12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ESTThis hour starts when the PDF bar chart stops. It covers the native XER request that reaches scrubbed exports, audit data and scheduling-option settings. It then covers the update-to-update comparisons that expose re-tied logic, imposed constraints, progress-override flips and float suppression, and the method choice that boards and courts accept when contemporaneous updates exist. Attendees leave able to serve a native-file request that anticipates the “not available” and confidentiality objections, read a manipulation red-flag sheet keyed to specific XER tables, and build or attack the source-validation record that decides a Rule 702(b) “sufficient facts or data” fight.

Mario R. Nicholas 1:10 pm - 2:10 pm ESTThis hour turns forensic schedule findings into recoverable time and money, or into the defense that denies them. It starts with the 2025 board decisions where concurrency netting reduced large delay totals, including Yul Lim, where 661 credited days became 127 compensable, and Alares. It then covers limitations and notice bars, the New York and Texas no-damages-for-delay poles, measured-mile baselines, and extended general conditions and home-office overhead proved window by window. Owner, GC and subcontractor counsel leave able to spot a netting-and-release trap before a client signs, argue separability or concurrency in either direction, map native-file evidence to the defined terms of an NDFD exception, and cross an opposing scheduler, using a concurrency netting matrix, an NDFD-exception proof checklist and a cross outline.
