Produces a categorised variance table with root cause analysis and management commentary.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Budget Variance Analysis Skill

Produces a complete variance analysis from numbers through to root cause explanation and management commentary.

## Required Inputs
- **Actuals and budget figures** (paste as table or describe line by line)
- **Period** (month / quarter / YTD)
- **Materiality threshold** (e.g. £10k or 5%)
- **Known reasons for variances** (if any)
- **Audience** (CFO / board / management / auditor)

## Output Structure

### 1. Variance Summary Table

| Line Item | Budget | Actual | Variance £ | Variance % | F/A |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | | | | | |
| Cost of Sales | | | | | |
| Gross Profit | | | | | |
| Opex | | | | | |
| EBITDA | | | | | |

F = Favourable | A = Adverse

### 2. Material Variance Commentary

For each variance above threshold:

**[Line item] — £[amount] F/A ([%])**
- **Root cause:** [Specific explanation — not "timing" without detail]
- **Permanent or timing?** Will this reverse next period?
- **Management action:** What is being done
- **Forecast impact:** Does this change full-year outlook?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills/budget-variance-analysis@sha256:3a955efaa6da09d2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260714.b87d8d4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
