Budget Forecasting — Canonical Workflow
Budget Forecasting: provisional AI workflow implementation reference with candidate models, providers, tools, and architecture.
Overview
Draft assumption-linked budget scenarios from reconciled historical data for sensitivity testing and qualified finance review. Finance deployment requires organization- and jurisdiction-specific access, retention, segregation-of-duties, approval, reconciliation, and audit controls. Candidate outputs should preserve source-data traceability and route missing, conflicting, or policy-sensitive cases to qualified finance reviewers. These pages describe provisional decision support; accountable people retain accounting, payment, audit, financial-reporting, and compliance authority.

What this evidence does not establish
- No target planning horizon, source systems, driver model, scenario policy, risk tolerance, or approval authority is registered.
- No measured forecast error, interval coverage, drift detection, sensitivity stability, reviewer burden, or decision outcome is attached.
Candidate models with published references
- BGE-M3
- GPT-5
- GPT-5 Mini

Coverage means the model is a candidate worth evaluating for this workflow, not a ranking or a recommendation. Models whose reference pages are still in review are omitted.
Benchmarks relevant to this workflow
- GPQA Diamond — Graduate-level Google-Proof Q&A in physics, chemistry, and biology.
- MMLU-Pro — Harder MMLU successor with 10-option questions and reduced contamination.
