Every cost line shows its budget, what is committed, what has been spent, what is pending and where it is forecast to land, in one view.

The approved budget is the starting point, not the final answer.

Commitments, change orders, invoices and actuals move the cost of the project every week. REAL keeps them connected to the award baseline, so the forecast reflects the project as it is now.

  • For finance, accounting, and controllership teams
  • Trained on decades of enterprise facilities expertise
  • Built for the realities of physical operations at scale

Trace every variance to what caused it.

Each variance is attributed to its cause, so the team knows whether the overrun came from quantity, scope, rate or a design revision, and where to act.

Carry every change into the forecast before approval.

A change request is validated against scope and priced for cost and schedule before it is approved, so the decision is made with its forecast impact visible.

Five ways REAL puts the portfolio to work

One agent is powerful.
A suite redefines possibilities.

Each REAL agent is an expert in its domain, built to share context and act on what the others know. The more agents work in your portfolio, the more complete each one’s view of it becomes, and the stronger every decision your team makes.
