What the drawing shows

The space between the two lines is the delay, read as a percentage rather than an impression. Its direction matters more than its size: a steady gap means a sound pace that started late; a widening gap means a problem with productivity itself.

The actual figure is not typed in. It is calculated from the completed quantities linked to the programme’s activities, so any number in the report can be defended in the meeting.

Projects and sub-projects: each subcontractor package with its own scope, its figures rolling up to the main project.
The site divided into locations and areas, so every piece of work is tied to its place.
Weekly working hours and holidays count in the calculation.
