How It Works

From contractor XER to
owner narrative — same day

01
Receive the XER update and baseline
Contractor submits their monthly P6 update. We open it alongside the prior period and the approved baseline in Primavera P6.
02
Run the P6 analysis and DCMA metrics
Float movement, critical path shifts, open ends, constraint additions, activity percent complete validation, and milestone variance — against our standard protocol.
03
Draft the owner-facing narrative
A 2–3 page written narrative: what slipped, which milestones are at risk, where float eroded, what the contractor's recovery shows, and what we recommend the owner watch next period.
04
Deliver and advise
PDF and editable formats delivered. Optional 30-minute call to walk through findings with the owner or OPM team is included in the retainer.
05
Build the contemporaneous record
Each monthly report becomes a dated, documented schedule record. If the project later heads toward a delay claim, this record is the foundation of your position.
