60 Open RFIs. $64,800 in Limbo.
You have 60 open RFIs. At $1,080 each, that's $64,800 sitting in limbo. Fifteen of them will never get a response. The rest take 8-12 days on average. Every day of waiting costs you money, schedule, and credibility.
The Silent Project Killer
RFIs don't make noise when they expire. They just silently drain your budget and push your schedule.
At $1,080 each, your 60 open RFIs represent $64,800 in limbo — accumulating cost every day they remain unanswered.
The average RFI takes 8-12 days to get a response. That's 8-12 days of crews making assumptions or standing idle on affected work.
One in four RFIs simply never gets a formal response. Field teams guess. Architects review later. Rework follows.
Each unanswered RFI on critical path creates 3-5 days of schedule impact. Four on critical path? That's a month of delays hiding in your inbox.
The Return on POD
What happens when every RFI has a tracker, an owner, a deadline, and a cost attached.
Decision Velocity
POD tracks every pending decision, its age, its cost impact, and who is responsible. Escalation happens before the deadline, not after.
Zero Blind Spots
Every RFI, submittal, and decision request is visible on the morning dashboard — with aging indicators and critical path flags.
Auto-Escalation
When a decision passes your threshold, POD automatically escalates — to the architect, the owner, or your internal team. No manual follow-up needed.
Cost Visibility
Every pending decision shows its dollar-per-day cost impact. Decision makers see the financial consequence of every day of delay.
The RFI Queue — Aging in Plain Sight
Each card is a decision stuck in limbo. The red ones will never get answered.
Every Unanswered RFI Is a $1,080 Hole in Your Budget
Decision latency and information flow — the metrics that turn RFI chaos into actionable intelligence.
Decision Latency
Never Lose Track of a Decision Again
Decision Aging Dashboard
Every open RFI and decision with its age, responsible party, cost impact, and critical path status — updated in real time
Information Currency Index
A single score that tells you whether information is flowing or stagnant. Below threshold? POD tells you exactly where the blockage is.
Cost Per Day of Delay
Each pending decision shows its daily financial impact. Turn abstract delays into concrete dollars that drive action.
Auto-Escalation Engine
Set thresholds per decision type. When an RFI ages past your limit, POD escalates to the right person with the cost data attached.
Accountability Mapping
Every decision has an owner, a deadline, and a trail. No more "I thought you were handling that" conversations.
Critical Path Integration
POD doesn't just track RFIs in isolation — it shows which pending decisions are blocking critical path and by how much.
“We had 73 open RFIs and no idea which ones were actually blocking work. POD showed us that 6 of them were on critical path — costing us $4,200 per day each. We escalated all 6 that morning and had answers by end of week.”
— Project Director, Healthcare Construction
