Raziel

Schedule analysis for construction contractors — DCMA compliance, critical path, and delay diagnosis, hands-free, just ask Raziel.

How much time does your team spend manually checking schedule compliance before a monthly update? If the answer is more than an hour, you're doing it wrong. Raziel checks your P6 schedule against the DCMA fourteen-point standard in seconds — and tells you exactly which activities are putting your contract at risk.

Raw schedule in. Actionable judgment out.

Here's what Raziel's engine reported on a public sample schedule, anonymized (activity names replaced): 66 activities (63 tasks, 3 milestones) and 84 relationships, planned May 2012 to February 2013. It has no baseline and no progress, so the three baseline checks can't be scored.

DCMA 14-point
7 pass · 3 fail
1 warning, 3 not scored (no baseline in the file)
Fix first: lags
36.8%
of logic links carry a lag (DCMA guideline: 5% or less)
Relationship types
76.3% FS
finish-to-start (guideline: 90% or more)
High float
10 of 63
tasks over 44 days of total float (15.9%, guideline 5%)
Critical / near-critical
36 / 12
critical or on the driving path / within 5 days of float
Logic density
1.27
relationships per activity, under the 1.4 guideline (Raziel add-on, not DCMA)

Open ends, negative float, hard constraints and invalid dates all came back clean. A red result is a reason to dig deeper, not proof the schedule is bad.

Source: the public sample airport.xer from the GitHub repository JaiLaff/XER-Splitter (GPL-3.0). For this demo we replaced activity names and neutralized project, WBS, calendar and resource names. Logic, durations, dates, float and activity IDs are unchanged, and Raziel's results are identical to the original file. Neither file is hosted or offered for download here. Critical path figures come from P6's stored float and driving-path flags, not recalculated.

Built by someone who lives in schedules.

I'm a third-generation electrician and a PMP-certified scheduler with fifteen years in the field. I built Raziel because I watched too many good schedules fail on technicalities.

Why the name Raziel

In Jewish mystical tradition, Raziel is the angel of secrets. He's said to have written them down in a book, known as the Book of Raziel (Sefer Raziel HaMalakh). Every schedule holds secrets too: open ends, float nobody's tracking, a critical path nobody's watching. Raziel finds them and writes them down in plain English, so you can fix them before they cost you.

No dashboard, no login — just ask Raziel.

Raziel is a hosted MCP server with five tools. Upload your P6 XER export, and get back actionable schedule intelligence:

  • parse_xer — ingests your P6 export: project, data date, activities, relationships
  • dcma_check — fourteen-point compliance, pass/fail per point with thresholds
  • critical_path — the driving path, durations, float, near-critical count
  • drift_report — current vs. baseline: slipped activities, float erosion, logic changes
  • delay_diagnosis — traces a delay to root cause: logic, duration, or resource

Stop rebuilding the same reports every update.

Every update period it's the same grind: export the schedule, rebuild the same layouts, re-filter, re-format, paste into the deck. Hours of work to produce the reports you already produced last month. Raziel does that part on demand.

Option 1: Pick a report template

Choose from 10 of the most-used schedule reports, prefilled with your own P6 (XER) data:

  1. DCMA 14-Point Schedule Assessment: pass/fail on each of the 14 checks, with the activities that fail
  2. Critical Path Report: the driving path to completion, with durations and float
  3. Near-Critical Path Report: activities within a few days of going critical, before they do
  4. Float Erosion Trend: how total float moved since last period, and where it's burning fastest
  5. Baseline Variance Report: start and finish variance against baseline, worst slips first
  6. 3-Week Look-Ahead: work starting and finishing in the next three weeks, ready for the foremen's meeting
  7. Schedule Logic Health Check: open ends, dangling logic, constraints, leads, lags, and SF relationships
  8. Period-over-Period Change Log: what changed since the last update: dates, durations, logic, added and deleted activities
  9. Milestone Status Report: key and contract milestones: forecast vs. baseline, with float
  10. Activity Status & Progress Report: what started, what finished, what's behind, and what's out of sequence

Option 2: Order a custom report
