Estimate overruns, utilisation targets and absorbed scope changes are all argued about with anecdotes, because the numbers live in three systems and nobody has time to join them.
These join them on the back of an envelope. None of them needs Treepie; all of them need you to be honest about the inputs. None of them asks for an email, and the arithmetic runs in your browser rather than on our servers.
Your figures, our arithmetic, shown. No address required to see a number.
The estimate versus actual audit is the one that changes behaviour. Five finished projects, broken down by phase, and the phase that always overruns becomes obvious in about ten minutes.
The utilisation calculator matters mostly for its denominator: available hours after leave and non-project time, not contracted hours. That single change usually moves the figure by ten points.
The scope change log is a template rather than a calculator, and the absorbed column is the one to total at the end of a project.
Every tool here runs on your figures, shows its arithmetic, and lets you leave with the result. None of them ask for an address before showing a number.
See the Loop journeys →If your projects overrun, start with the estimate versus actual audit. It is the fastest way to find out whether the problem is estimating or scoping.
If your margin is unpredictable, run the project margin calculator on a finished job first, so you can check the answer against what you already know.
Sold value, logged hours and cost rates per role. If you only have blended rates, use those and read the answer as a range.
Only if you agree the denominator. The tool asks you to set it explicitly, which is usually where two departments discover they disagree.
No. A project half delivered gives you the more useful number, because there is still time to act on it.
No. The arithmetic runs in your browser on figures you type in, and nothing is stored.
Yes. They are arithmetic on hours and rates you already hold, whatever records them today.
Tell us what you were trying to work out. Half of these exist because somebody asked for them.
