Create an editable project-update template for [audience].
Required: project title, as-of date, current status and source-linked facts.
Conditional: budget only when a supplied cost exists; decision request
only when a real decision and decision owner are supplied.
Use labelled placeholders in the blank template, not realistic invented
values. In the filled example, preserve unknowns and source qualifications.
Return the blank template, a filled example and a section-rule list.

---

Fill the template using this source only. Mark missing required facts
as questions. Apply each conditional section rule explicitly.
Show which sections were included, omitted or left unresolved and why.
Check the actual saved document for unresolved placeholders, invented
amounts, changed dates and status wording stronger than the source.

---

The source contains no budget, but the example added £5,000.
Remove that invented amount. Change the template instructions so the
budget section appears only for an explicitly supplied cost and basis.
Check a source with a cost and one without it. Return the revised blank
template, both filled behaviours and the changed section rule.
