Build an event budget that survives the event — every cost line including the ones people forget, the contingency sized to the actual risk, and the tracking that shows overspend while it can still be stopped. Use when asked to build an event budget, cost an event, price a conference or wedding, or explain why an event went over budget. Produces the full cost breakdown, the commonly-forgotten lines, the contingency sizing, the payment and cash-flow schedule, the per-head economics, and the variance tracker.

# Event Budget Plan

Events do not overspend on the big lines. They overspend on the twenty small ones nobody budgeted — the extra rigging hour, the corkage, the crew meals, the overtime past curfew, the cost of the thing that broke. This builds the budget with those lines already in it, sizes the contingency against real risk rather than a habitual ten percent, and tracks committed spend rather than paid spend, which is what actually matters.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The full cost breakdown** — by category, separating fixed from per-head so headcount changes reprice instantly
- **The forgotten-lines checklist** — the costs that reliably appear late and unbudgeted
- **Contingency sized to risk** — driven by what is actually uncertain in this event, not a default percentage
- **Payment and cash-flow schedule** — deposits, balances, and when money must actually leave
- **Per-head economics** — cost per attendee at several headcounts, so a drop in numbers is not a crisis
- **The variance tracker** — budget, committed, paid, and forecast, because committed is the number that binds
