The team needed to stay on time and on budget across complex DoD projects. Manual schedule estimation and critical path analysis were time-consuming and prone to inaccuracy. The team explored AI as a way to improve estimation quality by learning from historical project data.

The team feeds multiple past projects of similar nature to produce accurate estimation outputs. The approach is deliberately phased — crawl, walk, run — with custom integrations planned for future stages.
