proposes concrete short-term adjustments (defer spend, pull a payment, accelerate a collection). Used when the cash statement shows a material deviation. Human-in-loop judgement call.
Trigger: Use when the cash statement shows a material deviation from budget to understand cause and decide on action.
