About variance-analysis

variance-analysis
Decompose financial variances into drivers
Variance-analysis is an agent skill that breaks down the difference between financial figures into the drivers behind it. It covers budget against actual, period against period, and comparisons of budget, actual and forecast, and it produces narrative explanations and waterfall analysis to show how each driver adds to or takes away from the total. Its main method is price and volume decomposition, which applies to revenue, cost of goods and any metric that can be expressed as price times volume. For those, the total variance is split into a volume effect and a price effect, so you can see whether a change came from selling more or from charging differently. The skill also covers materiality thresholds, which decide which variances are big enough to explain. It states that it assists with variance analysis workflows but does not give financial advice, and that analyses should be reviewed by a qualified financial professional before they are used in reporting. It is part of Anthropic's knowledge-work plugins.
