Sample excerpt (illustrative)

Flagship sample
## Allocation Summary (illustrative)
- Program delivery: 72%
- Personnel (program): 48% of total
- Direct participant supports: 14%

## Board talking points
1. Program share vs. peer benchmarks
2. Sensitivity if enrollment misses by 15%
3. What is restricted vs. unrestricted
