Project scheduling done right — with semantic clarity, explicit constraints, and zero hidden tricks.
Consequent is a project scheduling tool designed for clarity. Traditional project management software accumulated features over decades, creating layers of hidden complexity and ambiguity. Consequent strips away the cruft and replaces it with explicit, auditable principles.
Every constraint is visible. Every calculation is explainable. The tool serves you — not the other way around.
Transparency Over Magic
When a date shifts, you should understand why. No hidden constraint types, no mysterious recalculations. Consequent shows its work.
Constraints as First-Class Citizens
SNET (Start No Earlier Than) and FNLT (Finish No Later Than) dates are visible, named, and participate in the schedule logic. They flag violations — they don't silently block.
Explicit Over Implicit
Lag creates invisible time that's hard to track. Consequent encourages explicit waiting activities — "Curing time", "Approval wait" — that everyone can see and discuss.
ASAP by Default
Every task starts as soon as its dependencies allow. Constraints are exceptions, not rules — and they're always explicit.
Consequent is built for project managers who think like engineers — people who value correctness over tradition, clarity over complexity, and explicit reasoning over tribal knowledge.
