Authored fictional review specimen. This is an instructional sample, not an executed agreement, an AI generation capture or a customer result.
The actual captured Northwind QBR uses fictional supplied revenue of 920, 1,010 and 1,120 USD thousands in Q1–Q3, with Q3 plan of 1,080. Q3 mix is installation 560, maintenance 390 and monitoring 170; these sum to 1,120. On-time completion is 93% against 95%, a shortfall of two percentage points, not two percent.
| Slide job | Source check | Reviewer decision |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue scorecard | 1,120 − 1,080 = 40; 40 ÷ 1,080 ≈ 3.7% | Use variance to plan; do not infer a cause |
| Revenue mix | 560 + 390 + 170 = 1,120 | Use parts of the same Q3 total |
| Operating risk | 93% versus 95% target | Assign a review of the two-point gap |
| Board decision | Approved source pack and assumptions | State the requested decision, owner and next review |
Keep the Q3 source and exported deck. For a later quarter, provide a new dated table, confirm whether the metric definition changed and review the proposed slide changes. Check that a title, note or narrative still refers to the correct period. A number refresh is not demonstrated by relabelling Q3 as Q4.
Open the retained actual six-slide PowerPoint beside its supplied source pack. Editable text, charts, pictures and flattened artwork are different object types. The withheld original QBR PDF is not replaced here by a separately rendered Prism chart.
