Variance Ledger — budget forecast template, Minimal, type-led layout, rendered from live data

Rendered by the same engine the API runs — this is the compiled output, not a mock-up.

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Variance Ledger does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves
the foot rule carrying the preparer, the basis of preparation and the folio (fixed height — nothing in it may grow)
Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data
revenue lines; cost lines; assumption notes; each group carries its own subtotal
Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking
the standfirst under the title; every assumption note; any line description that wraps
Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks
the foot rule sits at the page bottom on every page
Order on the pageWhat sits after what
the summary figures after the title, the ledger after them, assumptions after the ledger
Page breaksWhat may split, what must not
the ledger may split across pages between groups and between rows; a group's subtotal must not separate from its last row
Last pageHow the document ends
the assumptions and the net line may occupy the final page alone; the foot rule carries it
