The prompt

Copy this into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any assistant you already use — then paste your own p&l numbers (actual + plan) underneath it.

Write management commentary for the P&L. For each major line where actual ≠ plan:

**Line item**
**Actual vs Plan** (number + %)
**Driver** (1 sentence — what changed)
**Outlook** (will this persist?)

End with a 1-paragraph TL;DR for the CEO.

Rules:
- No "due to" without a specific cause.
- Be honest about misses.
