Why AI-Driven Schedule Analytics Beat P6 Logs Every Time

Most project teams using Oracle Primavera P6 Pro rely on its built-in comparison tools like Claim Digger or manually generated logs. The problem? These reports are hard to interpret, siloed in scheduling teams, and require hours of manual effort to use.

IQ‑Insights changes the game.

We provide 100% transparent and accurate schedule analytics, powered by code—not just AI guesses. Our system converts plain-language questions into precise answers, giving you complete clarity into how your question was answered alsong with the raw data from the response available for download as csv or word files. 

Even better, IQ-Insights democratizes access to schedule intelligence—so owners, executives, field teams, and non-schedulers can get answers directly, without waiting on reports or deciphering raw exports.

1. Speed & Usability

P6 Users:

Schedule comparison exports generate large HTML tables or CSVs that require time-consuming formatting, filtering, and cleanup ().

IQ‑Insights:

Upload two or more schedules—IQ instantly produces a 30+ page comparison report in under five minutes, with interactive visuals and drill-down Q&A capabilities.

→ You get structured, actionable data—zero manual wrangling.


2. Contextual, Construct-Friendly Analytics

P6 Users:

Claim Digger covers field-by-field changes, but provides no context—e.g., missed float or logic issues—and its rigid outputs limit quick insights  .

IQ‑Insights:

Built for construction, IQ combines:

  • Critical path & float trend detection
  • DCMA 14-point health checks
  • Cost-performance and EVM insights
  • Logic and dependency analysis

All delivered in plain language, with natural language drill-downs for further clarity.

3. AI-Powered Flexibility

P6 Users:

Static dashboards only answer preset questions. Any follow-up requires new export or filter setup.

IQ‑Insights:

Dynamic Q&A lets teams ask any follow-up in plain English—like, “Which critical path tasks began in August?”—and get immediate answers  .

→ One dashboard, infinitely flexible.

4. Lower Total Cost

P6 Users:

Requires licenses (∼$4,000/yr per user), heavyweight installation, and specialized training  .

IQ‑Insights:

Browser-based SaaS—no installation, no maintenance, no training. AI updates continuously, empowering teams instantly and affordably.


5. Proven Outcomes: The Metrics

P6 Users:

No real ROI visibility—teams are left guessing about performance.

IQ‑Insights:

Peer tools like Nodes & Links (built on the same principles) show:

  • Up to 360 hours saved per month per team
  • 40× faster analysis cycle
  • 250–480% ROI on average

Bottom Line

P6 is built for scheduling—not for easy analytics. If you’re relying on P6 logs and manual analysis, you’re wasting time digging through static reports and trying to piece together the story yourself.
