About the framework

Compare five shares of a startup budget

The Startup Annual Budget example divides one total into five slices: Engineering 40%, Marketing 25%, Operations 15%, G&A 12%, and R&D 8%. It uses a donut layout, a department legend, and percentage labels. Engineering is the largest allocation in this sample.

The values total 100 and represent a proposed allocation. There is no currency amount, fiscal year, monthly breakdown, or actual-versus-plan comparison on the canvas. Keep Engineering and R&D definitions distinct when substituting your own numbers so the same costs do not appear twice.

To adapt it, provide department totals for a single budget period. Ask for the labels to match your accounting categories and for a note stating whether the amounts are planned or actual.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions

Does the chart show dollar spending?

No. It shows relative allocations only. Supply an annual total or department amounts if you want currency labels.

Why are Engineering and R&D separate?

They are separate categories in the sample. Define their boundaries for your organization or combine them if your accounts do not distinguish the costs.

Can I compare budget with actual spending here?

The supplied chart contains one allocation. Provide a second set of figures and ask for a comparison using the same department names and period.
