“The contractor says 97.9% of links are Finish-to-Start, so no action is needed. Is that accurate?”

32%
A schedule said it passed. AI Mode showed the check covered only 32% of it.

The figure covered 382 of 1,179 links. Across the full schedule it was 91.4%, with part of the schedule below the 90% DCMA threshold and 17 Start-to-Finish links unreported.

Why it mattered. The owner had four specific corrections to send back, with an evidence file behind every one.

PROGRESS VERIFICATION

With Nodes & Links AI, you can

verify progress before you pay for it.

Know where your project really stands. AI Mode checks reported progress against the schedule data, so every number in your report holds up.

“Compare the schedule’s progress to the contractor’s weekly report. Where do they disagree?”

89% vs 79.9%
Reported progress, checked against the schedule in minutes.

The report claimed 89% of hours earned, but its own tables showed 79.9%. Against the original baseline, the project was about 10 weeks behind.

Why it mattered. The owner had six specific points to raise with the contractor, starting with a recovery plan for the largest subcontractor.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT

With Nodes & Links AI, you can

see every change, and what it means.

See exactly what changed between updates, and why. AI Mode separates new scope from schedule drift, so every change is visible and accounted for.

“Final commissioning slipped 6 months between submissions. What drove it, and was any of it change?”

3 of 6 drivers
A 6-month commissioning slip, traced back to change.

At least 3 of the 6 drivers came from change, including a structural instruction across 4 data halls and 70 added fire detection units. Commissioning durations barely moved; the work simply could not start.

Why it mattered. The consultant could separate change-driven delay from performance, with the evidence chain to back it up.

DELAY RECOVERY

With Nodes & Links AI, you can

win back time when delays hit.

When a delay hits, know your options fast. AI Mode tests recovery scenarios against your live schedule and tells you how many days each one wins back.

“If steel erection slips 2 months, how do we still finish on time? A 6-day week is an option for some trades.”

51 days
Steel slips 2 months. Can we still finish on time?

Compressing downstream work recovers up to 28 days. Adding a 6-day week on steel trades recovers 15 to 17 more, closing almost all of the 51-day gap.

Why it mattered. The team knew it needed both levers, and to start the completion date conversation early rather than wait.

RISK AND FORECASTING

With Nodes & Links AI, you can

forecast your real finish, and get ahead of risk.

Know when you’ll really finish, and what could change it. AI Mode forecasts completion with QSRA and PAD Prediction, shows which risks matter most and what to do about them now.

“What are the top three things that could go wrong in the next 30 days, and what can we do now?”

30 days
The top 3 risks in the next 30 days, and what to do today.

15 foundation activities were due within 30 days, all at 0% complete and already 61 to 92 days behind. The project was earning 75% of planned progress.

Why it mattered. A clear action list for that week: escalate two work fronts, add crews, and brief leadership before the next update.

SCHEDULE ACCELERATION

With Nodes & Links AI, you can

find time you didn’t know you had.

Find time you did not know you had. AI Mode pinpoints where a schedule can move faster, and checks that the gains are real before you commit to them.

“How can we bring this milestone forward to March 27? Find every upstream opportunity.”

38 days
Pulling a key milestone forward by 38 days.

Float covered 22 of the 38 days. Reviewing 30+ systems in parallel batches, instead of one at a time, could cut the approval chain from 300 days to 120.

Why it mattered. Five quick-win actions for the next 30 days, led by parallel review tracks and faster freight from suppliers.

DISPUTES AND CLAIMS

With Nodes & Links AI, you can

build every position on evidence.

Build your position on evidence. Large owners and contractors use AI Mode to assess extension of time claims and delay causes, with activity-level proof behind every number.

“Compare this month’s contractor schedule with last month’s, and give me a conclusion for each chart.”

848 logic changes
A clear contract position on a 112-day slip.

Completion moved 112 days, the critical path grew from 7 to 140 activities, and 848 logic changes were made in a single revision.

Why it mattered. The owner had the evidence to respond under its NEC4 contract and ask for credible corrective measures.
