How we compare
What no other schedule tool puts in one place
Enterprise-grade schedule assurance — DCMA quality, forensic comparison, Monte-Carlo risk and dispute-ready reports — in a browser, parsed privately on your machine, at a pay-per-report price.
Your file never leaves your browser
The XER/XML is parsed on your device and never uploaded. Every other tool in this category ingests your programme to work; we don't — that's not a policy, it's the architecture, and it's why we can be on a defence or CNI programme on day one, not month four in a security review.
Free viewer → £10 a report
A permanent free viewer, reports from £10, no install and no annual lock-in. Rivals start at a paid subscription or a 4–5 figure desktop seat.

Why it matters
Expert-level rigour — on every schedule, not just disputes.
A manual DCMA review is slow, varies by who runs it, and is hard to defend when challenged. ScheduleInsight runs the identical method on every schedule and traces every figure back to the activities behind it.
Built on the DCMA 14-point assessment — extended with four extra checks and any custom criteria you add.

Across the whole schedule lifecycle
Your standard, not just DCMA — score, diagnose, forecast, compare and defend.
18 checks — your company standard
Score against the DCMA 14-point assessment plus four more — then make it yours: change any threshold and weight, or add your own no-code custom criteria, all rolled into one weighted 0–100 Schedule Quality Score.
DCMA 14-point
The defence-industry 14-point framework used in forensic schedule and delay analysis, scored as its own panel — a clear pass/fail on each check, out of 14.
Submission Scorecard
A pass/fail acceptance gate for owners & PMOs vetting a contractor's programme — ACCEPT / ACCEPT WITH COMMENTS / REJECT against your own acceptance rule, downloadable as a Submission report.
Monte Carlo risk
Forecast the finish date with confidence — P50 / P80 / P90 dates, probability of finishing on time, and a criticality tornado from thousands of simulated runs.
⇄
Forensic comparison
Track exactly what changed between revisions — new and removed activities, date movement, logic changes and the critical-path delay — matched activity-by-activity in a change log.

Defensible deliverables
Turn the analysis into a client-ready PDF: a Schedule Quality report, a delay comparison, a multi-revision trend, or a one-click Claim Brief with the delay & entitlement narrative drafted for you. See examples →
Who it's for
One tool, three jobs.
Contractor planners
Sanity-check your own P6 or MS Project programme before you submit — catch open ends, negative float and logic gaps, and fix them with the suggested actions.
Owners & PMO
Vet a contractor's schedule against your acceptance rule with the Submission Scorecard — a defensible accept/reject gate and a governance trail.
Delay & claims consultants
Build the delay story faster — multi-revision change log, baseline variance, and a one-click Claim Brief that drafts the delay & entitlement narrative for you to review and sign off.
Why you can trust the number
Transparent method. Every figure traceable.
The Schedule Quality Score isn't a black box. It's a weighted roll-up of 18 checks built on the DCMA 14-point assessment — every threshold, weight and custom rule is visible and editable, and every score drills straight down to the exact activities behind it.
Project schedules hold commercially sensitive data — contract values, delay events, named subcontractors, unreleased programme dates. ScheduleInsight was built so that data never has to leave your machine: your file is processed only to produce the analysis you ask for, nothing more. A server-side platform, by construction, must become a processor of your programme — a DPA, a sub-processor list and a retention schedule to negotiate for every project you load. The two-plane model removes that surface entirely: your login and billing live on our servers, your schedule never does, and there is no data-processing agreement to sign before you can start.
Parsed in your browser — never uploaded
Your .xer is read and scored entirely in your browser. The schedule file itself is never sent to our servers. The only thing that ever leaves your device is a report you explicitly choose to share via a link.
Your data, your control
Delete reports individually or remove your account and its data on request. Share links are revocable instantly, with optional passcode, expiry and recipient watermark.
Transparent & configurable
The Schedule Quality Score is a weighted roll-up of 18 checks (DCMA 14 + 4). Thresholds, weights and your own custom criteria are all configurable per organisation — no black box.

FAQ
Common questions.
Primavera P6 (.xer and .xml) and Microsoft Project (.xml, via File → Save As → XML). Native Microsoft Project .mpp and Asta Powerproject .pp aren't read directly yet — export those to .xml or .xer first. Drop the file in and it's parsed in seconds — no install or plugin required.
Your data remains confidential. Schedule files (.xer / .xml) are parsed and analysed entirely within your browser; the file itself is never transmitted to, or stored on, our servers.
Your schedule is also never sent to, processed by, or used to train any AI or large language model. Every quality check, the Schedule Quality Score, and the risk simulations are computed by transparent, auditable algorithms running on your own device, so no third-party model ever has access to your data.
No. Viewing a single schedule — the interactive Gantt, all 18 checks, and the live Schedule Quality Score — is always free. You only pay when you generate a downloadable forensic report.
Eighteen checks — the DCMA 14-point assessment plus four more (logic density, open ends, total float, negative float, hard constraints, critical-path quality, and more). The Schedule Quality Score rolls them into a single weighted score from 0–100. A score above 75 is considered healthy.
Several, all from the same schedule. The Schedule Quality report scores the programme against the 18 checks; the Submission Scorecard turns that into an ACCEPT / ACCEPT-WITH-COMMENTS / REJECT acceptance gate for owners and PMOs, and the Executive Brief distils the same findings into a board-ready, signed narrative for senior stakeholders. Attach a baseline to run a Comparison report — delay-path tracing, concurrent-delay detection, a full change register and a driving-path logic diagram. A Risk Forecast gives probabilistic completion dates, a Trend analysis report tracks three or more revisions over time, and the Claim Brief builds a defensible delay narrative.
Every report is built for scrutiny: a transparent, DCMA-aligned methodology with a plain-language narrative where every figure is traced back to the activities behind it, plus a PDF and Excel appendix you can hand straight to a client. They are analysis aids — you review and sign off before relying on them contractually.
Yes. Every schedule gets an on-screen Monte Carlo risk forecast in the free viewer, simulating thousands of runs to show the spread of likely completion dates against your planned finish. You control the assumptions: set the optimistic (−%) and pessimistic (+%) ranges applied around each activity's planned duration, pick the distribution (Triangular, PERT/Beta, Trigen or Uniform), and apply different uncertainty to different parts of the programme — for example a wider spread on procurement than on site works. Save those assumptions as named presets to reuse a conservative, aggressive or client-standard set. The Risk Forecast report captures it all as a deliverable — confidence-banded completion dates (for example P50 and P80), the activities driving the risk, and a plain-language summary. Every simulation runs locally in your browser.
Yes — that's what the Claim Brief is for. Starting from a completed Comparison or Trend analysis, it maps each delay window to its driving activities and calendar-day impact; you assign the cause and it drafts a 2–3 page delay and entitlement narrative. Choose the method that suits the dispute: Windows, Time Impact Analysis, or As-Planned vs As-Built, aligned to AACE 29R-03. As with every report, you review and sign off before relying on it contractually.
Yes — that's the point. Every check's threshold and weight is editable, and you can add your own no-code custom criteria (subject → field → operator → value), which fold straight into the Schedule Quality Score. Start from the DCMA 14 + 4 baseline and make it match how your organisation grades a schedule. Your settings are saved in your browser.
The paywall fires once: when you generate a deliverable. A single Schedule Quality report is £10, a baseline Comparison is £15, a Risk Forecast is £20, and a multi-version Trend analysis report is £40. If you run reports regularly, a Lite plan (£19 for 5/mo), Planner (£29 for 10/mo) or Professional (£69 unlimited) is cheaper. Subscriptions are monthly with no contract — cancel anytime.
