See cost drift before it becomes the forecast.
Cost problems rarely arrive all at once — they drift. Controls Star reads the signals in the data you already track, so deterioration shows up while there's still room to protect the forecast.
Where the money is actually going.
Cost variance
Where actual cost is running against the value of work earned.
Forecast position
EAC and VAC — where the project is trending against the approved budget.
Discipline exposure
Which trades are carrying the cost pressure, not just the project total.
Deteriorating areas
Where cost efficiency is slipping fastest and deserves attention first.
Performance insight, not a new accounting system.
Controls Star doesn't replace your ERP or cost ledger. It reads the cost and progress data your team already produces and turns it into a performance signal project controls can act on — the drift, the forecast and where it's concentrated.
The value is time
Catching cost drift earlier means more room to respond — recover scope, rebaseline, or brief leadership before the number is fixed. The earlier the signal, the cheaper the response.
On large capital projects, the forecast is a promise. Cost drift is how it quietly breaks.
Turn planned, earned and spent values into earlier, clearer decisions.
Understand the condition and trajectory of a single project without stitching reports together.
Find the trade behind the variance so teams focus corrective action where it matters.
Protect the forecast while you still can.
Explore the sample project, then load your own cost data to see where performance is drifting.
