Inside the vault

The numbers are yours now.

Eight projects, one source of truth, nothing leaving this room. Let's make the figures say something.

Read on ↓

Every steering committee ends on one question: “what is the real status?”

P6 says one date. Jira says another. The spreadsheet is a week behind both.

“Probably fine” holds the room a quarter. Maybe two.

Authority is the distance between “probably” and “here are the numbers.”

Steer reads both worlds, separates real slippage from a methodology mismatch, and shows the figures behind every call. The hardest question in the room stops being the one you fear.

First of its kind

Hybrid portfolios, reconciled — not just merged. The first to tell slippage from a methodology mismatch, fully offline.

The catalog

Two lines. One refusal to fake anything.

Instruments that run a whole portfolio or a single project — live, offline, and sourced. A Library of the documents a serious PM reaches for on day one. Nothing here phones home.

The Instruments · Portfolio

Govern a whole estate at once: many projects, mixed methods, one source of truth.

The Instruments · Single project

One project, run with the same rigor as a hundred: the portfolio engines, focused to a single team. Each ships a live offline demo with its hero views open — including the Root-Cause Lab.

Own an instrument

The instruments are premium, licensed per organisation and priced by enquiry. Fly the live demos, then talk to us about access for your team.

Live demos · on this page

No screenshots. No videos. Fly the real products.

These are the actual PM Vault instruments, loaded with sample data and running in your browser tab. Pick one below — the Steer flagship, or a single-project edition. Each opens its hero views; every other view stays visible but locked. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is staged footage.

Project Atlas

CPI 0.916, TCPI 1.143. Steer calls the divergence and shows you the arithmetic behind the verdict.

Project Helix

P6 reports 40% complete. Jira reports 100%. Steer flags a methodology mismatch, not a slip.

Portfolio blend

63.3% complete, built from 8 weighted contributions you can open, trace, and audit.

Demo theater · sample data · runs locally

PM Vault Steer. The PMO command deck.

Boots the real product into this page with three hero views open: the Helm, the Reconciliation Center, and schedule-and-cost risk simulation, on a mixed P6-and-Jira estate.

LIVE, runs in this page. Nothing is uploaded, nothing leaves your machine
57,819

Automated checks, zero failures

The release gate that this exact build passed before it was allowed near you.

0

Bytes of your data uploaded

Your portfolio never leaves your machine. Steer contacts exactly one address, for seat licensing, and it carries none of your project data.

23

Command views

Decide, diagnose, reconcile, forecast and govern, in three boardroom themes.

10,000

Seeded Monte Carlo trials

Per forecast, reproducible by seed. Same inputs, same answer, every time.

Audited, not asserted

Most tools ask for faith.
Ours hand you the test log.

Before a build is allowed near you it passes its own release gate: tens of thousands of automated assertions, its engine checked number-for-number against an independent reference, and a network audit that proves your data stays put. These are the real figures from the gate each instrument passed — every one traceable to a report on disk.

This page is running a real forecast. Right now.

Most tools hand you a date and ask for faith. Our instruments simulate, show the distribution, mark the confidence, and publish the method, the history, and the seed. Here is that principle, live, in miniature.

Your portfolio belongs in a vault.
Not in someone else's cloud.

No server. No account. No telemetry. Every instrument ships with a Content-Security-Policy that blocks every external host, so even a future bug could not leak your data.

Disconnect the network. Everything still works.

The line continues. The list flies it first.

Watch and Count are in build now, to the same law Steer and Gate passed: offline, glass-box, zero egress, released only when the gate is green. Founding members get first access and founding pricing on each.

Watch In build

Adaptive delivery governance

Agile work is governed by vigilance, not stage reviews. Watch stands guard over flow: WIP limits that bite, aging work surfaced before it festers, and a forecast gate that visibly refuses to guess from thin data.

concept: the aging-work early-warning strip

Count In build

Cost governance · finance & pricing

BOQ to baseline, EAC workbench, risk-priced bidding, and a month-end close that locks for good.

concept: the period-close lock
Before you ask

Questions a careful buyer asks.

Is it really offline?
Yes. The instruments are single files that run in your browser under a Content-Security-Policy that blocks every external host. Disconnect the network and they still work. Steer contacts exactly one address — for seat licensing — and it carries none of your project data.
What does “PMBOK® 8-aligned” mean — are you affiliated with PMI?
No. PM Vault is an independent publisher, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by PMI, PeopleCert/AXELOS, ISO, or Scrum.org. We align our methods to recognised standards and cite them by name and edition. We reproduce none of them. See the sources →
How do I get an instrument, and what does it cost?
The instruments are licensed per organisation and priced for your team. Fly the live demo, then talk to us about access — we'll send pricing and a secure way to buy. The Library products (Field Manual, Toolkit, Bundle) are priced openly and download instantly.
What's the difference between the Library and the instruments?
The Library is the method — guides and a spreadsheet control system you own outright. The instruments are software that runs the method for you: live earned value, schedule-risk simulation, and hybrid reconciliation. Start with the Library; move up when the spreadsheet isn't enough.
Single-user or team licence?
Library products are single-user — use anything you produce freely; please don't resell the files. Team licences and instrument access are per organisation; tell us your team size when you enquire.
What formats do I get?
Documents ship as PDF and Word. The Toolkit is XLSX and comes in three boardroom themes — Vault Noir, Executive Light, Slate Corporate. Every download includes a Sources & Citations file, licence, and read-me.
Refunds?
14-day money-back on Library purchases, no questions asked.
Can I see proof it works, not a marketing claim?
Yes — that's the point. Each instrument passes a release gate before it reaches you: tens of thousands of automated checks, its engine validated number-for-number against an independent reference, and a network audit proving zero data egress. The figures on this page come from those reports. See the standards each instrument cites →
