Critical path float and a real probability of finishing

What critical path float looks like on a governed record, and the checks a reader can run for themselves.

Critical path float is the kind of thing a construction project usually argues about after the fact, from memory, with the evidence spread across inboxes and spreadsheets. CONSTRUX treats it as a record: every change to it is an append-only, hash-chained event on the golden thread, written before it is acknowledged, so the question "what did we know, and when" has an answer rather than an opinion.

Where it goes wrong

The failure is rarely a missing number. It is a number that exists in three places and agrees in none of them — the site diary, the commercial report and the board paper each telling a slightly different story about critical path float, with nobody able to say which was true on the day it mattered. By the time the disagreement surfaces it is a dispute rather than a decision, and a dispute is priced by whoever kept the better record.

How CONSTRUX handles it

Critical path, float and a real probability of finishing on time. Forward and backward pass with total and free float, plus a PERT distribution that gives the completion date a confidence rather than a promise. Delay forecasts carry the recovery days they assume.

The agents watch the project; you decide. Eight agents read programme, cost, risk, contracts, design, field, handover and tender data continuously, and raise what they think should happen next — each with the records it read and what happens if you decline. Nothing runs until a nominated approver approves it.

Ask the project a question in plain English. The copilot routes your question to the engine that can answer it and shows the records behind the answer. Where it cannot answer, it says so rather than inventing a number.

A record you can replay is a record you can rely on.

What you can check for yourself

None of this asks for trust. Replay reconstructs a project from its own history and reports a root hash; a document issued from the platform carries a content hash that lets anybody verify a document against what was issued; and every AI-assisted step names the engine that produced it and the records it read. If critical path float matters on your projects, the demo environment runs the whole cycle on a seeded programme — open it, run it, and read the record it leaves behind.

See the record being made rather than described.
