Summary
PlannerCore™ Lag Auditor Review is local-first. It reads the XER file in your browser, analyses it locally, and creates the Excel report on your device. No XER content is uploaded to The True Troop Consulting Ltd.
What the browser tool does not do
- It does not upload XER files to a backend service.
- It does not collect or transmit activity names, project codes, relationship comments, or other XER contents.
- It does not collect usage telemetry.
- It does not modify the input XER file.
- It does not intentionally persist a copy of the XER in browser storage.
What the browser tool does do
- Reads the selected XER file through the browser file picker or drag-and-drop control.
- Parses relevant P6 tables locally, including `TASKPRED`, `TASK`, `PROJWBS`, and `PROJECT` where present.
- Generates a branded Excel workbook in the browser using the bundled ExcelJS library.
- Records the input filename, not the full local path, in the generated workbook for traceability.
Dependencies
| Dependency | What it does | Network calls? |
|---|---|---|
| ExcelJS | Builds the Excel `.xlsx` file in the browser. | No runtime network calls; the script is self-hosted with this site. |
| Browser File API | Lets the page read the XER file selected by the user. | None. |
Recommended workflow for sensitive programmes
- Use a trusted copy of the tool.
- Copy the XER to a secure working folder before review.
- Generate the Excel workbook and inspect the Parser Warnings sheet.
- Treat the output workbook with the same handling rules as the XER.
Important note
This tool is a review aid. It identifies lags and leads recorded in the XER, but it does not recalculate the critical path, certify contractual compliance, or replace professional judgement.
