Plain-Language Walkthrough

A summary is a second view, not a new source

The desk now has a reviewed formula, but a report can still mislead by moving numbers into an attractive layout without reconciling them. Build three event rows. Garden Walk has two confirmed seats, no recorded receipts, and USD 40 planned costs. Repair Cafe has four seats, no receipts, and USD 75 costs. Night Market has four seats, USD 20 receipts, and USD 135 costs from the permit and lighting lines. Column totals must be ten seats, USD 20 receipts, and USD 250 costs. The illustrative funding gap is USD 230. These checks use independent paths: sum source rows into each event, then sum events back to source totals.

The distinction between recorded receipts and planned costs is semantic as well as numerical. PaidUSD records cash attached to the fictional registrations. PlannedUSD is a budget intention, not an expense already paid. Subtracting them yields a planning gap under this exercise's narrow assumptions; it does not measure profit, cash balance, or future turnout. A chart title or executive sentence that calls the difference “loss” would change the claim. Write units into column headers and chart labels so the reader cannot confuse places with dollars.
