What's live. What's next.
tectm is the live margin instrument for contractors. The budget, the program and the margin are live today. Here's everything that's running, and the roadmap it's growing into.
Cost-loaded program
A logic-driven CPM schedule that shares your budget's data. Forward and backward pass, FS/SS/FF/SF links with lags, float and the critical path, immutable baselines and slippage, Excel import with a strict validator. Cost-load it and every budget line time-phases into planned value, then the site diary closes the loop and earned-value forecasting does the rest.
- Forward/backward pass · float · critical path
- FS/SS/FF/SF + lags
- Baselines + slippage
- Excel import (validated)
- Cost-loaded → planned value
- EVM: SPI / CPI / EAC
- Diary closed-loop progress
- Projected-margin strip

Budget & live margin
Hierarchical budget lines, trade- and cost-type-tagged, five values each. Actuals light up from certified claims and finalised diary cost; the forecast rides on earned-value performance; the margin is revenue earned minus cost incurred, live at every level.

AI contract review
Drop in a contract and the Tectus engine reads every clause on ingest. A three-pass extraction (table-of-contents map, structured fields, free-text scan) pulls the rates, retention, milestones and risk, each field cited to its source clause and page with a confidence score. The document is indexed at the same time, ready for the conversational Tectus assistant that's coming next.
- Reads every clause on ingest
- Cited to exact clause + page
- Per-field confidence scores
- Three-pass extraction (5 buckets)
- You confirm before it applies
- Per-project contract RAG index
- Risk-clause extraction
- ≈90% on our internal extraction test suite
Coming next · Tectus chat
Cited Q&A across your contracts, permission-aware; the contracts are already indexed for it.

Internal rate cards
Org-scoped labour and plant rates with date-effective costs, RLS-isolated, never returned to the parties above or engaged contractors below.
Cost-codes roll-up
Every docket, PO and diary line carries a cost code; cost rolls up to the budget at capture time, with a dedicated roll-up page by code.
Substantiation export
On-demand PDF or zip: payment claim, substantiation, statutory dec, invoice and insurance, every line traced to source.
Variations
Five line types, approval chain, audit trail.
Payment certificates
Your response to a claim: what you agree to pay, locked to the claimed docket version.
Date-effective rates
No pyramiding, break deduction, escalation-aware, governing principle of the data contract.
Site diary
Two tracks (own-forces work and engaged-contractor dockets) each closing independently. Your record of the day.
