Review this month's schedule update in minutes, not days.
Upload the contractor's schedule: P6 XER or XML, or Microsoft Project XML. TrueFloat compares it with last month's, checks it against your contract's scheduling spec, finds the edits that hide delay, and drafts your numbered comment letter. Next month it checks which comments were fixed, on its own.
No P6 licence needed. Files are encrypted, cost fields are discarded when the file is read, and the original is deleted within 24 hours.
The monthly review, start to finish
1. Upload the update
In a project, each month's update is compared with the last one automatically. No P6 or Project licence needed.
2. Pick the findings
Red flags, contract spec breaches, DCMA failures and activities past their late dates, each with the activity ID and the clause it breaks.
3. Send the letter, then forget it
A numbered comment letter in Word and a comment log in Excel. On the next update every comment is re-checked and marked resolved or still open.
What every report includes
Contract spec compliance
Checks against the contract's scheduling specification, starting with USACE UFGS 01 32 01: durations, leads, open ends, constraints, activity codes, scheduling options, approvals needed.
Float paths
The driving path to the finish and the next most critical paths, what drives each milestone, and why float moved since last month.
Excel and Word
A findings workbook ready for your comment log, and a Word report. Contractors get a Schedule Narrative Report instead, with no self-assessment in it.
Health check
All 14 DCMA checks with the activities that fail each one and how to fix them. Includes the critical path test, run on our own scheduling engine.
Red flags
Edits that hide delay: actual dates changed after the fact, critical logic deleted, durations quietly cut, constraints added, out-of-sequence progress, stalled activities.
What changed
Activities added and deleted, duration and logic changes, constraint changes, critical path drift and float lost by area, matched by activity ID.
Draft narrative
The monthly narrative most contracts require, written only from the computed numbers and checked so it states nothing the schedule does not show.
Three-week look-ahead
Work starting soon, grouped by area, with critical activities marked. One page you can hand to the field.
Delay damages and trend
Days late against the contract date, the dollar exposure at your daily rate, and where the finish lands if the current slip rate continues.
Red flags it catches
- HighAn actual finish date reported last month was changed in this update.
- HighA relationship on last month's critical path was deleted.
- MediumA critical activity's duration was shortened before it started.
- MediumA hard constraint was added, which can mask negative float.
- MediumWork started before its predecessor finished.
- LowAn activity has been in progress for a month with no change in remaining duration.
Built for the people who review schedules
Owner's representatives
Review a contractor's monthly update in minutes and know exactly what to question.
Contractor schedulers
See what the owner's reviewer will flag before you submit, fix it, and start the Schedule Narrative Report from a grounded draft with [reason] prompts where only you know the answer.
Project managers
See whether the job is slipping, why, and what it costs, without opening P6.
Your schedule stays private
Schedules are confidential. Each report is encrypted with its own key. Raw files are deleted after 24 hours, free results after 24 hours and paid reports after 30 days, and you can delete any report immediately. Cost and rate fields are discarded when the file is read, and the encrypted original is deleted within 24 hours. Files are read in a separate locked-down process with no access to our keys.
Questions
Do I need Primavera P6?
No. Ask whoever sends you the schedule for the export file. From P6: File, Export, then XER or XML. From Microsoft Project: File, Save As, XML Format (*.xml); a .mpp file can't be read directly.
What does the free check include?
One schedule a month: the overall health score, the top issues and the number of red flags. The full report adds every finding with activity IDs, the change report, the narrative and the look-ahead.
Is this a forensic delay analysis?
No. TrueFloat reports what the schedule data shows and what changed. It does not decide cause or responsibility, and the narrative is a draft for a scheduler to review and sign.
How accurate is the scheduling engine?
It recalculates the critical path from the schedule's own logic, calendars, constraints and progress. It matched P6's dates and float exactly on the real schedule we have tested so far, and we are testing more. Every report also compares its results with the dates P6 stored in the file and warns you when they differ, so a mismatch never goes unnoticed.
