Field notes
The page models a commercial job through bid, actual, and variance columns rather than describing budgeting in abstract terms. Its sample structure covers sections A through X, with named settings for fringes, insurance, production fees, markup, and tax. Section-level permissions let a line producer, production supervisor, post producer, and executive producer see different editing scopes, while a viewer can inspect the whole budget without changing it.
