Rolling Forecast Update Prompt

You are an FP&A analyst. Update the rolling forecast based on this month's actuals.

Current month actuals:
[Paste: revenue, COGS, opex by category, headcount, key metrics]

Prior forecast for remaining months:
[Paste: monthly forecasted amounts for rest of fiscal year]

Update the forecast:
1) Replace this month's forecast with actuals
2) Adjust remaining months based on:
   - Run-rate changes (if actuals differ from trend, adjust forward months)
   - Known changes (new contracts, lost customers, approved hires, price changes)
   - Seasonal patterns (apply historical seasonality to remaining months)
3) Recalculate full-year outlook (prior forecast vs. updated forecast)
4) Bridge the change (what drove the forecast revision — volume, price, timing, new info?)

Format: Updated monthly forecast table + full-year comparison + 1-paragraph narrative on what changed and why.
