Add the schedule, narrative and previous commitments. ProjectLens shows what changed materially, what the narrative leaves out and which decisions need attention.

Human decisionEach finding becomes a question for a person to answer.
01 · Evidence intake
Build the submission pair
XER does not guarantee a complete baseline, risk record or schedule narrative. ProjectLens shows what it received before drawing conclusions.
Optional assurance evidence
Show what the XER cannot prove alone
Attach what is available. Missing items remain visible in the completeness report and limit the conclusions.

02 · Evidence completeness
Missing evidence
ProjectLens reports what the submission can and cannot support before presenting findings.
03 · Executive readoutDECISION SUPPORT

04 · Claims to challengeNARRATIVE TEST
05 · Path sensitivityEXPORTED FLOAT
Critical and near-critical evidence
Uses exported total float and relationships. ProjectLens does not recalculate the P6 critical path.
06 · Decision reconciliationAPPROVAL TRACE
Approval check for each change
Matches activity codes and decision language. Unlinked changes become questions for the team.
07 · Baseline movementCOMMITMENT TRACE
Current dates against baseline
A baseline comparison appears only when a separate baseline schedule is supplied.
08 · Material change funnel
Material changes, ranked
Executive view shows the smallest useful queue. Analyst view retains the wider material set.
09 · Submission fitnessINPUT GATE
10 · Integrity findingsRULES AS CODE
11 · Assurance questions
Questions for the team
Each question retains the evidence that produced it. Add the useful ones to the local review log and assign an owner.
12 · Intervention follow-through
Follow-up on earlier actions
When a later submission is reviewed for the same project, ProjectLens checks whether linked signals resolved, repeated or cannot yet be assessed.
13 · Decision memory
Review log
Actions are stored in this browser only. When the next XER arrives, the team can see whether the questioned signal was resolved or repeated.
This review compares exported schedule evidence. It is not a forecast and does not establish contractual entitlement, causation or a probability of failure.
Oracle documents XER as a proprietary exchange format, notes that baseline export is not supported in the standard XER comparison, and states that P6 EPPM XER exports omit risk data. Financial-period exports also contain only periods with values for the project.
