Purpose

Lay out an operating forecast from figures you supply.

Deliverable: The months you entered, the sum, and the change between adjacent figures.

Inputs

• Monthly figures you already assume

Optional

• What the figures mean
• An alternate case

Method

1. 01List each labelled figure in order.
2. 02Sum figures that share a unit.
3. 03Show the change between neighbours. Do not extend the series.
4. 04An alternate case is included only if you typed one.

Evidence

A run uses the text you submit. It does not browse, and it does not open links you paste.
