Question 370
A spreadsheet owner sees a generated forecast that extends unsupported trends into a new market. After the proposed approach, which result BEST shows the requirement was met?
Explanation
Correct Answer

The observed result “The workbook narrative distinguishes actuals, assumptions and scenarios and avoids false precision” directly tests the required outcome in this case—A spreadsheet owner sees a generated forecast that extends unsupported trends into a new market.
Incorrect Answers
PowerPoint assistance can structure existing business content, while humans must verify claims and final slide design. For the stated situation—A spreadsheet owner sees a generated forecast that extends unsupported trends into a new market—this result does not establish the required evidence: “The workbook narrative distinguishes actuals, assumptions and scenarios and avoids false precision”.
Spreadsheet context can contain filters or hidden rows that alter conclusions if not checked. For the stated situation—A spreadsheet owner sees a generated forecast that extends unsupported trends into a new market—this result does not establish the required evidence: “The workbook narrative distinguishes actuals, assumptions and scenarios and avoids false precision”.
Pre-meeting assistance is most useful when grounded in authorized, current work context rather than invented meeting outcomes. For the stated situation—A spreadsheet owner sees a generated forecast that extends unsupported trends into a new market—this result does not establish the required evidence: “The workbook narrative distinguishes actuals, assumptions and scenarios and avoids false precision”.
