Charter, business case, schedule, cost, risk, organisation and reporting — one controlled document set, every figure computed from the same data instead of retyped between spreadsheets.
Runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. A full sample project is already loaded.
Change a date in the schedule and the earned value, the gate readiness and the portfolio ranking all move with it.
Background, objectives, scope and exclusions, assumptions, dependencies, stakeholders and sign-off, with a revision history.
Cash flow to NPV, IRR, discounted payback and ROI, with scenarios, sensitivity grids, a tornado and break-even on every lever.
Critical path with float, rules of credit, baseline variance and a DCMA 14-point quality check. Exceptions are surfaced, not buried.
Budget to commitment to actual to estimate at completion, a quarterly rolling forecast, and a provision ledger with drawdowns.
Risks, actions, issues and decisions weighted on probability × impact, with the provision tested against live exposure.
Delegation of authority, the escalation ladder, the meeting cadence, and a RACI matrix driven from the organisation chart.
Who is on the project, at what rate, committed where else, and which weeks are over their availability cap.
Every project ranked on strategic value against what it consumes, with the funding line drawn where the envelope runs out.
Freeze the month, compare it with the last, and watch EAC, SPI, CPI and exposure move over time.
No proprietary model, no black box. The lifecycle is front-end loading with AACE estimate classes; earned value follows ANSI/EIA-748; the schedule check is the DCMA 14-point assessment; risk follows ISO 31000; the valuation is ordinary discounted cash flow. A provenance note ships with the product.
The whole workspace, in your browser.
The thinking behind the tool, and four agents that apply it.
Projects as files, a library, updates, support.
Prices exclude VAT where applicable. The method pack is a digital download; because it is delivered immediately it is non-refundable once downloaded — open the free demo first and make sure the approach suits how you work.
Project managers, PMO leads and sponsors running capital projects in manufacturing, process industry, building materials, energy and infrastructure — the kind of project that has a funding gate, a cost breakdown structure and a steering committee. It is built for projects between roughly €1M and €50M, where Primavera is too heavy and a spreadsheet is too light.
No. It covers what those do not: the business case, the cost breakdown with its commitment chain, the risk register with a funded provision, governance and gate readiness — joined to a schedule rather than separated from it. If you run a 4,000-activity construction programme, keep your scheduling tool and use Datum for the governance layer above it.
Nowhere. Datum Web keeps the workspace in your own browser; nothing is sent to a server. Back it up with one click as a JSON file you keep yourself. Datum Desktop stores projects as files on your own machine.
They are specialists that read a Datum workspace export and review it: a risk manager that tests the provision against live exposure and checks the register for untreated items, a business analyst that re-runs the case at the current forecast, a process expert for capacity and commissioning logic, and an engineering expert for schedule realism and estimate basis. They run in Claude Code on your own machine.
Yes — that is why the pack is sold separately. The handbook, the evaluation tools and the worked case stand on their own and work with whatever you currently use.
No. Every method traces to a published standard — AACE, ANSI/EIA-748, PMI, ISO 31000, DCMA — or is original to Datum. A provenance note listing each one ships with the product.
The demo opens with a complete capital project — schedule, cost, risk, business case and all.
