17 structural checks: the full DCMA 14, plus 3 GanttScore checks that go beyond it~10s from drop to score$0 to see where you standStandard used across defense, construction & gov

What we check

Every score runs the same 17 structural checks. They fall into three buckets.

Logic validity

Missing predecessors and successors, open ends, leads and lags, and whether the network is well-connected enough to predict slippage.

Constraint violations

Hard constraints and negative float that override the logic and quietly break the critical path.

Resource & duration flags

Over-long tasks, insufficient detail, and unresourced work that hide where a schedule is really slipping.

Every scan runs the complete DCMA 14-Point Assessment (the same framework federal agencies use to vet contractor schedules), plus 3 GanttScore checks that go beyond it. Findings are then measured against the published criteria of the guides program reviewers actually work from, so you see what an auditor would see before they do. See all 17 checks

Checked against 8 federal and industry standards

Most tools check the DCMA 14 and stop. GanttScore measures your schedule against the published criteria of the federal and industry guides reviewers actually use, and reports every finding, not just a pass/fail.
