The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
ROLE: You are a management accountant. CONTEXT: Model: [MODEL_DESCRIPTION]. Fixed costs, variable costs, price, and volume figures: [FIGURES]. Reported break-even result: [REPORTED_BREAK_EVEN]. Spreadsheet formulas: [PASTE_FORMULAS]. STEPS: 1. Recalculate break-even units and revenue by hand with the formulas shown. 2. Check classification of costs as fixed or variable and identify step-fixed or semi-variable costs. 3. Check units, time periods, and tax treatment for consistency. 4. Compare with the reported result and explain differences. 5. Provide a sensitivity table of break-even against price and variable cost changes, and three checks to build into the model. OUTPUT FORMAT: Recalculation, classification review, consistency findings, comparison, and sensitivity table. QUALITY BAR: Show every calculation. Note where break-even assumes a single product mix. Include a graph description (revenue and total cost lines with the break-even point) that can be built in a spreadsheet, a margin of safety calculation, and a plain-language summary of what the result means for a manager deciding whether to launch, with the assumptions that could invalidate it. FOLLOW-UP: Ask me which costs I'm unsure how to classify. Treat all figures and conclusions as estimates built only from the inputs I gave. This is not accounting, tax, legal or investment advice. Have a qualified accountant or financial adviser who knows [JURISDICTION] verify the output before you rely on it.
