Four ways we help
We offer holistic planning services. We plan with you or for you. We teach your people how to do it. And we improve the processes around your planning — the planning processes themselves, and the processes that feed them and depend on them — at project or portfolio level. Every engagement ends the same way: a schedule your team can defend, and a team that knows why.
Three things to know before you read on.
- Free for as long as you give us honest feedback. The first consultation and the use of our tool cost you no money. What we ask for instead is your honest feedback — what worked, what did not, what you would change. Feedback is the price.
- We ask for no data from you. We do not collect your data and we keep none of it. Where a job needs your schedule file, you keep the original, we delete our copy the moment the work is done, and we keep no backups. Nothing we see of your project goes into our marketing without your separate, written permission — case studies are opt-in only.
- We answer the feedback. We collect it, we assess it, and the product and the service change because of it. Your feedback comes back to you as an improvement, not as silence.
1. Planning services — with you, or for you
We drive, or we sit beside you. For teams who want the outcome. Evangelos Kourentzis — chartered mechanical engineer, in engineering consultancy since 2006, P6 expert — works directly on your schedule for a defined block of days, alongside your team or fully on your behalf. Typical engagements:
- Second opinion — one session. You send one schedule; we review it live with you in a 45-minute screen-share and point at the things you did not know were there. You decide what to do next.
- Logic audit — full review of an existing programme, written report on what would and would not survive contact with a real critical-path analysis.
- Schedule rebuild — your existing schedule rebuilt against best-practice CPM logic, delivered back in P6 or MSP format.
- Embedded planning support — a fixed period alongside your team during a critical stage (tender, claim, recovery plan).
- Expert witness / forensic — schedule reconstruction and delay analysis for disputes. Available subject to conflict checks.
What it costs: the first consultation — the second-opinion session — is free, for as long as you give us honest feedback. Beyond it, a day rate, agreed in advance and fixed for the engagement length. Quoted on request.
What you give us: the schedule file the job needs (XER, CSV or MSP), named contacts on your side, and an NDA if your project is sensitive (we sign yours, or use a short two-page one if you do not have a standard).
What we promise: plain English, and the work is done by Evangelos personally. Your schedule files are deleted from our side as soon as the work is done. You keep the files for your future work. We keep no backups of them. All we ask for is your feedback.
How to start: Book a scoping call — a 30-minute conversation about your project size, sensitivity and timeline before we quote.
2. Teach you how to do it
You drive. We coach. Workshops and hands-on coaching for your planners and for the people around them — engineers, project managers, commercial leads — on how to build, read, challenge and defend a schedule. On your own project, in your own software, so the learning sticks.
What it costs: a day rate per workshop or coaching block, agreed in advance. Quoted on request.
What you give us: your people, a room or a screen, and one of your own schedules to work on during the session. It stays on your machines.
What we promise: no slides-only theory. Your team leaves able to do the next one without us. All we ask for is your feedback.
How to start: Ask about a workshop.
3. Improve the processes around planning
We map. You decide. Planning fails at the joints — where engineering, procurement, commercial, site and quality hand work to the planner and take dates back. We look at the planning process itself and at every process that feeds it or depends on it, at project or portfolio level, and we set out what to change, in what order, and why. This is the founder’s quality-management background applied to planning.
What it costs: a fixed scope and a fixed fee, agreed in advance. Quoted on request.
What you give us: time with the people who own each process. We work from what they tell us and show us. Nothing leaves your organisation.
What we promise: a written map of the processes as they are, a short list of changes ranked by effect, and the reasoning behind each one. All we ask for is your feedback.
How to start: Book a scoping call.
4. Supply you with a network-based planning tool, LogicReader
You drive. We supply and support. When you want the way of working to carry on inside your own team, we supply LogicReader, our network-based planning tool, and support your people in it. The tool is not the service. It is what the service leaves behind.
- Pilot on one live project — a 30-day engagement. We set up a private workspace, load your baseline and current schedules, and give you and your team direct access. Two scheduled review sessions; reachable for questions in between. At the end, a written report: the logic health of your schedule against good scheduling practice, the top ten links worth a second look — by your planner, not by us — and the features you used most.
- Licence for your team — after the pilot, or straight away.
What it costs: using LogicReader is free for as long as you use it and give us honest feedback. What the paid tier adds is on the tool’s own page at logicreader.io. The pilot is a fixed fee, agreed in advance; it scales with project size, so it is quoted on request.
What you give us: named contacts on your side (typically a planner and a project manager), and a willingness to tell us when we are wrong.
What we promise: a fixed deliverable. You leave the pilot with a written report you can show your client, your sponsor or your auditor, whether or not you renew. What the tool does with a schedule you load into it is set out in the tool’s own privacy notice at logicreader.io, not on this page.
How to start: Book a scoping call.
Which one fits
- Need an expert to fix, audit or defend a programme → Planning services
- Want a second opinion on one schedule, fast → Planning services (the second-opinion session)
- Want your own people to do it next time → Teach you how to do it
- Planning keeps failing at the hand-offs → Improve the processes around planning
- Want the tool in your team, or a pilot on a live project → LogicReader
You can move between them. Many start with a second opinion, come back for a workshop, and put the tool on the next project they win. There is no obligation at any step.
What we will not do
- Sell you software you cannot use yet. The desktop build is in active development. We will not list it on a price page until it exists.
- Recommend an engagement size larger than you need. If one second-opinion session tells you what you needed to know, we will say so.
- Take on a project that’s already in trouble without saying so. Making the logic visible does not retroactively rescue a programme that was built on faulty inputs — and we will tell you, before you sign anything, if that is what you have.
How we design anything we offer
Five principles. They shape every product we build and every service we deliver. Plain-English rules we hold ourselves to — not aspirations. They govern every line of code we write and every engagement we take on. We will give up a feature, a fee or a deadline to keep them. We will not give them up for any of those.
01. Built for one person, sold to the team.
The first user is always one person: a planner with a schedule they cannot defend, an engineer who needs an answer today. We design the service and the software for that one person. The team follows because that person already trusts the result. The procurement portal is the last thing we design for.
02. Designed to be reached.
One person should be able to afford to work with us — their own seat, their own second opinion — without a sign-off chain. We would rather be used by many than be expensive for a few. Reach is the point, and it is how good planning spreads.
03. Pragmatic now, portable later.
We pick the fastest, most capable way to do today’s job — for you and for ourselves — and we write down the way out before we walk in. Sovereignty matters to us; it is never a blocker. Every choice we make, from the tools we build with to the suppliers we contract, has a documented path to move. Neither you nor we are ever trapped.
04. The method is ours. The outcomes are yours.
We tell you what our work does for you: a schedule you can defend, a team that knows why, a process that stops failing at the joints. We keep how we get there to ourselves. That is what lets us move fast — and it is why the result you hold is honest, because nobody can game a method they cannot see.
05. The power of feedback.
Every job ends with the same question: what worked, what did not, what would you change? We put real effort into asking it, and more into answering it. Feedback is collected, assessed and turned into the next improvement — in the software and in the way we work. This is continuous improvement, and it is why we ask you for feedback instead of money at the start. It is the most valuable thing you can give us.
And your data stays yours — in our services we keep none of it, and what LogicReader does, and never does, with a schedule you load is set out in full at logicreader.io/trust/.
The dream
Planning made democratic.
Open to everyone — not only the planner with the licence, but every person who has to live with the schedule. Collaborative — built with the people who do the work, so the schedule becomes something a whole project can stand behind. Sustainable — it lasts because the people who use it keep making it better, and because nobody has to pay more than they can afford to be part of it.
That is what CosmosPM is for. Everything on this page is a step towards it.
