It might be interesting to ask which categories get how much of a cut
If the target is a 10% overall reduction, what percentage to each category. Unfortunately for us, we had a people category too. And since we constantly squeeze all the non-people categories all the time a 10% budget cut typically would impact people the most. This is probably a big corporate “norm” but always was very painful in my experience
