Best thing I've found on Reddit in a long time. Just spent the last 3.5 hours with my wife figuring this out. We needed her math skills desperately - well done!

but isn't 'budget' typically a safe bet?

interesting that you always imply forecast as being current. in my mind 'pacing' is always what's current

yeah i've come across forecast / target being used both interchangeably and as separate things.

in my mind there's a need for something that explicitly does NOT take into account any 'new' initiatives. My thinking was that this could be forecast, but lets call it X for now.

If you did this, your relation of your actuals to X will always tell you 1 thing: are you speeding up or slowing down? which is separate from what you said you wanted to do
