Your project in one score.
Rate five dimensions and see them roll into one weighted health score, the number you can put in front of anyone who does not have time to read every report.
A project health score rolls schedule, budget, safety, quality, and risk into one weighted number out of 100. This tool weights schedule and budget at 25 percent each, safety at 20, and quality and risk at 15 each. Higher is better; the lowest dimension tells you where to act first.
Rate each dimension
On the baseline? Milestones holding?
Costs tracking to plan? Margin intact?
Incident-free? Leading indicators healthy?
First-pass inspections? Rework low?
Threats contained? Contingency adequate?
Project Health
Holding, but at least one area needs attention
Lowest right now: Risk at 60. Start there.
A gut-check is a start. A score from real data is the point.
Here you rate each dimension by hand. POD reads the daily reports, schedules, cost files, and safety logs your team already produces and computes each dimension from the actual numbers, so the score updates itself as the work happens.
One number, fast
A single weighted score is how you tell an owner or exec where a project stands without making them read five separate reports.
The breakdown matters
Two projects can share a score for very different reasons. The per-dimension view shows which one is dragging the number, so you know where to act.
Weighted, not averaged
Schedule and budget carry more weight than a flat average would give them, so the score reflects what actually moves a project.
Questions & answers
A project health score rolls several dimensions, typically schedule, budget, safety, quality, and risk, into a single weighted number so you can see overall status at a glance. It is a fast way to communicate where a project stands to anyone who does not have time to read every report.
Method & sources
The score is a weighted composite of schedule, budget, safety, quality and risk inputs, each normalized to a common scale before weighting. A single number is a headline, not a diagnosis — two projects can share a score for opposite reasons, so the component breakdown matters more than the total. The weights reflect typical priorities and can reasonably differ by owner, phase and delivery method.

The weights are yours to set; the score just follows them.
Score every project automatically.
POD scores project health continuously from the reports your teams already file and rolls every job into one portfolio view, so the project sliding toward trouble raises its hand first.
