17 Pending Decisions. 4 Killing Your Schedule.
Your architect has 17 open decisions. You've been waiting 11 days on average. Four of them are blocking critical path activities. And nobody has a dashboard that shows this — until the schedule slips and the owner starts asking questions.
The Invisible Schedule Killer
Nobody tracks decision velocity. So nobody sees the problem until the schedule slips — and by then, it's too late.
Your architect has 17 open decisions. You've been waiting 11 days on average. Nobody has a single view that shows this — until the schedule slips.
Four of those 17 decisions are blocking critical path activities. That's $16,800 per day in combined schedule exposure hiding in someone's inbox.
Most teams track decisions in email threads, spreadsheets, or meeting minutes. Nobody has a real-time view of decision velocity, aging, or cost impact.
When decisions stall, project momentum collapses. Crews idle. Workarounds compound. By the time the decision arrives, the damage is already done.
The Return on POD
What happens when every pending decision is visible, mapped to the schedule, and escalated automatically.
Decision Pipeline
Every pending decision — RFIs, submittals, change orders, design clarifications — mapped to the schedule with aging and cost impact.
Critical Path Flags
POD identifies which decisions affect critical path and calculates the daily cost of delay. Decision makers see the financial consequence.
Auto-Escalation
Configurable thresholds trigger automatic escalation when decisions age past your limit. No manual follow-up required.
Momentum Recovery
Teams with decision velocity tracking recover project momentum 40% faster because problems surface when they're still small.
The Decision Pipeline — 4 Valves Closed, Schedule Starving
Decisions flow through the pipeline. Closed valves block critical path. Downstream activities starve.
17 Pending Decisions. 4 Blocking Critical Path. Zero Visibility.
Critical path exposure and project momentum — the two metrics that turn decision chaos into schedule intelligence.
Critical Path Exposure
PODMomentum Score
PODSee Every Decision. Track Every Delay. Escalate Automatically.
Decision Pipeline Dashboard
Every pending decision with its owner, age, cost-per-day impact, and critical path status — all in one real-time view
Critical Path Mapping
POD maps decisions to schedule activities and flags which ones are on critical path. You see the schedule exposure before it becomes a delay.
Momentum Scoring
A composite score that tracks whether your project is accelerating, cruising, or decelerating — with the specific causes identified.
Decision Velocity Metrics
Track resolution time by decision type, by owner, by phase. Identify who is consistently slow and where the bottlenecks are.
Automated Escalation
Set thresholds per decision type. When aging passes your limit, POD escalates with the cost data attached — to the architect, owner, or internal team.
Morning Decision Briefing
Today's morning dashboard highlights the top 3 decisions most likely to cost you money today — with owner, age, and recommended action.
“We had 23 pending decisions and no idea which ones mattered. POD showed us that 5 were on critical path, costing us $22,000 per day combined. We escalated all 5 to the owner that afternoon. Three were resolved within 48 hours. That saved us 6 weeks of schedule.”
