Cost That Knows What the Schedule Is Doing.

Each cost element carries its own uncertainty band, and the time-dependent ones are wired to an activity — so when the schedule slips, the day-rate cost follows it instead of sitting frozen in a spreadsheet. Risks map straight onto the elements they hit.

Cost Element Detail

Open One Element and the Whole Model Is There.

Behind every row: its base distribution, the activities that stretch it, the risks mapped to it, the resulting cost distribution with mean and percentiles, a formula editor for anything the fields cannot express, and how it spreads over time.
