<h1>assess — User Manual</h1>
<p class="subtitle">
Perform the DCMA 14-Point Schedule Assessment on a Microsoft Project
export (Excel or CSV) and produce terminal, HTML, CSV, and Excel
exception reports.

<!-- ── Overview ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────── -->
<section id="overview-body">
<h2 class="section-title"><span class="section-icon">📋</span>Overview</h2>
<div class="card">
<p>
The <code>assess</code> command reads a schedule file and computes
up to <strong>14 health metrics</strong> defined by the Defense
Contract Management Agency (DCMA) <em>Program Assessment and
Reporting Manual (PAM)</em>. Each metric produces a
<strong>pass/fail</strong> verdict, a percentage value, and — where
applicable — a per-task <strong>exceptions list</strong> you can
export to Excel for corrective action.
</p>
<p>
The tool supports <strong>Excel (.xlsx)</strong> and
<strong>CSV</strong> schedule exports. Column headers are matched
case-insensitively with fuzzy alias resolution so most Microsoft
Project default layouts work without pre-processing.
</p>
</div>
<div class="callout callout-info">
<strong>Scope of assessment:</strong> Summary tasks and milestones are
excluded from most metric denominators. The tool operates only on
<em>work (leaf) tasks</em> unless the metric explicitly involves
milestones (e.g. CPLI).
</div>
<div class="callout callout-tip">
<strong>Task ID resolution:</strong> MS Project exports often
contain both a <code>Task ID</code> / <code>ID</code> column (the
sequential row number users see in the left-hand column) and a
<code>Unique ID</code> column (a permanent internal identifier).
When both are present the tool always uses <code>Task ID</code>, so
every value in the exceptions report maps directly to the row number
visible in the source schedule. <code>Unique ID</code> is used only
as a fallback when no primary <code>Task ID</code> column exists.

sheet listing offending Task IDs, names, and corrective
guidance. Triggered by <code>--exceptions-report</code>.
Task IDs shown always match the <strong>Task ID / ID</strong>
column from the source schedule (the sequential row number
visible in MS Project's left-hand column), so flagged
tasks can be located directly without any ID translation.
