Forecast

See where this month lands, with a range and the assumptions behind it.

Every figure, and how it is computed

Forecast: Where the month lands by its last day, with the range under it.
This month so far: Spend from the 1st to the last day of records.
Average day: The daily average over the days chosen.
Against the budget: The gap to the organization's budget, empty if it has none. Each agent's budget is in the table.
The curve: Solid to the last record, dashed to month end. Where it crosses the flat budget, spend goes over.
The basis: Rate from the last 30 days, 90 days or six months. Moves the dashed line, never the axis.
How far ahead: Month end, or 30 days, 90 days or six months on. Never further than your records go back.
The range: The quieter and busier day, carried forward like the line, so it widens. Not a confidence interval.
Assumptions: Growth, model mix, vendor prices, seats and approved changes. Each says what it did to the month end.
Against the plan: Each budget's month end, within plan or beyond. A limit raised by an approved ask is agreed growth.
Which part grows: What each team or workflow adds by month end, largest first. The parts add to the whole.
What changed the spend: The change between your days' two halves, split into volume, model mix, unit cost, seats and other charges.
