Check if the project is Matured to start.

The TG Project Maturity Index (TG PMI) scores how ready your capital project really is — 1 to 100, in plain numbers. One score, four ways to use it: owner, investor, lender, contractor.

Project Maturity Index (PMI) — before we start: an owner team and contractor reviewing a project plan before construction begins

Four sides of the table. One check.

Each stakeholder enters their own way and gets a named output — not a generic report.

The TG PMI, in motion

One score. Four directions.

Below is a single project's maturity read. Switch the lens — the score never changes, but what you should do about it does.

How the check works

Documents in, a defensible score out — every answer shown, sourced, and editable.

01

Upload

The owner's project documents — feasibility, drawings, project estimate, technology, permits. Or set a five-line lens and upload any project you're assessing.

02

Read

The engine answers the maturity questions from the documents, each with a plain-English justification and the exact source it was drawn from.

03

Score

A single TG PMI, 1–100, with sub-scores by dimension and the gaps named — weighted so cost and schedule sit at the centre.

04

Act

The same score, turned into direction for your role — improvements, queries, residual risk, or bid guidance. Every step logged and auditable.

Why the score is trustworthy

Projects that are well-defined before FID hit cost and schedule. The data is clear.

Decades of benchmarking say the same thing: how well you define a project before you commit the money is the single biggest driver of whether it lands on budget and on time. The TG PMI is built on that evidence — the front-end-planning research from CII at UT Austin.

Why projects fail

Every cause on this list is one of two things.

In PMI's survey of project failures, respondents named the same causes again and again. Strip away the labels and almost every one is either a project that started without enough maturity — or a project that was handled poorly once it was running. TG PMI exists for the first kind: it makes sure a project starts with adequate maturity, before the money is committed.

Poor starting maturityDefinition, estimate, scope and readiness gaps that exist before commitment. This is what TG PMI catches.
Poor execution / driftProblems that form while the project is being delivered. This is the job of TG PHI.

Work with Harshit

Before the money is committed, have the maturity read.

TG PMI is offered as a direct advisory engagement. Tell Harshit about the project you are weighing, and he will walk you through how a maturity read would work for it.
