Frequently Asked Questions about budget-pulse

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track retainer budget health across multiple projects in Scoro?▼

The Skill tracks retainer budget health by calculating the percentage of the month elapsed against the pace ratio. It surfaces hot, cool, or on-track statuses for all active retainers directly from Scoro data, providing per-project and per-person breakdowns.

How does calculating the percentage of month elapsed help monitor project budget pace?▼

Calculating the percentage of month elapsed determines the expected budget burn rate. By comparing this against actual time entries, the Skill computes a pace ratio to show whether current project spending is tracking ahead or behind the monthly retainer allocation.

Can I post automated budget health reports to a Slack channel?▼

Yes, you can post budget health reports to Slack. The Skill optionally integrates Slack posting tools to share current month retainer budget statuses and weekly activity breakdowns directly with stakeholders.

Do I need specific Scoro API endpoints to generate per-person retainer budget allocations?▼

Yes, you need access to specific Scoro API endpoints. The Skill requires the get_projects, get_tasks, get_time_entries, and get_users endpoints to accurately compute per-person budget allocations and weekly activity.

What is the best way to view budget health for all active retainers versus a specific project?▼

The best way to view budget health is by selecting My Projects, Specific Project, or All Projects modes. These visibility options allow project directors to generate tailored reports focusing on individual retainers or an overarching dashboard of all active budgets.
