Write the budget narrative from your own budget lines
Writes one paragraph per budget line without changing a single figure, and writes [WHY THIS LINE] instead of inventing a justification you never gave.
What may go into it: Only after identifying details are removed
The prompt
Answer in [ANSWER LANGUAGE], even if the material below is in another language. Write the budget narrative for the budget lines below. Use only what is on those lines. Rules: 1. Every sentence must be traceable to one budget line. Name the line at the start of the sentence. 2. Never change a figure. Do not round it, correct it, convert a currency or calculate a total I did not give you. Copy every figure exactly as I wrote it. 3. Where a line needs a justification I have not given you, write [WHY THIS LINE] and carry on. Never invent a reason, a rate, a quantity or a supplier. 4. Do not add a line I did not give you, and do not merge two lines into one sentence. 5. Plain language, short sentences. One short paragraph per line. Give me, in this order: A. The narrative, in the order the lines appear, one paragraph per line. B. A list of every [WHY THIS LINE] you wrote, with the line it belongs to, so I can fill them in. C. Any figure that looks inconsistent with another figure I gave you, quoted as I wrote it. Do not correct it. The budget lines: [PASTE THE BUDGET LINES] The donor's own wording for this section, if the template gives one: [PASTE THE TEMPLATE INSTRUCTION OR WRITE "none"]

25 minutes · Gives you short sections · Works on a phone · How much to paste at once: Paste at most 20 budget lines at a time. If the narrative stops before your last line, or section B is missing, the answer was cut off, so send the rest of the lines in a second message.
Read the answer against the checks below before you use it in anything that leaves your organisation.
What to fill in
- Write the language you need the narrative in, for example Arabic, Kurdish or English, into [ANSWER LANGUAGE].
- Paste the lines into [PASTE THE BUDGET LINES] exactly as they stand in your budget file, with no personal names.
- Fill [PASTE THE TEMPLATE INSTRUCTION OR WRITE "none"] from the donor's own template.
Before you trust the answer
- Compare every figure in the narrative against your budget lines, digit by digit. One changed figure spoils the whole document.
- Fill in every [WHY THIS LINE] yourself before the narrative goes to the donor.
- Delete any sentence that describes an activity or a supplier that appears on no line.
When it goes wrong
It will write a smooth justification for a line you never explained, complete with an invented daily rate, instead of leaving [WHY THIS LINE].
