What's in the report?

Standard-library analysis: the core FP&A variance report straight from a budget-vs-actual table. Map a line item (account, category, or department), its budgeted amount, and its actual amount, and get the dollar variance and percentage variance for every line, each classified as over / under / on budget, the biggest swings ranked by dollar impact, and each line's contribution to the total variance. Whether a swing is favorable depends on whether the line is revenue-like or cost-like, so the report stays neutral and reports direction and size — you make the favorability call.
