Schedule assurance for Primavera P6

Know what your schedule is really telling you.

DatumLens checks the quality of a schedule, compares every update, traces the true cause of delay, runs a full schedule risk analysis (QSRA), shows progress graphically and simulates how the project builds. Privately, on your own computer, in minutes.

What you get

One tool for the whole review.

Schedule quality

45 checks across the DCMA 14-point assessment and two further frameworks, with a clear score and a logic tracer.

Update comparison

See exactly what changed between two updates: dates, durations, logic, resources and progress.

Delay analysis

Finish movement window by window, and the cause of delay traced from the longest path.

Progress & simulation

Progress weighted by cost, duration or resources, by area, with an animated build-up simulation.

Schedule risk (QSRA)

Monte Carlo simulation with P50, P80 and P90 dates and the activities that drive the spread.

Cleanse

Find redundant links, open ends and hard constraints, preview the effect, and export a clean XER.

Combine XER files

Merge multi-project files into one programme, keeping links, calendars and codes.

Reports that read well

Assessment, executive, changes, delay, progress and risk reports with your logo and a clear narrative.

Ask DatumLens

Ask questions in plain words. A local AI explains exact results. Nothing leaves your machine.

Delay analysis

Find the cause, not the symptoms.

A schedule can fail a dozen quality checks and still meet its dates. DatumLens keeps the two apart. The reason for a delay is read from the longest path: the first open activity is the driver, and every successor carries it to the finish.

  • The driver named, with its status, dates and float
  • How the delay builds along the path, activity by activity
  • Recovery aimed at the path and the closest other paths

Update comparison

See exactly what changed.

Load the baseline and every update, and DatumLens lines them up by data date. Each change is shown on the bars and listed in a register you can filter and export.

  • Dates, durations, logic, resources and progress, compared activity by activity
  • Finish movement, update by update
  • An integrity check on how each update was made
  • A changes report ready to issue

Progress & simulation

Watch the project build itself.

Measure progress the way your contract does, weighted by cost, duration or resources, and see it by area. Then play an animated simulation of how each building fills, floor by floor, from the schedule.

  • Progress weighted by cost, duration or resources
  • A progress matrix by area, building or zone
  • A map you draw over your own site plan
  • An animated simulation of each building, floor by floor

Schedule risk analysis · QSRA

Know the chance of finishing on time.

DatumLens includes a full quantitative schedule risk analysis. It runs a Monte Carlo simulation of activity durations and risks on your P6 schedule and shows how likely each finish date really is. No separate risk add-on to buy.

  • P50, P80 and P90 finish dates
  • The probability of meeting your contract completion date
  • The activities that drive the spread, ranked
  • Runs on your own computer, like everything else in DatumLens

Ask DatumLens

Ask in plain words. Get exact answers.

Counts, rankings and lookups are calculated from your schedule, never guessed. A local AI explains the result in clear language, and every figure it writes is checked against the data.

  • Activity IDs come with their names
  • Invented figures are flagged before they reach a report
  • Runs on a local model: no account, nothing leaves the machine
Why did the finish move?What is the longest path?How can we recover?

DatumLens: The finish moved 14 days. The driver is Foundation works (95% complete, float −9.4 d). Its delay is carried through Structure, Façade and Systems testing to completion.

How it works

Three steps to your first result.

01

Open your files

Load Primavera P6 XER or XML files. Add a baseline and its updates and DatumLens orders them by data date.

02

Review the results

Quality score, changes, delay trace and risk, each a click away, with the worst offenders listed.

03

Issue the report

Export a clear report with your logo and commentary, or a cleansed XER back to P6.

Questions

Good to know.

More answers in the help centre

Which files does DatumLens open?
Primavera P6 XER and P6 XML files, including files that hold several projects.
Is my schedule uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything is calculated on your computer. There is no server, no account and no telemetry on your schedule data.
Does the AI send my data to the cloud?
No. Ask DatumLens talks to a model running on your own machine, such as Ollama or llama.cpp, and only sees a compact summary of calculated results.
Does DatumLens include schedule risk analysis (QSRA)?
Yes. QSRA is built in: a Monte Carlo simulation that gives P50, P80 and P90 finish dates, the chance of meeting your completion date and the activities that drive the spread. There is no separate risk add-on to buy.
Which languages are supported?
English, Arabic (with full right-to-left layout), French and German, across the interface, the reports and the AI answers.
