Your starting prompt.

Update our rolling [months] month forecast using actual results through [date]. Lock completed months, replace forward assumptions only where new evidence or approved driver changes exist, and show a bridge from the previous forecast. Summarize changes in revenue, expenses and ending cash with named assumption owners. Preserve the previous version so we can distinguish performance changes from forecast revisions.
