## What is forensic delay analysis?
Forensic delay analysis is a retrospective examination of project schedules and progress records to determine the cause, extent, and responsibility for delays. CSPM uses methods including Windows Analysis, Time Impact Analysis, Impacted As-Planned, As-Planned vs As-Built, and Collapsed As-Built to support claims and dispute resolution.
## What delay analysis methods does CSPM use?
CSPM applies industry-recognised methods: Windows Analysis (retrospective, based on actual progress updates), Time Impact Analysis (prospective), Impacted As-Planned, As-Planned vs As-Built, and Collapsed As-Built. Method selection depends on available records, contract requirements, and dispute context.
