Budget steering

See where the year will land.

Book a call

The forecast for the year against your budget, with and without the cases you approve. Every saving is tracked from identified to measured, so the gap closes on the chart, not in a spreadsheet.

What it does

  • Forecast against budget

    Where the year will land at today’s run rate, next to your budget, for the whole estate or for each project, team or client.

  • With and without your cases

    Each case you approve moves the forecast, so you see what it does to the year before it ships.

  • A savings ledger

    Every case is tracked from identified to approved, shipped and measured, with its approver and its evidence.

  • Ask what you need

    “What did we save this year?” or “Which bill line grew the most?”, answered as a chart.

Ask what you need.

Questions teams ask

When does a saving count?
When it is measured: the yearly run-rate reduction once the change is merged.
Can we steer by team or client?
Yes. Every cost has an owner on the map, so the forecast and the ledger can be read for one project, team or client.
