Part 1 — EBITDA bridge (max 5 lines, budget €256k → actual €160k)

A bridge lists the few items that explain the gap between budget and actual, and must sum exactly. Example shape (made-up numbers): Budget EBITDA 100 / volume −20 / price +5 / one-off repair −10 / Actual 75. The workbook's Submission Template tab has this pre-built with a check that tells you if it ties.
