Marapone FloatGuard

In development · coming soon

ARE YOU GOING TO
FINISH ON TIME?

FloatGuard runs real critical-path-method scheduling — the same forward and backward pass Primavera P6 or MS Project would run — against your own activities and predecessors, then tells you where the float actually is, what schedule logic is broken, and exactly how much time a delay event cost once float is spent. Opens on Pro and Firm once it ships; still being built today.

No screenshots or a demo run yet — those come from the finished application, not a mock-up, and go up here the moment it is done.

Where it picks up

Blueprint Auditor, SpecChecker, AI Estimator, Bid Leveler and ScopeGuard all live in pre-construction — takeoff, spec review, pricing, quote levelling, buyout. Once a job is awarded, none of them follow it into the field. FloatGuard is where the schedule risk half of execution starts.

What's built

FOUR SCREENS,
ONE SCHEDULE.

Dashboard

Where the schedule stands, today

Schedule variance against the baseline, critical path length, a near-critical watchlist for activities within five days of going critical, and in-progress activity tracking — one screen, not a report you have to build.

Schedule

The full CPM table

Early start, early finish, late start, late finish and float for every activity, with an inline Gantt-style timeline bar per row — computed from a real forward and backward pass, not a colour on a percentage.

Logic Check

What a scheduling consultant charges to find by hand

Unknown predecessor references, disconnected or dangling activities, circular dependencies, and negative float caused by a hard constraint date — flagged automatically, before the schedule is submitted rather than after it is questioned.

Delay Log / TIA

A drafted time-impact-analysis, on demand

Log delay events as excusable, non-excusable or concurrent against a specific activity. FloatGuard computes the net critical-path impact per event — an event only costs real time once it eats more days than the activity had float to absorb — and a "Copy Narrative" button drafts the writeup that goes into a claim or a schedule-extension request.

Why float, and not just a bar chart

A delay is not a delay until it eats float.

Most schedule software shows you bars moving. What actually determines whether a job finishes late — and whether an extension request survives review — is float: how many days an activity can slip before it pushes the finish date. FloatGuard runs the real CPM math so that number is computed, not guessed, and so a delay-narrative claim is backed by the same figures the schedule itself produces.

Built the same way as the five programs above it: one clear job, no feature sprawl, by people who have had to defend a schedule extension request and know what the reviewer actually asks for.

Pre-construction, then execution

Eight tools, one job, start to close-out.

Nothing to buy separately, ever

FLOATGUARD OPENS ON
PRO AND FIRM.

The same rule as everything else on the roadmap: anything shipping when you subscribe is included in what you subscribed to. Start on Pro or Firm today for the five programs that are live now, and FloatGuard appears in your dashboard the moment it ships — no upgrade fee, no new tier.
