What you get

Drivetrain models the whole business — pipeline, headcount, usage — and the finance side of that model comes out of Light's ledger as it is posted. The plan is held against the books rather than against a trial balance somebody exported at some point last week.

So a re-forecast part-way through the quarter starts from where the business actually is, and a variance that looks wrong traces back to the entry in Light that produced it. The argument stops being about whose export is right.

  • The posted ledger, by entity and by period.
  • Actuals alongside the operational drivers Drivetrain already plans on.
  • Variance against plan without a reconciliation step first.
  • The same set of numbers in the board pack and in the books.
