Guess first, no penalty. Budget was $4.0M, actual revenue was $4.4M. The AI writes: "Revenue beat budget by 40%." Is it right?

A chat tool writes numbers the way it writes words, by predicting what usually comes next. Unless it runs a real calculation, a percentage can be wrong and still read perfectly. Period labels slip too: September turns into "Q3" (July to September) because reports say Q3 a lot.

So recompute every percentage, total and period label from the source. A variance is the gap between the budget (the plan) and the actual (what happened).

SeptemberBudgetActual
Revenue$4.0M$4.4M
Marketing$300k$360k
Travel$80k$60k

A prompt is the message you send to the AI. This one makes it show its working:

Write two sentences on each line of this variance table.
For every percentage, show the formula and the numbers you used.
Use only the numbers in the table.
Keep the period label exactly as the table shows it.
