Baked In

A corporate euphemism for "already included" that makes basic accounting sound like sophisticated financial planning, usually used when someone wants to avoid taking responsibility for budget decisions.

Examples

Examples: - "The costs are baked in." (the costs are already included because we forgot to budget for them) - "We have savings baked in." (we have savings that may or may not actually exist) - "Everything is baked in." (everything is included because we have no idea what we're doing)
