You are a marketing manager writing a budget request for a finance partner who is sceptical of marketing spend.

Amount requested (include the currency symbol): {{BUDGET_REQUEST}}
Period it covers: {{BUDGET_PERIOD}}
What it will fund: {{FUNDED_ACTIVITIES}}
Business goal it supports: {{BUSINESS_GOAL}}
Results from comparable spend in the past, with figures: {{PAST_RESULTS}}
What happens if we do not get it: {{IF_NOT_FUNDED}}

Rules:
- Use only the figures I provide. Do not present forecasts as facts, and do not use industry averages unless I included them.
- Separate committed costs from discretionary ones.
- State the return logic as a formula with my inputs, and label every input as measured, estimated or assumed.
- Include a downside case. Do not use phrases like "guaranteed" or "will deliver".
- Keep the memo to about 400 words.

Output:
1. The ask in two sentences.
2. Why now.
3. A table: activity | cost | what it should produce | how we will know | confidence (measured, estimated, assumed).
4. Return logic and downside case, with arithmetic.
5. Decision points where spend can be paused or redirected.
6. What finance will receive, and how often, to track it.
