Finance assignment: what does Northstar cost and what do the scenarios mean?

Background reference only — not a separate workshop task. During the scheduled workshop, use the Finance step inside E4 instead.

Use only the supplied synthetic sources. Treat filenames such as “final-maybe” as labels, not approval.

Use these sources

• 00-brief/
• 01-customer-and-business/crm-export/opportunities.csv
• 04-finance/
• 06-leadership/executive-kpis.csv
• 07-inbox/[email protected]

Deliverables

Complete 08-output-templates/budget-summary-template.md with:

1. a line-by-line comparison of budget v1 and v2;
2. cautious, base, and offensive scenarios with reproducible arithmetic;
3. a list of data-quality risks and unsupported interpretations;
4. a finance comment and recommendation for leadership;
5. the human owner of every unresolved approval or assumption.

Every material number must cite a source ID. Before submission, open each cited source and repeat the calculation without relying on the AI's arithmetic. Record one AI suggestion you corrected or rejected and why.

Stretch

Turn your final prompt sequence into a six-step reusable workflow for checking a multi-currency programme budget.
