Performance measured, not guessed.
Earned value systems that compare what you planned, what you spent and what you actually got, so CPI and SPI tell you where the project is heading while there is still time to act.
Why it matters.
Percent complete is often a feeling
Without defined earning rules, progress is whatever someone says it is. Earned value replaces opinion with measurement.
On budget can mean behind
Spending exactly to plan looks healthy until you realize less work was done for the money. Earned value exposes that gap early.
Oversight bodies expect it
Federal agencies and regulators often require EVMS-compliant reporting. A weak system can put funding and credibility at risk.
How we work.
- 01
Performance measurement baseline
Scope, schedule and budget integrated into one baseline, with control accounts and work packages that match how the work is managed.
- 02
Earning rules
Clear, objective rules for measuring progress on each type of work, agreed before the first period is reported.
- 03
ANSI/EIA-748 alignment
Systems, processes and documentation aligned with the ANSI/EIA-748 EVMS guidelines where agencies require compliance.
- 04
Variance analysis
Cost and schedule variances explained at the control account level, with corrective actions and owners assigned.
- 05
Independent EAC
Estimates at completion built from performance indices and checked against bottom-up forecasts, so the trend and the plan agree.
What you receive.
Every engagement is scoped to the project. These are the core outputs clients can expect.
Integrated scope, schedule and budget with control accounts defined.
Processes and procedures documented for agency or regulator review.
Earned value metrics, trends and variance explanations every period.
Root causes and corrective actions for every breach of agreed thresholds.
Forecast cost at completion and variance at completion, with the method stated.
EVMS that passed agency scrutiny.
The federal facility was delivered under strict agency oversight. We built an EVMS-compliant performance baseline, set objective earning rules for every work package and produced monthly CPI, SPI and variance reporting the agency could audit line by line.

Questions clients ask us.
Is earned value only for federal projects?
No. Any owner who wants to know whether the money spent bought the progress expected can benefit. Federal and regulated work simply requires it more often.
What do CPI and SPI actually tell us?
CPI shows how much work you get for each dollar spent. SPI shows how much work is done against how much was planned. Below 1.0 on either is an early warning.
Can you set up EVM on a project already underway?
Yes. We establish a baseline from the current scope, schedule and budget, document the starting point and measure from there.
