Variance analysis
skill for AI agents.
Trace budget, forecast, or period differences to reconciled evidence while keeping assumptions and professional sign-off visible.
What you get,
and what it checks.
Explain financial variance through supported business drivers.
This skill structures finance analysis around the question a reviewer actually needs answered: what changed, which driver supports the explanation, and what remains uncertain. It prevents a fluent narrative from replacing reconciliation and requires qualified review before the output is relied upon.
You get
- A reconciled variance table
- Supported driver commentary
- Explicit caveats and open questions
It checks
- Compared periods use compatible definitions
- Every driver links to evidence
- A qualified finance owner signs off
