Forensic Intelligence / Schedule Delay Review
Turn schedule history into defensible forensic intelligence.
Pathizer helps teams analyze P6/XER schedule history, identify delay and recovery movement, trace float and logic changes, and generate evidence-backed narratives for claims, disputes, and executive review.
Built for owners, contractors, consultants, and controls teams that need schedule evidence they can defend.

Finding
Turnover recovery shown in Update 14 was partly offset by logic changes and downstream float erosion.
Narrative
The update shows apparent recovery, but supporting schedule evidence indicates the recovery was not fully realized. Logic changes and downstream float movement reduced confidence in the revised forecast.
Delay Review Problem
Most delay reviews start after the story is already fixed.
By the time a project reaches a claim, dispute, or executive escalation, teams are left reconstructing months of schedule movement from update files, narratives, meeting notes, and competing explanations. Pathizer gives teams a faster way to trace the schedule record and explain the evidence.
When did it move?
Which path actually drove the delay?
Did recovery happen, or was the schedule resequenced?
Where did float erode?
Which logic changes affected the forecast?
What schedule evidence supports the finding?
Forensic Workflow
From schedule files to defensible findings.
Pathizer turns historical P6/XER updates into a repeatable forensic review: compare update movement, trace delay and recovery through float and logic changes, identify evidence-backed findings, and generate narrative language that can be reviewed by controls, executive, claims, and legal teams.
