What's inside

A full review toolkit, organized the way reviewers work

Eighteen purpose-built analysis sections — from first-pass integrity checks through deep forensics to a final report — each answering a question an owner's reviewer actually asks.

Schedule at a Glance

An executive overview the moment a schedule loads: key milestones, completion dates, and a "where to look first" triage of the biggest risks in the update.

P6-Style Schedule Reader

The whole schedule exactly as P6 shows it: WBS hierarchy bands with rolled-up values, a synchronized row-aligned Gantt chart with baseline and float bars, drag-and-drop columns, filters and full-screen mode.

Logic & Network Health

Open ends, dangling logic, leads and lags, hard constraints and redundant relationships — the integrity checks that decide whether the network can be trusted at all.

True Critical Path

Recompute the longest path from raw activity and relationship data, visualize it as an interactive driving-chain graph, compare it to the contractor's submitted path, and inspect near-critical float bands.

Month-over-Month Forensics

Diff two schedule updates: slipped activities, dates pulled without cause, logic changes, float erosion and delay absorption — with the story of why completion moved.

🔍

Logic Tracer

Trace driving predecessors and successors from any activity, hop by hop, to see exactly what is pushing a milestone — and challenge it with evidence.

Delay Absorption Stress Test

Inject a what-if delay into any activity and watch the float network absorb it. An hour-true CPM re-schedule on the schedule's own P6 calendars reveals exactly how many days of slip a milestone can soak up before its finish date starts to move — with an absorption curve, capacity gauge and downstream-impact list.

DCMA 14-Point Assessment

The industry-standard schedule health check, scored automatically with pass/fail thresholds, offending activity lists, and GAO best-practice cross-references.

WBS Breakdown & Activity Explorer

Activity counts, completion and criticality sliced by work-breakdown structure — with timeline bars and prior-period comparison charts — plus a searchable activity explorer, calendars and weather-risk exposure.

📈

Performance Review

Progress and performance trends across updates, so slippage patterns and optimistic re-baselining stand out early.

Redundant Logic Cleanser

Find and remove redundant "leapfrog" dependencies — links that duplicate a path the network already enforces, quietly inflating the critical path and sequestering float. Every removal is verified non-driving, so all activity dates stay identical, and you download a cleansed .xer plus a report of what was removed and where it concentrated.

Reports, Charts & Exports

A board-ready PDF report, a 55-tab forensic workbook and 10+ styled Excel exports — Schedule Reader, WBS Breakdown, DCMA scoring and more — plus flexible data mapping for non-standard exports.

📱

Works on Your Phone & Tablet

No P6 license needed to check a schedule. Load an XER or XML file right on your phone or tablet — look up an activity, browse the schedule and review findings from anywhere, even on site.

How it works

From P6 export to defensible review comments

No installs, no servers, no data uploads. The whole analysis runs inside your browser tab.

1

Export the schedule

Export as a Primavera P6 XER or Microsoft Project XML file — the same files the contractor already submits.

2

Load it in

Drop the file into the dashboard — on your desktop, tablet or phone. Parsing, scheduling math and mapping happen locally in seconds.

3

Review the findings

Work through integrity checks, critical path, forensics and variance pages — each flag links to the offending activities.

4

Report out

Export a board-ready PDF or forensic workbook to back your review comments to the contractor.

Data handling

Your schedule never leaves your machine

Only your account details (name, email, activation status) are stored — schedule files are processed entirely client-side.

🖥

Client-side analysis

XER and MS Project XML files are parsed and analyzed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

🔐

Accounts, not data

Authentication only stores who you are and whether your access is active — never project content.

No installs, no servers

Everything runs in a standard browser tab — nothing to install, no IT approval needed, and your exports stay on your machine.
