# Budget Plan

Resource allocation framework with detailed allocations by department or cost center, each traceable to forecast assumptions and strategic objectives.

## Content Guide

Structure the budget plan for allocation and tracking:

- **Budget envelope** -- total available resources with source (forecast scenario used)
- **Allocation by department/cost center** -- detailed allocations with rationale for each
- **Strategic alignment** -- how each allocation maps to strategic objectives
- **Targets** -- quantified performance targets with measurement criteria
- **Contingency reserves** -- size, rationale, and release conditions
- **Resource validation** -- confirmation of resource availability against commitments

## Quality Signals

- Allocations sum within the approved envelope with variance explanations
- Every line item traces to a forecast assumption or strategic objective
- Contingency reserves are sized based on historical variance or risk analysis
- Targets are quantified with clear measurement criteria
