Primer · by BaseOne

Trusted P6 reporting in 10 days.

Your planners spend a quarter of their time producing reports. Primer eliminates that gap — a deployable analytics framework that installs in your Fabric tenant, ingests P6 automatically, and delivers executive-ready Power BI dashboards with numbers that match P6.

What Primer does

Stop compiling. Start steering.

Primer turns complex project-controls data into decisions — so your PMO spends its time on delivery, not on rebuilding the same reports every week.

Schedule Integrity

DCMA-style 14-point checks on every update — logic completeness, float health, critical-path integrity — scored automatically as a Primer Score.

Project Portfolio

Every live project in one place — schedule, cost and risk across the whole portfolio, drillable to a single activity.

Resource & Performance

Resource demand, EVM (CPI · SPI · BEI) and milestone tracking — so PMOs see the squeeze before it hits delivery.

Deployed to your Fabric tenant

A pre-built medallion lakehouse (bronze → silver → gold) on Microsoft Fabric — secure, scalable and fully owned by you.

How it works

A proven framework, deployed into your tenant.

Not a bespoke build from scratch — a production-ready analytics framework with P6-correct numbers from day one.

Plug & play with Primavera P6

Connects to P6 EPPM via API or standalone via SQLite. Automated ingestion — no manual XER exports.

Pre-built medallion architecture

Bronze → Silver → Gold layers. Lakehouse, warehouse and Power BI semantic models — ready to customise.

End-to-end automation

Ingest, transform, model and report without human intervention. Scheduled refreshes. Always current.

Deployed to your Fabric tenant

Secure, scalable and fully under your governance. No third-party access to your data. You own it.

Branded, executive-ready UI

Premium Power BI reports designed for adoption. Your colours, your logo. Reports people want to use.

Extensible beyond planning

Built on DMBOK principles. Start with P6 analytics, then expand into cost, risk, procurement and cross-system reporting.
