AdenTurton has launched the Controls Lab: 10 free, live instruments that all run on one shared critical path schedule. Change a duration in one instrument and the others see the same change, because they share the same CPM engine.
Why we built it
Owners are asked to approve baselines, accept updates and judge delay claims, often with no way to test the numbers themselves. The Lab puts the core methods of project controls in front of them, with nothing to install and nothing to buy.
The 10 instruments
- Schedule Studio. Build, import and run a real CPM schedule.
- Schedule Health Check. DCMA 14-point test on your own file.
- Update Compare. What slipped, what changed, and why.
- Delay Impact Simulator. Insert a delay and watch the finish move.
- Finish-Date Confidence. Thousands of futures, P50 to P90.
- Earned Value Pulse. SPI, CPI, earned schedule and EAC.
- Resources & Cash Flow. Loaded histogram and S-curve from the logic.
- Cost of Delay. What one late day really costs you.
- Recovery Options Tester. Crash, fast-track, resequence, compare.
- Look-Ahead & Report Builder. Three-week look-ahead and a written narrative.
What it is, and what it is not
The Lab teaches the methods we use every day: critical path logic, DCMA-style health checks, Monte Carlo confidence, earned value and the cost of a late day. It is not a substitute for an independent review of a real project. When the Lab raises a question about your schedule, that is the moment to bring in someone who can open the native file.
Open the Controls Lab, or send us the file that prompted the question through an independent schedule review.
