Capital Project Cost Overrun Root Cause Analyzer

Analyzes capital project cost performance data to systematically identify the root causes of cost overruns across five categories — scope growth, estimating error, productivity loss, supply chain/escalation, and design change — with contributing-factor weighting, quantified variance attribution, and a corrective action plan. Use when investigating why a capital project is over budget, attributing forecast-at-completion overruns to specific drivers, or preparing a root cause narrative for steering committees, executives, or the board.
