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.

See the whole programme — and exactly where it's weak.

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.
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.

Data & security

Your schedules are confidential. We treat them that way.

Programmes are often contractual and sensitive. ScheduleInsight processes your files only to produce the analysis you ask for — nothing more.

🔒
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.
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.
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.
Reports are 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.
