The buyer

For the Transformation Director / EPMO Lead

You answer to the board, the CFO and the regulator. PMOpack means every figure has been checked and every exception justified before you present — no surprises, no 11pm reconciliation, no “let me come back to you on that.”

The champion

For the Head of PMO / Programme Manager

Stop re-checking your team’s numbers by hand. PMOpack verifies the figures across every artefact, so your people spend time on delivery, not cross-referencing spreadsheets.

Zero build

The templates are already written — by 17 years of delivery.

Stand up your own PMO tooling and you're maintaining a system by hand on top of your actual job. PMOpack gives you a board-ready SteerCo pack from data you already have. No formula to break. No system to build.

What the engine catches

It checks the pack, not the page.

Every other tool validates one document at a time. PMOpack checks the whole reporting pack in a single pass — the same way, every time.

Every registered check is listed inside the product, on a coverage page rendered live from the rule registry the engine runs — so it can never disagree with the engine.See the live rule coverage (sign-in required)

CROSS-ARTEFACT COHERENCE

If your SteerCo says 1 September and your Milestone Report says 1 October, that’s a CRITICAL flag.

No reviewer catches that across six documents at 11pm. The engine does, every time — before either page reaches the board.

!No approved budget line for this figure
PHANTOM NUMBER

If your risk slide mentions £50K, we check the £50K is real.

PMOpack reads the money figures quoted in your narratives and reconciles each one against the Budget Tracker. A number quoted in prose with no approved budget home gets flagged — the phantom figure buried in a sentence.

VERIFIED SOURCE MARKING

Every figure has a paper trail — and a human who signed it off.

Trace any number back to the file you uploaded and the PM’s verification note — see exactly which document backs it, and who signed off. Not “we used your file” — “your PM signed off on this file, on this date.”

1 red task on the critical path → workstream Red
CRITICAL-PATH PRIMACY

One red critical-path task turns the workstream red. That’s not a setting.

Generic tools roll up status by volume. PMOpack rolls up by delivery reality — a single red task on the critical path drives the whole workstream red, before any percentage threshold. Seventeen years of delivery says that’s how it actually works.

How it works

Three steps. No rebuild.

1
Upload verified sources
Excel, CSV, a Monday.com export, or a Jira export. Flag each as verified with a note.
2
The engine checks it
Deterministic board-defensibility checks, gap detection, a completeness score and a path to green.
3
Board-defensible artefact
Every figure traced to source, integrity-badged, ready to download.
The moat

You confirm every mapping first

Every column mapping is shown to you for review — nothing is written to an artefact until you confirm it. Once you do, your confirmed mappings and the transformations applied are saved with the snapshot.

SOURCED
Every figure keeps its source file and field, and every transformation applied to it — including the row, where the parser captured one.
CONFIRMED
Every column mapping is shown to you for review — nothing is written until you confirm it.
ON RECORD
Once you confirm, the journey — source, transformations applied, confirmed mapping — is saved with the snapshot. Cancel the review and nothing is written.
What gets checked

Four questions the board will ask. Answered before they ask them.

Not a spell-check on your prose. A reconciliation across the whole reporting pack — run the same way every time, on every figure, before anything renders.

Dates

Every date, reconciled across every artefact

Go-live, milestone sets and period ends checked against each other — plus weekends, public holidays and your declared blackout periods.

Money

Every figure traced back to the budget

Workstream totals, forecast at completion and contingency draws reconciled — including figures quoted in prose, where no reviewer looks.

Status

A RAG that matches the detail underneath it

Programme and workstream status reconciled against the register beneath it, with a path to green required on every amber and red.

Decisions

Decisions that actually happened

Approved decisions carried into this period's action log, each with a named owner and a due date. One recorded as not enacted is raised, not buried.

The deliverables

Eight artefacts. Each badged honestly.

Everything marked Live generates now — from validated, source-attributed, PM-attested data, integrity-checked before it leaves the room. Anything marked Coming would stay honestly labelled until the day it generates.

Creation is not governance

A useful deck is not yet a defensible reporting pack.

Use AI creation tools where they help. PMOpack starts where the advisor must stand behind the result for a client, a board and the next reporting cycle.

The honest comparison

Why not just use…?

Some of these are excellent products, and a few solve a problem we do not solve at all. Here is the comparison written so their own teams could read it.

Why not just use Shibumi?

Shibumi is a serious enterprise platform — zero-code strategic portfolio management, in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for the sixth consecutive year, holding initiatives, risks, financials and benefits in one live model. Because a dashboard and a board presentation render the same attribute from that one model, a figure is not re-keyed twice. PMOpack works the other end of the problem: on the separate governance documents a programme actually publishes, reconciling the same figure across them and holding the pack back while a critical inconsistency is unresolved.

Why not just use McKinsey Wave?

Wave is real software, not a consulting deliverable — sold on AWS Marketplace, self-manageable by McKinsey's own account, and used by some clients for over a decade. It names aggregation and reconciliation of metrics as a capability, runs finance-verified stage gates and keeps audit trails. Like Shibumi, it prevents divergence by holding one datastore. PMOpack detects it across documents authored separately, and blocks publication until each critical flag is fixed or accepted with a written justification the database will not let you skip.

Why not just use Atlassian Focus?

Focus has moved fast. Since Funds went generally available in June 2026 it carries budgets, forecasts, actuals, baselines and variance beside the goals and work, and Rovo will draft a structured focus-area update. It is a live command centre, and Atlassian is clear it is not a financial system of record. PMOpack produces the published artefact itself, and checks the numbers across every artefact in the period before it lets the pack out.

Why not just use Copilot, Rovo or monday AI?

All three draft governance prose well, grounded in data you already hold — Copilot even cites back to the source file. All three also tell you, in writing, that the checking is yours: Microsoft says Copilot may produce ungrounded results, Atlassian makes no warranty as to the accuracy of output, monday supplies its AI as is. PMOpack runs no model in its validation layer at all. The AI drafts the narrative; deterministic code checks the figures.

Why not just use Claude Code to make the slides?

Claude Code can create a review deck or document from repository context — a useful creation workspace. PMOpack is the client-reporting system behind the artefact: it keeps the programme snapshot and source trail, checks the reporting pack, and records the publish decision. It gives an independent advisor one governed base across a client portfolio, rather than a fresh prompt for each deck.

The market

Your board is already sceptical. That is the right instinct.

The trust gap around AI-produced information is measured, and it is widest among the people who use AI most. PMOpack is built for the side of that gap that answers to a board.

43%

trust companies to manage AI-related data effectively. Only 41% trust governments.

14%

would be comfortable relying on fully autonomous, agent-led systems.

Most

sceptical are often the heaviest users — educated, white-collar workers who use AI most.

The proof — documented

I asked Microsoft Copilot to build a SteerCo pack. Here’s what it gave me.

On 30 April 2026 I ran the exact request a PM runs every week. Beautifully formatted — and the numbers didn’t reconcile. That gap, between a document that looks right and a record that is right, is the whole reason PMOpack exists.

The author of the rules

Built by someone who’s sat in the meetings.

17 years embedded in programme delivery — 35+ programmes, £75M+ documented savings, four countries. I’ve sat in 200+ SteerCo meetings and watched accurate-looking packs fall apart under one sharp question from the board. PMOpack is the tool I wanted in the room. I wrote the integrity rules from the failure modes I kept seeing.
