P&L commentary
Writes the management commentary for a P&L — what drove the variance vs plan.
For CFO / board reporting. No "revenue was driven by good performance".
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.
