Why it matters
The same rigour a delay expert applies — every time, in minutes.

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 used in forensic schedule and delay analysis.

The viewer · free
See the whole programme — and exactly where it's weak.

The Schedule Quality Index scores fourteen DCMA-aligned checks the moment you upload. Every metric is clickable — drill straight into the failing activities on an interactive P6-style Gantt. No payment to look.

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, DCMA-aligned method
The Schedule Quality Index is a weighted roll-up of 14 DCMA-aligned checks. Thresholds and weights are configurable per organisation — no black box.

FAQ
Common questions.
Primavera P6 .xer files and P6 .xml exports. Drop the file in and it's parsed in seconds — no install or plugin required.
No. Viewing a single schedule — the interactive Gantt, all 14 metrics, and the live Schedule Quality Index — is always free. You only pay when you generate a downloadable forensic report.
Fourteen DCMA-aligned checks including logic density, open ends, total float, negative float, hard constraints, critical-path quality, and more. The Schedule Quality Index rolls them into a single weighted score from 0–100. A score above 75 is considered healthy.
The paywall fires once: when you generate a deliverable. A single Health report is $29, a baseline Comparison is $48, and a multi-version Time Machine analysis is $79. If you run reports regularly, a Monthly plan ($199 for 10/mo) or Professional ($499 unlimited) is cheaper.
Yes. Reports are forensic-grade with a plain-language narrative where every claim is traced back to the schedule, plus a PDF and Excel appendix you can hand straight to a client.
