The TG Project Health Index (TG PHI) scores how a live capital project is actually performing — 1 to 100, in plain numbers. One score that guides the people who run the project and evaluates it for the people who fund it.
It guides the people who run the project — and evaluates it for the people who fund it.
You receive a monthly report and a green dashboard. PHI scores the same report for drift — telling you whether the number you are being shown will hold, and how far your returns are likely to move before anyone says so.
The reports that reach you are written to reassure. PHI reads them for the early signs of slippage — so you see pressure on completion, contingency and covenant cycles before it shows up in a formal variance.
No site access required. PHI works from the monthly and progress reports a stakeholder already receives — turning a document written to reassure into an independent read on whether the project is actually on course.
Below is a single live project's health read — the guiding view. Switch the seat: the score never changes, but what you should do about it does.
Documents in, a defensible score out — every answer shown, sourced, and editable.
Define the project: baseline cost, baseline schedule, and the assumptions both rest on. Build the organisation: skill matrix, RACI, and a clear Delegation of Authority.
Monthly, weekly, and daily reports flow in — plus minutes from every stakeholder meeting: engineering company, contractors, vendors, and inside-department reviews. One place. Chaos contained.
Two lenses run together. Nadler–Tushman congruence tests whether governance, skill, workflow, and culture are pulling the same way. Project controls — CPI, SPI, and Monte Carlo — model the uncertainty and predict the real finish date.
Drift is named — the kind, the cause, and the layer of the organisation that must act. Corrective actions, advisory, and a forecast you can defend. Every step logged and auditable.
Every capital project drifts. The only question is whether you see it while it is still cheap to fix — or after it has cost you a quarter and a year.
Most reporting tells you what already happened. Your dashboard says cost is on track and schedule is five percent behind. By the time it says twenty-five percent behind, the money is already spent.
Percent progress against a planned curve. It tells you the project is behind. It never tells you why — or what happens next.
Output per day, crew by crew. Sharper, and closer to the work. But it still only measures what was done yesterday.
Not how far behind you are — how fast the project is coming loose, and where. The first measure of what is about to happen, not what already did.
PHI reads two things at once.
This tells you what has happened.
This tells you what is about to.
Most reporting is rear-view.
PHI is windshield.
Are your functions still aligned with each other?
Where are decisions getting stuck?
Is the design basis holding, or quietly moving?
Can your owner team actually carry this load?
Are engineering, procurement and construction telling the same story?
How far will a small problem spread if left alone?
How much hidden friction is the project absorbing?
Most reporting takes six months to surface this. PHI surfaces it in two cycles.
A single number, refreshed every cycle. The score also names which kind of drift is dominant — and which layer of your organisation must act on it — backed by the CPI, SPI, and Monte Carlo forecast.
These are the very same causes PMI found — but now read from the delivery side. A project can start with good maturity and still fail if it is allowed to drift: priorities move, scope changes, communication slips, change goes unmanaged. TG PHI exists for this: it tracks a live project so it is delivered without drift.
Highlighted bars are the causes a live health check keeps in check.
Twenty-five years on industrial capital projects — across the owner, consultant, and contractor seats. Deep, hands-on work in India and the United States, with project exposure across Europe, China, Japan and Southeast Asia, in specialty chemicals and petrochemicals.
TG PHI is the live-project companion to that method. Today it is delivered as a hands-on advisory engagement — Harshit works alongside your team to keep a project's health honestly read while it is being built.
TG PHI is offered as a direct advisory engagement. Tell Harshit about the project in delivery, and he will walk you through how a live health read would work for it.
