Why PRISM™ Exists

Most commercial disputes are visible long before they become formal claims.

PRISM™ helps project leaders detect early commercial deterioration by connecting site progress, contract entitlement, notices, evidence, delay responsibility and margin exposure into one structured visibility system.

Framework Architecture

The Five PRISM™ Dimensions

P

Project Position

Establishes the true current position of the project by reviewing progress status, delay trends, major constraints, contractor obligations and employer-side dependencies.

R

Risk Visibility

Identifies hidden risks that are commercially material but often underreported, including weak notices, unclear responsibility, disputed instructions and undocumented impacts.

I

Information Discipline

Assesses whether the project record can actually support entitlement through notices, correspondence, daily records, progress data, photographs, approvals and change logs.

S

Strategy Alignment

Converts scattered project issues into a coherent commercial strategy, aligning contract position, delay responsibility, negotiation posture and escalation options.

M

Margin Protection

Tracks cost leakage, unrecovered variations, prolongation exposure, acceleration risk and claim recovery potential before margin loss becomes irreversible.

PRISM™ Diagnostic Logic

From scattered project issues to executive commercial clarity.

Commercial Risk Matrix

PRISM™ classifies issues by urgency and claim strength.

Strong

Clear entitlement, timely notices, good records and measurable commercial impact.

Salvageable

Potential entitlement exists but notices, evidence or delay linkage need strengthening.

Weak

Commercial concern exists but contractual basis, records or causation are insufficient.

Critical

High exposure, poor control and immediate leadership intervention required.

Where PRISM™ Adds Value

Designed for projects where delay, cost and entitlement are starting to drift.

Delayed notices and weak contractual positioning
Unclear delay responsibility between parties
Cost overruns without recovery strategy
Fragmented evidence and poor record discipline
Leadership decisions based on incomplete commercial visibility
Claims being prepared too late in the project lifecycle

PRISM™ Deliverables

Clear outputs for project leadership and commercial teams.

Before Dispute. Before Escalation. Before Margin Loss.

Use PRISM™ when the project is still recoverable.

The purpose is not to create paperwork. The purpose is to give leadership a clear commercial position before delay, cost and entitlement problems become irreversible.
