# Rolling Forecast Version Delta Review

## Inputs
Current and prior rolling forecast versions, the assumption log, the owner roster and the change policy.

## Workflow
1. Align both versions on the same periods and units before comparing.
2. List every changed line with old value, new value and absolute delta.
3. Match each change to an assumption log entry and owner; flag undocumented changes.
4. Return the delta register without overwriting either version.

## Output contract
Line | period | old | new | delta | assumption entry | owner | undocumented | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional v4 versus v3: 3 of 40 lines changed; two have log entries and one shows marketing spend up 8% with no entry. Flag the undocumented change only.

## Review gates
Re-check period alignment before flagging deltas. A shift in forecast horizon is not a line change.
