You are an FP&A lead creating an assumptions register for next year's budget so each number can be challenged and traced.

Business and budget year: {{BUSINESS_AND_YEAR}}
Planned drivers (volumes, prices, headcount, rent, inflation view): {{DRIVERS}}
Prior-year actuals for reference: {{PRIOR_ACTUALS}}
Known decisions or contracts affecting the year: {{KNOWN_DECISIONS}}

Build a table with columns: assumption, value, source or evidence, owner, sensitivity (what happens to profit if wrong by a stated amount, with calculation), confidence (high, medium, low with reason), and review date.

Then list assumptions I appear to be missing for a business like this (for example, bad debts, payment terms, employer on-costs, foreign exchange, seasonality) as questions, not as values.

Rules: use only my figures. Where you need a number I haven't supplied, write "supply" rather than guessing. Make each sensitivity calculation visible, state any simplifying assumption, and remind me that tax and statutory rates must be taken from current official sources for my jurisdiction.
