From the first promise to the final record

Retival brings together a platform, a methodology, and a certification. Know what your team can deliver, see what changes along the way, and build a record you can stand behind. See the platform

The methodology

Clear numbers. Human decisions.

Plain arithmetic, from the work itself. Retival measures productive time and redraws the finish range with every registration. The optional AI layer traces dependencies. Every reading stays the same with it off.

Worked example · Week 5 · Same readings with AI on or off
Earliest finish12.10 weeks
Likely finish13.20 weeks
Latest finish14.72 weeks
Productive hours left730 hours
Warning raisedWeek 5
Decision ownerSteering committee

The evidence reaches the decision

See why a milestone is at risk, split between estimate and environment. The people with the mandate decide. Retival keeps their decision and its evidence.

Decision context
WarningMilestone outside the range
MandateSteering committee

Direct from the delivery record

The earliest finish is beyond the promised milestone. Both owners receive the warning and the underlying readings. People decide what happens next.

Worked example · The AI layer never produces a number.

Built on the systems you use

Retival reads from the systems where your work already happens. Time, tasks, and finance feed the same account. Nobody enters the same hours twice.

The methodology says what to fix. The platform measures whether it worked.

Project, time, and delivery management

Keep every promise in view

Know before you commit. Hold the scope, agree the criteria, and see whether the promised date is within reach. During delivery, follow the range as the work changes.

The criteria stay with the promise

Agreed scope and acceptance criteria are locked at signature. Every milestone records whether the work was accepted first time, after rework, or rejected.
