Controls Intelligence
Analytics built by controls professionals for capital programs: Power BI reporting, executive analytics, predictive forecasting, portfolio insight and scorecards leaders actually run the business on.
Controls data, made decision-grade.
Most capital organizations are not short of data. They are short of answers. Schedules, cost reports and field systems produce thousands of numbers every period, yet the questions a board asks remain stubbornly hard: which programs are genuinely at risk, where is contingency leaking, and how confident should we be in the date we announced?
RichardBarkley's Controls Intelligence practice starts from the controls side, not the software side. Our analysts understand float, earned value, cost-to-complete and P50/P80 as well as they understand data models, so what we build reflects how projects really behave. The result is reporting that reconciles to the schedule and the ledger, analysis that explains rather than decorates, and forecasts presented as honest ranges rather than single-point guesses.
Insight is only worth the decision it changes
A dashboard nobody acts on is a cost, not an asset. We begin every engagement by naming the decision, the person who makes it and the data date it depends on, then build backward from there.
Decision-first
Each report and model designed around a named decision and its owner.
Reconciled numbers
Figures that tie back to P6, the cost system and the ledger, every period.
Controls fluency
Analysts who know a critical path from a cost code, not just a chart type.
Restraint
Fewer measures, clearer visuals, and forecasts shown as ranges with stated confidence.
