A forecast is only useful if it is current.

Which means the end of the forecasting window. There is no forecast to open and no cutoff to make, no notes on a pad waiting to be keyed in once it is. Every commercial event feeds straight in as it happens, a variation submitted, a claim issued, a commitment raised, so the number is always live and your system is never behind.

01 · Cost to complete

Reflects today, not last month.

The cost-to-complete moves the moment a commercial event lands: a variation submitted, a variation assessed, a claim issued, a commitment raised. Budget, committed, spent and forecast final cost sit on one line, so the variance to budget is never a month-end surprise.

02 · Risk & opportunity

See exposure while you can still act.

Track risks and opportunities against the forecast, each with a value and a likelihood, and read the net exposure at a glance. It surfaces early, so decisions happen while there is still room to move.

03 · Forecast on variations

Carry variations on the number you trust.

Every open variation carries a forecast position on the basis you choose, submitted, assessed or a custom value, so the exposure you report matches the position you actually stand behind. Approve one and the forecast final cost moves with it.

Every change has a reason.

No forecast moves silently. Each change to the cost-to-complete carries who changed it, when, and why, with the before and after value on the record, a full audit trail behind every number you present.
