Project Intelligence for Excel — Free Community Edition and commercial implementation support

Structured project controls for Excel-based project teams.

Project Intelligence for Excel helps teams turn Excel-based registers into a more structured forecasting, reporting, progress, cost-code, and look-ahead workflow without forcing the team to abandon Excel.

Use the Free Community Edition to explore the sample workflow, then contact Pi Labs when your organisation wants to assess real project data readiness, run a managed forecasting pilot, or specify PI-compatible project information requirements.

Free Community Edition

Evaluation and self-guided learning

The Free Community Edition is intended for learning, education, demonstrations, evaluation, self-guided non-commercial use, self-guided workbook setup, template experimentation, student or trainee use, and sample workbooks or pilots where PI is not used as a commercial production deployment.

Commercial use

Production use needs a written path

Commercial production use, live project use by a company, company rollout, production deployment, implementation support, and priority support will require a paid commercial-use licence, approved pilot, or separate written agreement with Pi Labs.

Start with a data readiness diagnostic when the question is whether real project information is ready for a PI-compatible workflow.

Commercial path

Pi Labs’ early commercial support is services-led. Assess the project information first, test PI against a controlled real workflow second, and only then move into retained support, tender/specification support or project-specific type-library work.

PI Data Readiness Diagnostic

A focused assessment of current registers, progress data, cost-code structure, resource expenditure records and Excel-based reporting workflow.

Request diagnostic

PI Managed Forecasting Pilot

A controlled pilot that tests PI against an agreed project workflow under an approved pilot or written commercial arrangement.

Discuss pilot

PI Forecast Support Retainer

Ongoing support for teams that have moved beyond evaluation and need a structured forecast, report and look-ahead rhythm.

Ask about retained support

Tender Specification Support

Support for PI-compatible tender, register, progress, resource expenditure, reporting and governance requirements.

Review PI Specifications

Type Library Engagement

Support to structure project type libraries, cost-code mappings, progress gates and register requirements before production use.

Discuss type library

Controlled resources

Specifications, NDA and service terms are request-only for now

Pi Labs can provide the current PI Specifications information pack for review on request. The pack is intended to support structured Excel-based project-controls workflows and must be adapted for the relevant project, procurement model, contract terms, data availability and owner/legal/commercial review requirements before use.

A mutual NDA, service terms, retainer terms, order form or statement of work can be issued through a qualified engagement process where required. These documents are not published as unrestricted downloads in this website update.

Future public resources

Clear path to information-only downloads

The intended future path is to publish a separate public information pack once release wording, versioning, disclaimers and legal/commercial review are settled. That future pack should be labelled for information only and kept separate from project-specific tender or contract wording.

Built around the actual PI workflow

The public site mirrors the same workflow reviewers and users see in the add-in: forecast refresh, project reporting, look-ahead planning, setup and repair, progress-gate updates, error checking, tutorial guidance, workbook protection and cost-code forecasting.

Project Run

Operational execution tools for producing current project outputs directly inside the workbook.

  • Refresh Forecast
  • Project Report
  • Look-Ahead Programme
  • Log CostCode Forecast

Setup and Maintenance

Tools for setting up, repairing, validating and maintaining workbook structure before or during controlled use.

  • Project Setup / Repair
  • ProgressGate Definition Update
  • Error Check
  • Update DetailedReg

Tutorial and Protection

Guided first-run workflow and protection tools for the workbook environment.

  • Quick Start Tutorial
  • Tutorial comments
  • Worksheet protection
  • Workbook protection
Proof workflow

Start with the sample project

New users and reviewers can run the Quick Start Tutorial without preparing a separate project workbook. The sample project demonstrates the basic PI flow: load sample data, refresh the forecast, produce a project report, log a cost-code forecast and report again.

The sample project is a proof of workflow, not a guarantee of suitability or forecast accuracy for a live commercial project.
