It is built from the record, not from the internet.
The firm authorizes a set of sources. The model reads those and nothing else.
The project record
Identifies every source that bears on the issue and connects it to what it changes.
See the recordSchedule
Tests the critical path against the events and records said to drive it.
See the schedule analysis20.1
If the Contractor considers himself to be entitled to any extension of the Time for Completion, the Contractor shall give notice to the Engineer describing the event giving rise to the claim.
The notice shall be given as soon as practicable, and not later than 28 days after the Contractor became aware, or should have become aware, of the event.
If the Contractor fails to give notice within this period, the Time for Completion shall not be extended and the Owner shall be discharged from all liability.

Condition precedent satisfied.
Entitlement
Connects contract language, notices, and dates to the facts that satisfy them.
See entitlementDamages
Carries each claimed cost back to the events said to have caused it, and revises it as the record moves.
See damagesThe whole dispute, in one current state.
Every part is held against every other part, so a change in one shows up in the rest.
The contract
Obligations, conditions precedent, and the notice regime that governs entitlement.
The record
Every contemporaneous document, tied to the issue it bears on.
The schedule
Each revision, what changed in its logic, and what that did to the critical path.
The claims
Each entitlement argument and the chain of facts it stands on.
The costs
Money traced to the event said to have caused it, or marked where it is not.
The proceeding
Directions, deadlines, and what has to be ready by when.
Nothing changes silently.
Every change is versioned, attributable, and reversible.

Material question
Should the concurrent-delay defense remain in the reply brief?
Why it matters
Dropping it simplifies the primary critical-path argument, but may forfeit the fallback if the court accepts the owner’s sequencing evidence.
