Bring the evidence together
Connect financial results to operational activity. Break a variance down by period, location, or customer, using consistent definitions and comparable time windows.
01 / FOLLOW THE QUESTION
The total is off plan. Which part moved?
Compare actuals and budget for the same period, then break the variance down by cost category, team, or location.
Separate timing from a sustained change before adjusting the forecast.
02 / FOLLOW THE QUESTION
Did costs rise because volume grew—or efficiency fell?
Compare operating costs with the activity they support: orders, deliveries, projects, or customers served.
Use both total cost and unit cost to decide where to investigate.
03 / FOLLOW THE QUESTION
Which customers or locations contribute the most?
Bring revenue and attributable costs together. Make allocation rules visible so comparisons use the same definition of profitability.
Use the contribution view to inform pricing, capacity, and account reviews.
