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 from the XER review process.
- 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.
- Submits your first name, email address, consent confirmation, source label, and timestamp to Netlify Forms when you register to view the audit results. The same contact details may also be sent to HighLevel CRM if follow-up sync is configured.
Data stored in your browser
To remember that you have registered, the page stores a small profile in your browser's localStorage: your first name, email address, a randomly generated device identifier, and the registration timestamp. This data stays on your device, is not a tracking cookie, and is never linked to XER content. Clearing your browser's site data for this site removes it completely.
Your data rights and retention
- Lawful basis. Registration details are processed on the basis of the consent you give when ticking the registration checkbox. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Retention. Registration records are retained in Netlify Forms and HighLevel CRM until you ask for them to be removed, or until they are no longer needed for product access and follow-up.
- Access, correction, and erasure. To request a copy of your registration data, correct it, or have it deleted, email support@thetruetroop.com. Requests are actioned within one calendar month.
- Unsubscribe. Every follow-up email includes an unsubscribe option, or you can email the address above.
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. |
| Netlify Forms | Stores the registration/contact record needed to unlock the browser review. | Only when the registration form is submitted; no XER content or filename is sent. |
| HighLevel CRM | Stores or updates the registration/contact record for product follow-up. | Only when the registration form is submitted; no XER content or filename is sent. |
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.
