Six Engines, One Graph

Conductor runs six analysis engines against the same graph-based project model. Each engine operates independently but shares data through the graph, so a Monte Carlo simulation automatically reflects CPM dependencies and EVM actuals.

Critical Path Method

Forward and backward pass through your project network. Float calculation for every task. Cross-project dependency tracking. Zero-slack identification surfaces the exact chain of tasks driving your delivery date.

Resource-Constrained Scheduling

RCPSP solver powered by OR-Tools CP-SAT. Capacity constraints per resource type, compliance deadline constraints from Comply, and optimized schedules that respect both resource limits and regulatory timelines.

Earned Value Management

Four-level aggregation: work package, project, program, portfolio. SPI and CPI computed from actual progress. EAC and ETC projections. Real-time cost and schedule variance at every level of the hierarchy.

Monte Carlo Simulation

Vectorized 10,000-sample simulation engine. PERT, lognormal, and triangular duration distributions. Bayesian conjugate priors that learn from completed task actuals. P50, P80, and P95 delivery dates with per-task criticality index.

Portfolio Optimization

Markowitz mean-variance optimization adapted for project portfolios. Graph-structural covariance captures dependency-driven risk correlation. Efficient frontier visualization, Sharpe-optimal project selection, and budget constraint enforcement.

What-If Analysis

In-memory scenario engine. Change resource allocations, task durations, dependencies, or budget constraints and see the impact instantly. Delta comparison against your baseline across CPM, EVM, and Monte Carlo results.

Cross-Product Integration

Bridges to the Rest of the Suite

Conductor does not exist in isolation. Four bridges connect project management to compliance, alignment, and orchestration.

Comply

Compliance deadlines from Comply become scheduling constraints in RCPSP. When a framework control has a regulatory deadline, Conductor enforces it in the optimized schedule automatically.

Coherence

Alignment predicates from Coherence feed into portfolio optimization as penalty terms. Misaligned projects receive risk adjustments that shift the efficient frontier toward better-aligned portfolios.

Codesign

Features in Codesign map to work packages in Conductor through FEATURE_IMPLEMENTS_WP edges. Progress in the agentic pipeline flows back as EVM actuals.
