See What POD Sees
Every day, POD analyzes your project data and tells you exactly what to do next. These are real KPIs from our library of hundreds — with synced data telling real stories.
Not just charts. Not just dashboards. Actionable intelligence that saves time, money, and lives.
Your Critical Path Just Shifted — Do You Know?
Your scheduler updates the P6 file weekly. But 3 activities slipped yesterday and nobody noticed the critical path changed. You're now 12 days behind and don't know it.
Earned Value Quadrant
PODWhat most teams see:
A spreadsheet showing overall SPI of 0.87. "We're a little behind." No one knows which work packages are dragging the project down, or which one will cause the biggest delay.
What POD sees:
Every work package plotted on a 2D scatter — SPI vs CPI. Instantly, you see which packages are in the danger zone (bottom-left quadrant). The bigger the dot, the bigger the dollar value at risk.
Elevator Install and MEP Rough-In are both behind schedule AND over budget. Elevator Install has the lowest SPI (0.55) — at this rate, it will delay your CO by 18 days. POD recommends: Add a second elevator crew now ($14K) to avoid $89K in liquidated damages.
Your Cash Position in 6 Weeks — Can You Make Payroll?
You have $2.1M in the bank. Payroll is $340K/week. Three pay apps are pending ($890K total) but the owner is slow-paying. Will you run out of cash?
What most teams see:
A bank balance. Maybe a monthly cash flow spreadsheet updated last Tuesday. No one models forward with confidence bands. The crisis arrives as a surprise.
What POD sees:
An 8-week forward projection with confidence bands that widen as uncertainty grows. The lower band dips below zero at Week 6 — meaning there's a real probability you can't make payroll.
At current burn rate, you have a 34% chance of negative cash flow by Week 6. The $890K in pending pay apps have averaged 41 days to collect on this project. POD recommends: Submit Pay App #7 this Friday (3 days early) and call the owner's AP contact about the $340K Pay App #5 — it's 12 days past due.
Cash Flow Forecast
PODA Safety Incident Is Coming — POD Sees the Pattern
Your EMR is 0.82 — great. But near-misses have tripled in the last 2 weeks and your crews are averaging 54 hours/week. Nobody connects overtime to safety.
Leading Indicators
PODWhat most teams see:
An EMR of 0.82. "We're doing great on safety." The lagging indicators look fine — but lagging indicators only change AFTER someone gets hurt.
What POD sees:
Six leading indicators tracked in real time. When three of them trend negatively at the same time — near-miss velocity accelerating, overtime rising, toolbox attendance dropping — POD's Safety Watchdog AI recognizes the pattern.
Near-miss velocity has increased 180% in 14 days. Combined with 54-hour average weeks, POD's Safety Watchdog AI rates recordable injury probability at 73% within the next 10 working days. POD recommends: Mandatory 45-hour cap next week, targeted safety stand-down on Monday for the two crews with the highest near-miss counts (Crew B and Crew D).
Which Recovery Option Saves You the Most?
You're 22 days behind schedule. The owner wants a recovery plan by Friday. Your options: add crews, work overtime, re-sequence, or accept the delay. Which costs least? Which risks least?
What most teams see:
A gut-feel debate in the OAC meeting. "Let's just add more guys." "Can we work Saturdays?" No one has modeled the cost, risk, or ROI of each option.
What POD sees:
Four concrete recovery strategies, each ranked by days recovered, cost, risk level, and ROI. Not opinions — numbers.
Re-sequencing MEP and Interior Framing recovers 8 of 22 days at $12K — the highest ROI option (8.5x). Combine with targeted weekend OT on critical path activities only (not all trades) to recover the remaining 14 days for an additional $45K instead of $89K. Total recovery: 22 days for $57K vs $165K for the 2nd shift option.
Project Recovery Playbook
PODYour Project's Vital Signs — At a Glance
The owner asks "How's the project going?" You say "Good." But what does that mean? Can you quantify it? Can you prove it?
Project DNA
PODWhat most teams see:
Separate reports for schedule, budget, safety, quality — each in a different format, updated at different times, owned by different people. No single view. No single number.
What POD sees:
A circular genome with 6 health dimensions, each backed by 3 sub-scores. One number — 84% — tells the whole story. The rings instantly show where to focus: Labor and Risk are pulling the score down.
Overall project health is 84% (Good). But Labor (75%) and Risk (70%) are dragging the score down. Labor morale dropped from 85% to 70% over the last 3 weeks — correlating with the overtime increase. Risk contingency is at 65% — you've burned $180K of your $280K contingency with 40% of work remaining. POD recommends: Address the overtime/morale issue first and request a $50K contingency increase at the next OAC meeting.
The Weather Is About to Cost You $340K — Unless You Act Now
A 5-day rain event is forecast for next week. Your concrete pour is scheduled for Tuesday. If it slips, the formwork crew sits idle, the pump rental extends, and the steel crew can't start on time.
Weather Impact Chain
PODWhat most teams see:
A weather forecast on their phone. "Looks like rain next week." No one calculates the downstream cost of a weather delay — the idle crews, the extended rentals, the ripple effect on every trade that follows.
What POD sees:
A cascade diagram: weather event → delayed activities → dollar impact. Each domino falling, with the cost attached. The total: $340K if you do nothing.
5-day rain forecast will cascade to $340K in delays if the concrete pour stays on Tuesday. POD's Weather Planner AI recommends: Move the concrete pour to Saturday (2 days earlier, $8K weekend premium). This eliminates the entire cascade. Net savings: $332K. The formwork crew is available Saturday — POD has already checked their schedule.
Stop Reacting. Start Knowing.
These six scenarios happen on every project. The difference is whether you find out in time to act — or after it's too late.
