The answer
Simulated answer. Written for this fictional case, not produced by a live model. Only the figures in it are computed, from what you decided above.
3 of 6 claimed outcomes are not fully confirmed by the data, worth GBP 3,850,000.
Three outcomes reported as achieved are confirmed by the measures and three are not: export growth, the margin gain and the premium launch, each weaker than claimed [S1][S2]. The difference is often one of definition, which is exactly why the measure should be agreed before the claim, not after.
You have recorded 0 as not confirmed (GBP 0) and 0 as confirmed; 3 are undecided. The board is better served by an accurate partial result than a confident one that is later corrected.

Review and approval
The chief executive decides. Approving sends the verified outcomes to the board as management's account of the year. It does not restate any figure in the accounts.
Not ready to approve. 3 flagged outcomes are still undecided. Confirm or dismiss each one first.

What it produces
Limits of this example
- A measure verifies an outcome only as well as it was defined.
- Timing differences can make a true outcome look unconfirmed.
- This is a scripted demonstration on fictional data. No model was called and no real organisation, person or result is shown.
