About Project File Desk & methodology

How Project File Desk works, which inputs it supports, what its results mean and where its limits apply.

Project File Desk

Make an existing project plan readable for a reviewer who needs its records and dates. Keep unsupported data visible in the omission report instead of silently treating a file preview as a recalculated schedule.

How we build a check

This workbench processes supported inputs locally. We test calculations, file structure and generated artifacts using independent readers or known fixtures where available. The example runs the same processing path as a supplied input; it does not stand in for checking your own result.
