Math assumes IPSYS replaces roughly 90% of the mechanical review — DCMA-14, change detection, longest-path discovery, WBS audit, EVM checks, draft narrative generation. Your judgment still drives the final 10%, where it should. Subscription nets at $299/month against the labor value reclaimed; Step 1 is always free.

Monday morning, two ways

What the schedule review feels like — before and after.

Three jobs · One workflow

IPSYS doesn't replace a check. It replaces the cycle.

Every capability below works alone. They earn their keep working together — across the seven-step review you already do, just compressed into the afternoon you actually have.

01

Know what changed — and what it means — the moment a new XER hits your inbox.

Period-over-period change detection, milestone drift, and float path shifts surfaced and severity-ranked before you've finished your coffee. You walk into the kickoff already knowing which conversations will actually matter.

  • Intelligent change classification scores every schedule modification by impact — added activity, logic change, duration shift, late finish — so you triage in minutes, not hours.
  • Milestone variance trending tracks drift across multiple updates so a slow-creeping slip becomes obvious before it becomes a claim.
  • Multi-path float analysis evaluates up to 50 float paths simultaneously — the true critical path AND every near-critical path waiting to bite.
02

Walk into any review meeting with the contractor's actual story in your hand — not the one they're about to tell you.

Drop in the contractor's XER. See what they progressed, what they changed, and where they're tracking against last month's update — before they walk you through their narrative. You stop reacting to the contractor's version of the period. You start running the meeting with questions backed by evidence they can't paper over.

  • Period-over-period progress analysis shows what got executed since the last update — earned activities, completed milestones, where the work actually advanced.
  • Variance against the previous update flags activities tracking behind their prior dates — so the gap between what was projected last month and what was delivered is on the table before the contractor frames it.
  • Schedule logic and constraint changes highlight every relationship, lag, or constraint the contractor modified — the kind of edits that change the schedule's behavior without changing its activities.
  • Multi-audience narratives draft from your data for executive, owner, or technical audiences — review and refine before any export carries your name.
03

Replace the entire monthly review cycle with a 7-step workflow you actually trust.

From XER upload to signed-off narrative, version-controlled end-to-end, with you in the loop at every gate. Not automation that bypasses your judgment — automation that finally respects it.

  • Smart Schedule Wizard orchestrates all seven steps in a single progressive flow — upload, validate, analyze, narrate, review, export, archive.
  • Version-controlled outputs mean every report is reproducible, comparable, and tied to the exact XER that produced it.
  • Built on real review practice — methodology distilled from 35 years of running CPM reviews, not retrofitted from generic project management software.
  • Human-in-the-loop by design — review every recommendation, accept, edit, or reject. The AI drafts. You decide.
Ask IPSYS · Contextual learning

The output isn't the end. It's where the conversation starts.

Every metric on every screen is one click from a plain-English read on what it means for your project. Not a help doc. Not a generic tooltip. A real interpreter loaded with your actual numbers — ready to explain CPI, TCPI, float erosion, or any DCMA flag in the language you'd use with an executive.

“Why is my CPI at 0.96?”
Reads your actual cost data, not a textbook.
“What does TCPI of 1.02 mean for my project?”
Plain English, tied to your forecast.
“What does my 57% compliance score mean?”
Connects DCMA findings to consequences.

We're not just automating the analysis. We're building the bench. The analyst on your team who clicks “Ask IPSYS” today is the senior advisor sitting next to you in five years — because every report becomes a teaching moment, not a deliverable to ship and forget. Buying IPSYS isn't just buying a tool. It's buying succession planning for your controls function.

Where we are today

IPSYS is in production with senior controls professionals on real commercial projects. We onboard selectively — working with each new client through their first review cycle to make sure the platform's outputs match their practice — because at this stage every client's feedback shapes the product as much as the product serves the client. SOC 2 Type I certification is in flight for September 2026, and the platform was the subject of presentations at the AACE Metro NY 2026 chapter meeting and the AACE Northeast 2026 Symposium.

If you're evaluating whether IPSYS fits your work, we'd rather start with a working session on one of your actual schedules than a sales pitch.

Upload your XER. See it the way IPSYS reads it.

Step 1 is free. Import the XER and get a structural read on your WBS — depth, decomposition, naming, hierarchy quality, critical-path density. Paste in the contractor's narrative and watch IPSYS parse it into auditable items. Walk away with a written summary, tuned to your audience, exportable to Word. Same afternoon, no card. Schedule Health (DCMA & cost), Change Detection, Longest Path, Milestone Variance, the Gantt View, and the Executive Summary — that's what Steps 2 through 7 are for.

Upload your XER

If what comes back matches what you already suspect, you've validated. If it doesn't, you've learned something the metrics didn't tell you.
