FORENSIC SCHEDULE ANALYSIS

Equitable Intelligence for Delay Disputes

The calculator does in minutes what used to take months of manual comparison. Every concurrent delay measured. Every impact traced. Same inputs, same outputs, every time.

AI-ready forensic data

18+ MCP server tools let AI agents query schedule analysis directly. The calculator computes. The agent navigates. You decide.

The industry problem

Billions Are At Risk

P6 wasn't built for forensic comparison. Tracking changes means opening each XER manually. Measuring concurrent delay means judgment calls where math should decide. The result: months of work, subjective conclusions, and arguable evidence in arbitration.

No Purpose-Built Calculator

Without a mechanical measurement tool, the method becomes inseparable from the person performing it. Two equally skilled analysts can reach different conclusions from the same data.

Concurrent Delay Deserves Precision

Multiple delays on parallel paths require mathematical precision to apportion. The tools available until now required estimation where exact measurement is possible.

The solution

Delay Analysis Should Be Equitable

FPM is the calculator. The analyst is the mathematician. The platform handles exhaustive, deterministic measurement so your expertise goes toward interpretation.

Schedule Arithmetic

Each schedule change is measured through the dependency network to determine its impact on milestones. Parallel paths measured independently. Concurrent delays quantified automatically.

Path-Aware Impact Modeling

Every activity-level change is traced through the full network to its milestone-level effect. Five impact categories: structural, logic, progress, duration, and global.

Concurrent Delay Matrix

Cross-window attribution grid with impact by category per analysis window. Two independent measures: concurrent impact days and but-for milestone shortening.

Top Movers

Out of 10,000 activities, which ones actually matter? Automatic ranking by impact magnitude, separating delay drivers from mitigation efforts.

As-Planned vs As-Built

Day-by-day execution timeline per AACE MIP 3.4. Every work day classified as Progress, Gain, Extended Duration, or Void, anchored to the CPM state at each update.

AI-Ready Analysis

18+ MCP tools expose the full forensic toolchain to AI agents. Tool computes. Agent navigates. Analyst decides. Three clean layers.

The Right Instrument

FPM makes the measurement mechanical. The analyst's expertise moves from manual data wrangling to contractual interpretation and professional judgment.

Without a Forensic Tool

  • Months spent opening each XER in P6 to compare properties
  • Concurrent delay requires judgment calls where math should decide
  • Without mechanical measurement, equally qualified analysts can reach different results
  • Network tracing done by hand because P6 doesn't automate it
  • No reproducible audit trail from finding to source data
With FPM

Automated Analysis

  • Minutes, not months. Complete pipeline from XER to impact attribution.
  • Concurrent delays measured mathematically on parallel paths
  • Same inputs produce identical results regardless of analyst
  • 15 diff categories detected automatically between updates
  • Full audit trail: summary to milestone to category to field change
Built for every seat at the table

One Platform, Objective Results

The same analysis, available to every stakeholder. When both parties see the same evidence, disputes resolve faster.

Owners

Level the playing field. Gain visibility into schedule details previously controlled by contractors.

General Contractors

Defend against claims with objective data. Focus on project execution, not dispute preparation.

Subcontractors

Gain equal footing. Access the same objective analysis to defend your position against any party.

Consultants

Apply expertise proactively. Transition from retrospective analysis to contemporaneous insights.

Industry Perspective

"Concurrent delay cases are among the most contentious and complex matters in construction claims."
— American Bar Association
"...lack of reciprocity or mutual benefit from the offsetting delay concept is inherently unfair and biased to favor the contractor."
— Trauner Consulting Services
