Use cases
One toolkit, four sides of the same dispute
TideLine is used by the people who build the claim, the people who test it, and the people who have to explain it in a hearing room.
Contractors
You need an EOT claim that survives review, prepared while the job is still running.
- ■Window analysis on contemporaneous updates instead of a hindsight reconstruction
- ■Delay and EOT registers that grow with the project, not at the end of it
- ■Evidence packs linking each event to the record that proves it
Owners & PMs
You need to test a claim quickly and know where the real critical path moved.
- ■Baseline-to-update comparison exposing logic and duration changes
- ■DCMA 14-point health checks on every submitted programme
- ■Critical-path movement tracked update by update
Claims consultants
You bill for analysis, not for rebuilding spreadsheets on every instruction.
- ■Repeatable analysis across multiple matters and clients
- ■Presentation-grade exhibits in minutes, in your own layout
- ■Reproducible results from the original P6 export
Legal & expert witness
You need methodology you can explain and figures you can defend in cross.
- ■Transparent, protocol-aligned methods with an audit trail
- ■Exhibits formatted for adjudication, arbitration and court
- ■Source data untouched so the opposing expert can replicate the run
Typical scenarios
Extension of time claim
Prove entitlement window by window with contemporaneous critical-path evidence.
Delay defence
Rebut a claim by testing its baseline, logic and float assumptions.
Programme assurance
Screen every submitted update against DCMA and integrity checks before acceptance.
Time impact analysis
Model fragment insertion and quantify the prospective effect of an event.
Disruption & productivity
Track earned-value curves across updates to show loss of productivity.
Board and client reporting
Produce a single-page programme board that a non-scheduler can read.
