The Schedule Screen

Click Import Schedule in the top action bar to upload an updated Primavera P6 schedule (.xml or .xer). Forge immediately validates network topology, checks for cyclic logic loops, and synchronizes the CPM activity network. Use Capture Baseline to snapshot current schedule physics for continuous variance comparison.

Every bar is coloured by float remaining — not just a binary critical/non-critical flag:

The full legend is shown at the top right of the Gantt header.

When a baseline is selected, a permanent reference bar appears at the bottom edge of each activity row at the planned baseline position. If an activity is delayed past its baseline finish date, a dashed red slip track connects the planned finish to the forecast finish date, accompanied by a +Xxd variance badge at the tip.

Enable the Risk Pressure toggle to visualize potential delay from pending signals as a ghost bar extending from the forecast bar. Color encodes urgency tier:

If these risks materialize, the forecast bar will shift to meet the ghost bar's end. WBS nodes also aggregate potential drift, showing +Nd pot. alongside confirmed slippage.

Milestone activities — those with identical start and end dates — are distinguished with a diamond shape in the timeline and a ◇ icon in the sidebar label. Diamond bars feature an inner shadow for a premium look.

The Gantt legend (top-right of the chart header) includes a Milestone entry for reference.

When signals have been detected against an activity (but haven't yet added up to visible schedule slip), a minimal ⚡+Nd badge appears at the end of the bar. Hover the bar to see the full breakdown in the tooltip.

Hovering any bar opens an instant (no delay) structured card showing:

• Activity name with risk-tinted header
• Forecast Start / Finish dates
• Baseline Finish date (when baseline selected)
• Float / Drift / Signal delay — three colour-coded metric tiles
• Progress bar (backed by percentComplete)

The Deviation column ranks activities by a composite heuristic blending four factors:

Activities scoring above 120 show CRITICAL, above 70 show HIGH, above 40 show MED.

Every risk driver is automatically categorized by its Urgency Tier, determined by its proximity to contractual milestones and its current attribution status:

The Exposure column shows the locked financial exposure from accepted signals linked to each activity. Colour is relative to the current page — not fixed thresholds:

Click any row to expand the Impact Drivers panel inline. It shows every accepted and pendingsignal that contributes to that activity's deviation:

Every column header is sortable. The default sort is Deviation Score (highest first)— the engine's best guess at what needs attention now.

Sorting is performed server-side across the full dataset — not just the current page. This ensures ranking by Potential Exposure or Risk Pressure score accurately reflects the worst activities across all pages.

Use the filter chips (Critical / At Risk / On Track) or the AI search bar to narrow to a subset.

The left panel provides a structured scenario builder with one-click industry templates:

Users can also define custom fragnets: specify title, SCL event category (e.g. EMPLOYER_RISK, CONTRACTOR_RISK, FORCE_MAJEURE), contemporaneous narrative, duration, and tie predecessor/successor activities using searchable comboboxes with instant activity filtering.

Upon running a simulation, the top HUD immediately computes four key contract metrics:

Financial exposure automatically computes based on your project's contractual daily Liquidated Damages (LD) rate in Euros (€).

The Gantt Overlay tab shows the contemporaneous baseline side-by-side with the simulated post-impact schedule. Injected fragnet activities are rendered in distinctive indigo/purple, critical paths in high-visibility crimson, and slipped forecast bars are visually offset against their contemporaneous baseline positions.

The Delay Impact Ledger tab provides a granular audit table of every downstream activity pushed by the injected disruption. Filter by:

• All Pushed: Full downstream impact inventory.
• Critical Path Only: Activities driving net completion slip or with zero/negative float.
• Milestones Only: Contractual completion and handover milestones impacted.

The Contractual Notice tab auto-generates a formal statutory Notice of Delay citing standard conditions of contract:

Click "Copy Notice" to immediately transfer the fully formatted notice into clipboard memory for project correspondence or email to the Engineer / Employer.

Unlike prospective sandbox simulations, the Recovery Studio directly links to verified contemporaneous delays. Clicking ⚡ Target Active Site Delays (+Xd) or launching from an activity forensic card immediately targets the exact number of days slipped.

The optimizer evaluates four distinct trade crashing levers:

Activities respect realistic physical limits. Schedules cannot be compressed indefinitely—overcrowding trades creates labor stacking inefficiency. If a target exceeds what the critical path can physically absorb, the engine surfaces an explicit physical compression limit boundary, preventing unfeasible superintendent plans.

Every generated scenario reports:

• Days Recovered: Exact reduction in critical path completion date.
• Acceleration Cost (€): Premium labor, craneage, and modular fabrication expense.
• Mitigated Exposure (€): Liquidated damages avoided.
• Cost per Day Saved (€/day): Efficiency metric compared directly to contractual LD rate.

Displays complete CPM schedule physics alongside contemporaneous site causation:

• Planned vs. Forecast Chronology: Baseline vs actual start/finish dates with exact slip deltas.
• Float Consumption: Baseline float vs remaining vs consumed float metrics.
• Delay Attribution Bar: Visual concurrency breakdown showing Contractor, Owner, Third Party, Force Majeure, and Concurrent days.
• Contemporaneous Signals: Linked site logs with document links and direct ⚡ Plan Recovery shortcut.
• CPM Physics: Driving predecessors, successors, and commercial capital profile.

Differentiates terminal completion anchors from intermediate sectional milestones subject to liquidated damages:

• CPM Diagnostics: Confirmed sectional variance vs qualitative risk drift modeled.
• Accrued LD Liability: Quantified contractual liquidated damages exposure.
• Schedule Drivers & Predecessors: Ranked driving predecessor activities with clean rounded pressure contributions (+XX% pressure) and one-click source signal tracing.

Provides evidentiary traceability from field observation to schedule impact:

• Extraction Basis: AI reasoning narrative, timestamp, and source asset document link.
• Inference Review Gate: Human-in-the-loop approval mechanism gating whether qualitative ranges count toward project exposure.
• Validation Terminal: Interactive form allowing commercial managers to lock verified delay and cost figures with contractual rationale.
• Statutory Defense Routing: Direct trigger routing into FIDIC/NEC notice letter generators and AI claim rebuttals.
