Expense Budget Overrun
Margin / base / Immediate
What it detects
Monthly spending is materially above the operating budget.
Why it matters
A budget only protects the business if actual spending is measured against it and acted on. When monthly spend runs materially over plan, the company is burning cash it never intended to, and that overage comes straight out of runway. The value here is triage: seeing which categories are driving the overrun points directly at where a few decisions can pull spending back in line before the gap compounds into a real cash problem.
