91% of Projects Fail. Yours Won't.
91% of construction projects go over budget, over schedule, or both. The question isn't whether it will happen to you. The question is whether you'll see it coming. POD tracks cost and schedule performance in real time so you catch problems before they compound.
Why Most Projects End Up in the Red Zone
The 91% don't fail because of bad teams. They fail because problems hide in monthly reports while the project bleeds daily.
Budget variances compound silently
A 2% overspend in month one becomes 8% by month four. By the time someone catches it in a monthly report, the damage is done and recovery costs 3x what prevention would have.
Schedule slippage hides behind optimistic reporting
Everyone says they're "on track" until they aren't. Weekly reports mask daily slippage. By the time the PM sees the real numbers, critical path activities are already delayed.
Problems discovered too late to fix cheaply
Monthly earned value reports are autopsy reports — they tell you what went wrong, not what's going wrong. The projects that succeed catch problems in hours, not months.
$177 billion in annual industry waste
The U.S. construction industry wastes $177 billion every year on rework, delays, and miscommunication. Most of it starts with not knowing today's numbers until next month.
How the 9% Stay on Track
Daily data. Early warnings. Corrective action before variance compounds.
Start Every Morning With Data
Open POD to see real-time CPI, SPI, and completion forecast — before the first crew arrives. Know exactly where your project stands.
Catch Problems in Hours, Not Months
AI agents detect budget variances and schedule slippage within hours. Fix small problems before they compound into project-defining failures.
Finish On Time and On Budget
With daily visibility into performance metrics, your project stays on the green path. The 9% don't have better luck — they have better data.
Two Paths. One Choice.
100 projects start. 91 drift into the red zone. 9 stay on the green path. The difference? Daily data.
The Tools That Keep You on the Green Path
Real-time earned value tracking, AI-powered forecasting, and early warning systems that catch problems before they cost real money.
Real-Time CPI & SPI
Cost Performance Index and Schedule Performance Index updated daily from field data — not monthly from accounting. See problems when they're fixable.
Daily visibility, not monthly surprises
AI Completion Forecasting
AI agents analyze daily trends to predict your actual completion date — not the date on the baseline, but where you're really heading based on today's performance.
Know the real finish date, not the hoped-for one
Early Warning System
When CPI drops below 0.95 or SPI trends negative for 3 consecutive days, POD alerts the project team immediately. Early warnings, early corrections.
Fix problems while they're still small
Trend Analysis
Not just today's number — POD shows the trajectory. Is CPI improving or declining? Is the schedule recovery working? Trends tell the story numbers alone can't.
See the trend, not just the snapshot
Earned Value Dashboards
Professional earned value charts that would take a controls engineer hours to build — generated automatically from daily field reports.
Controls-quality data without controls-level effort
Variance Decomposition
Don't just know you're over budget — know why. POD decomposes variances by trade, by activity, by cost code so you can target the source.
Find the root cause, not just the symptom
The 9% Know Something You Don't — Yet
Dual earned value gauges and AI completion forecasting — the metrics that separate the 9% from everyone else.
Earned Value Performance
Both cost and schedule under pressure
Completion Forecast
PODBuilt for the 9%
Dual EVM Gauges
CPI and SPI displayed as speedometer gauges — instant visual comprehension of cost and schedule performance in one glance
AI-Predicted Completion
Machine learning analyzes daily performance data to forecast your real completion date and cost-at-completion
Automatic Alerts
When metrics cross thresholds, POD notifies the right people immediately — PMs, supers, and owners get the right level of detail
Performance Trends
7-day, 30-day, and project-to-date trend lines show whether corrective actions are working or if more intervention is needed
Variance Root Cause
Decompose budget and schedule variances by trade, activity, and cost code to find exactly where problems originate
Executive Summary
One-page project health summary that executives can read in 60 seconds — green/amber/red with AI-written narrative
“We were 6% over budget before anyone noticed. With POD, we caught a 1.5% variance in week two and corrected it in three days. That single catch saved us $340,000. The 91% statistic is real — but it doesn't have to include you.”
