See · Signal Score & DCMA-14

Score any schedule in one look.

The full DCMA 14-point assessment — logic, leads, lags, relationship types, constraints, high and negative float, durations, invalid dates, resources, missed tasks, CP test, CPLI and BEI — rolled into the Signal Score (0–100), with drill-down to the offending activities behind every check.

Drill-down

From failed check to named activity.

Every check opens to the activities behind it — up to 100 listed per check, each with the exact issue. No black-box score: the evidence is one click down.

The exact issue, per activity
No predecessors Lead 2.5d Float −18d

Findings are ranked by severity, and each drill-down lists up to 100 offending activities per check.

Health metrics

Beyond the checklist: is this schedule any good?

Activity and relationship counts, logic density, float distribution and status mix — the dashboard answers the first question of any review before you open a single table.

No jargon walls

Every check explained in plain English.

What each check means, why it matters, and the exact threshold used — the DCMA standard defaults (44-day float and duration tests, 5% ratios), which you can adjust per check, or exclude a check entirely, from the Customize thresholds editor. The defaults are documented on the page and in the Honest limits.

Example — the leads check

“Leads (negative lags) make the logic hard to trace and can hide overlap that never happens on site. Threshold: 0 — any lead is flagged.”

All 14 checks, standard defaults, fully configurable.

For contractors

Know the score before the client does.

For owners

Run the same 14 checks on their programme that they should have run themselves.
