Project & performance intelligence

Scope, cost, time and people, always in balance.

Mizan is a governed AI agent for design and engineering consultancies. It reads your own delivery, cost and capacity data, measures every figure to a written definition, investigates what is wrong on its own, then proves it before you ever see it.

Every one is proved before it reaches you. A finding that the Verifier cannot stand up is never shown — it is not softened, it is withheld.

The problem

Two systems, each holding half the truth.

Delivery systems record hours. Finance systems record cost. Between them sit the things neither one owns — and a wrong figure looks exactly like a right one.

How Mizan works

Nothing reaches you until it has survived four moves.

Mizan proposes; you decide. It assembles a claim, drafts a message or prepares an action, but never sends, approves or moves money by itself.

Measure

Every figure computed to a written, versioned definition — never invented at answer time.

Find

A governed agent hunts for what is wrong: fourteen kinds, from unbilled fee to overload.

Verify

An adversarial Verifier proves each finding — provenance, recompute, policy, fairness.

You decide

A named person reviews, sends and approves. Every number traces to its source.

Intelligence

See what your systems already know but never told you.

Four capabilities that find the money and the risk before the accounts do.

Spot projects in trouble before it shows in the numbers

  • Rank every live project worst-health-first: progress, fee consumed, health gap and projected margin.
  • Predictive early warning trained on your own history flags a project heading for trouble before it reaches the accounts.
  • See unclaimed rework and a confidence score on every project.

The problem it solvesBy the time a loss shows up in the accounts it is too late to fix. Mizan surfaces it early and warns you before it costs you, not after.

Recover fee you have earned but never billed

  • See claim packets across the whole book, with the total unclaimed.
  • Filter to the claims that are submittable today.
  • Hand a prepared claim to a named person to review and send.

The problem it solvesRework from a client change that never became a variation is money you already earned. Mizan finds it and assembles the claim; you send it.

Balance your team, fairly

  • Read a weekly load board with five states, and exposure beside committed load.
  • Spot sustained overload and single-point-of-failure skills on dedicated panels.

The problem it solvesTwo people absorb every emergency and burn out while others sit under-used. Mizan shows both, as a resourcing pattern, never a performance score.

Ask anything, and get a dashboard back

  • Ask in plain language, English or Arabic — "which projects are behind on spend, and why?"
  • Get a smart dashboard: a written summary with live tables, stats and charts, built around your question.
  • Trace every figure to its source rows, with a provenance verdict on the whole answer.

The problem it solvesA trustworthy figure usually means chasing spreadsheets and a query language nobody learns. A number with nothing behind it is flagged, not shown.

Manage & control

Run the work, and decide who sees what.

Mizan is the record itself, not a dashboard bolted onto one — and every row is filtered in the query, never greyed out in the browser.

Run the work as a system of record

  • Create and edit projects, phases, deliverables, milestones, tasks and budgets.
  • Track the critical path and honest P50/P80 milestone dates on the right office calendar.
  • Compare planned effort against booked hours, per project and per person.

The problem it solvesRead-only dashboards drift from reality. Mizan is the record itself, so the numbers are the work, not a stale copy.

Control cost and get paid on time

  • See cost by category and month, budget versus actual per phase, and unallocated cost on its own line.
  • Age receivables into buckets per project and currency; catch duplicate vendors and changed bank details.

The problem it solvesYour budget and the ERP's cost live in different systems, and overdue invoices slip. Mizan reconciles them without hiding the seam.

Know your people and their skills

  • Browse a directory: grade, discipline, office, reporting line, hours, skills, leave, current load and open tasks.
  • See who is heaviest-loaded, from booked hours against a working calendar, never from a headcount.

The problem it solvesWhen a live project needs a skill only one person holds, that is a single point of failure nobody flagged. Mizan surfaces it from what the open tasks need.

Decide exactly who sees what

  • Grant and revoke by field class — operational, commercial, performance, governance, personal, payroll. Revoking removes the data, not just the view.
  • An adversarial Verifier checks provenance, recompute, policy and fairness before anything reaches you.

The problem it solvesCommercial terms and salaries leak when permissions are cosmetic. Mizan filters every row in the query and proves each finding before you see it.

Performance — the smart matrix

Who is delivering, measured from the work itself.

A project’s on-time, on-budget result flows down to its tasks. Each task carries its share as a weight and credits the people who worked it by their hours. Evidence, not a popularity contest.

High achiever

Consistently high weighted contribution on work that landed on time and on budget. Surfaced so you can recognise and reward on evidence, not impression.

Needs attention

Weighted contribution running low, or concentrated on slipping tasks. Surfaced early so you can coach, rebalance or unblock before it costs a project.

Beyond the screens

Your agent does more than report. It predicts, and it drafts.

Connect SharePoint, an ERP, Odoo, a DMS or a database as governed sources — then use Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP tool on that data under a per-user token.

Predictive early warning

We train the models on your own historical projects, so Mizan compares each live job against similar past ones and alerts you before a slip happens. Pre-warnings on cost, schedule and margin, while there is still time to act.

Proposal drafting, auto-enriched

Mizan drafts proposals and enriches them from the bids that won — your proven scope language, pricing and structure — so every new bid starts from what already works instead of a blank page.

Custom functions, built to you

Because your agent is custom, we build the functions your firm actually needs, from claim assembly to report and document generation, wired into your workflow and your governance.

How we deliver

A custom agent is an engagement, not a download.

Four stages, worked in agile sprints, so you see value early and steer the build as it grows. Because the agent is configured to your methodology, it reflects your practice from the first sprint.

Stage one

Assess & data readiness

Assessment and gap analysis, plus a data-readiness review: what you have, where it lives, its quality, and what is missing before an agent can trust it.

Stage two

Design workflows & dashboards

We design the workflows, the dashboards and the reports around how your firm actually works, not a generic template.

Stage three

Define the agent's work

We pin down what the agent should do: your pain points, what is costing you time, and exactly which tasks are worth automating.

Stage four

Deliver, agile

We implement in short agile sprints, shipping working capability early and refining it with your team, sprint by sprint, to go-live.

Who it is for

What you see depends on your role.

Permissions are granted by field class and they accumulate. Revoking one removes the data, not just the view.
