AC budget-vs-actual
Monthly and quarterly budget vs. actual variance analysis for businesses. Compare planned vs. realized revenue, expenses, and margins. Identify favorable/unfavorable variances, root-cause material variances (>5% or >$X threshold), produce management commentary, and generate actionable reforecast recommendations. Outputs: variance table, waterfall narrative, and updated rolling forecast. Use when a CFO, controller, or analyst needs to close the books for a period, explain results to management or investors, or update the annual operating plan mid-year. NOT for: building budgets from scratch (use startup-financial-model), tax preparation, transactional bookkeeping, or real-time cash tracking.
As a process C 63/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: inputs and preconditions, failures and branches, running it twice
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 63/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 39 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3434 tokens
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
