$ARGUMENTS
If no input is provided above, ask: "What's the approved budget, how much is spent so far, and how far through the work are we (by time or scope)? Day rates or effort data help if you have them."
Compare spend to plan and forecast the endpoint honestly. The job is to flag overrun early - while there's still time to act - not to report it after the fact.
| Input | Required? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Approved budget | Yes | From the charter - the baseline |
| Spend to date | Yes | Actuals, not estimates |
| Progress | Yes | % of time elapsed and/or % scope complete |
| Day rates / team cost | No | Enables forecast |
| Committed-but-unbilled | No | POs, contractor time not yet invoiced |
If budget or spend is missing, ask - a tracker without a baseline is meaningless.
