    The challenge

    Program managers spent days each month assembling status, cost and schedule variance from four systems into a format the review board would accept. By the time a variance was explained, the month had moved on.

    What we did

    Business experts rewrote the reporting standard first, so that every program produced the same evidence in the same order. Engineers configured the packaged program-operations solution to assemble the pack from the systems of record, with the proof layer checking every figure against the source before a human ever sees it. Anything it cannot prove is flagged rather than filled in.
