An Unbroken Chain from Raw Source to Governed Decision
PEIS processes complex project documentation through a structured, 8-stage evaluation pipeline. Every conclusion is cryptographically anchored to verbatim source evidence, ensuring rigorous traceability and evidence-grounded analytical rigor.
Deterministic Processing with Full Provenance
Trace how unstructured project archives progress into court-ready evaluation dossiers.
Source Ingestion & Content Normalization
Heterogeneous project records—contracts, specifications, schedule baselines (XER/XML), RFIs, daily logs, submittals, meeting minutes, and change requests—are ingested and cataloged with SHA-256 cryptographic fingerprints to verify evidence immutability.
- Ingested Formats: PDF, P6 XER/XML, MSG/EML, DOCX, XLSX
- Normalization: OCR, layout preservation, coordinate bounding
- Integrity: Permanent immutable document hash assigned
Requirement Identification
Extracts and structures contractual covenants: strict notice timing requirements (e.g. "written notice within 10 calendar days"), submittal review turnaround windows, baseline schedule update intervals, differing site conditions protocols, and milestone liquidated damages provisions.
- Extraction: Notice triggers, milestone dates, turnarounds
- Classification: Mandatory covenants vs procedural guidelines
- Schema: Normalized clause graph with contract coordinates
Evidence Extraction & Mapping
Factual occurrences are isolated with exact temporal stamps and author/recipient metadata. PEIS builds an integrated event graph connecting RFI submissions, architect responses, field directives, inspector logs, weather records, and progress photo timestamps.
- Temporal Graph: Multi-party chronological ordering
- Cross-Referencing: RFI-to-Submittal-to-Change linkages
- Provenance: Verbatim text excerpts with byte/page bounds
Evaluation & Compliance Synthesis
Evaluates factual execution records against established contractual covenants. The engine checks timeline adherence (was notice timely submitted?), deliverable completeness (were mandatory attachments provided?), and schedule impact correlation (did the event affect critical path activities?).
- Compliance Checks: Notice timeliness & procedural validity
- CPM Correlation: As-planned vs as-built critical path alignment
- Coverage: Requirement coverage matrices with full audit trails
Contradiction & Variance Detection
Conflicting assertions across documents are flagged immediately. For example, if a contractor claim asserts site access was barred on Day 45, but contemporaneous daily inspection logs indicate active steel erection by 12 workers on that exact date, PEIS isolates the conflict with dual-source citations.
- Cross-Matching: Multi-stakeholder assertion comparison
- Dual Citation: Supporting vs counter-evidence alignment
- Confidence: Factual disparity scoring and human escalation
Evidence-Supported Finding Generation
Discrete evaluations, CPM schedule variances, and verified facts are synthesized into structured, defensible findings. Every finding includes unbroken provenance breadcrumbs linking each assertion directly to underlying source files and line coordinates.
- Dossier Assembly: Fact-based narrative synthesis
- Citation Breadcrumbs: Document ID, Page, Paragraph anchors
- Repeatability: Deterministic reproducibility across test runs
Risk & Exposure Analysis
Findings are mapped into programmatic and commercial exposure matrices: critical path delay exposure (calendar days), cumulative cost claim liabilities, constructive change vulnerability, and potential liquidated damage assessments.
- Schedule Exposure: Critical path float consumption deltas
- Notice Liability: Forfeiture risk quantification
- Dispute Matrix: Claim strength and defense posture scoring
Human Professional Review & Decision
The analytical process terminates in human hands. Project managers, legal counsel, and executive decision-makers review the synthesized evidence dossier, adjust weightings if warranted, and exercise authoritative judgment. PEIS strictly serves as an analytical co-pilot—never an autonomous decision-maker.
- Authorization Gate: Mandatory human sign-off on determinations
- Audit Log: Reviewer identity, comments, and decision timestamp
- Export Formats: Audit packages, legal exhibits, executive briefs
Dependency-Aware Revalidation: Integrity in Motion
Complex projects are dynamic. New documents arrive constantly: revised CPM schedules are submitted, dispute notices are issued, or historical records are clarified.
In traditional static analysis, adding new documents requires restarting the entire review from scratch. In PEIS, the evaluation graph is dependency-aware:
When an upstream evidence item is updated, added, or revised, PEIS flags all downstream evaluations, contradictions, findings, and risk scores as "Pending Revalidation" until the updated evidence is propagated through the rule chain.
