Overruns, utilisation and absorbed scope get argued with anecdotes because the numbers live in three systems. Seven free tools join them — on your figures, with the arithmetic shown.
The Treepie Loop tools are seven free project management calculators and templates: an estimate vs actual audit, project margin, utilisation, billable hours and sprint capacity calculators, a scope change log and a project timeline template. They run in your browser on hours and rates you already hold, show their arithmetic, and are built for the arguments delivery teams usually settle with anecdotes.
Overrun against original estimate, by phase. Tap a phase to read its pattern — consistency is fixable, variance is a scoping problem.
The question each answers comes first. None of them needs Loop.
The audit is only as honest as its inputs. These four rules keep it that way.
Start with the one that matches what keeps coming up in your project reviews.
Delivery, finance and team leads argue about the same hours from different denominators.
The numbers live in three systems. Most teams settle the argument with whoever speaks last.
| Spreadsheets & email | Typical online PM calculator | Treepie Loop | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Utilisation denominator | Whatever the sheet assumed | Contracted hours, unstated | Available and nominal shown side by side |
| Estimate accuracy | Whole-project, from memory | Rarely offered | By phase, across five projects |
| Margin | At project close, if ever | Single blended figure | Recovery gap per phase |
| Scope change | Remembered selectively | Not covered | Absorbed column totalled per project |
| Cost to see the answer | An afternoon | An email address | Nothing |
Same rules everywhere: your figures, shown arithmetic, no email wall.
