New Optimization Mode
BUILT FOR CONSTRUCTION TEAMS
Automated Schedule Crashing
Every construction project team faces the same pressures: what can enable more speed, less disruption to the plan, and the need for data-backed answers. Targeted Optimization is purpose-built around those three demands.
Is acceleration even possible?
Know whether schedule acceleration is achievable before committing resources, overtime, or budget.
Where exactly do you push?
A result you can act on
Replace days of painstakingly manual critical path analysis with an automated run that takes minutes.
ALICE’s Targeted Optimization mode works with any construction schedule — regardless of where you are in your planning process. If you have a target date in mind and need to identify the best path to achieve it, Targeted Optimization is for you.
- Define your acceleration goal
- Run optimization scenario
- Review results
ALICE lets you focus on identifying acceleration opportunities across the entire or for a single critical date.
- Full project acceleration: Simulate the entire schedule toward an earlier project completion date.
- Specific milestone targeting: Select any milestone with a target date and ALICE filters to only the activities that can move that date.
- Compare multiple scenarios: Run numerous simulations in parallel to understand the tradeoffs and make data-backed decisions.
Every run returns a specific, actionable scenario with the exact activities to change, by how much, and why.
- Deterministic output, not a range: Unlike Monte Carlo simulation, Targeted Optimization produces a specific, adoptable scenario. You get an actionable plan, not a distribution of possibilities.
- Near-critical path visibility: See which paths are quietly driving your finish date before they surface as the critical path mid-execution.
- A "no" is as useful as a "yes" If the goal isn't achievable, ALICE tells you clearly, giving you the evidence to push back on unrealistic targets.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Monte Carlo simulation produces a range of probabilistic outcomes based on duration uncertainty. Targeted Optimization by ALICE produces a single, deterministic scenario — a specific plan with exact activity changes — that can be adopted and taken into the field or a stakeholder meeting.
-
ALICE will tell you clearly what can and cannot be achieved given your schedule's current logic and constraints. A definitive "no" — with the data to back it up — is often just as useful in an owner conversation or a recovery discussion as a successful result.
-
Yes. You can target a specific milestone and ALICE automatically filters the activity list to only those tasks directly or indirectly linked to that milestone — removing noise and focusing the optimization where it counts.
-
Yes. Configurations can be saved as reusable presets — including activity groupings, acceleration limits, and target type — so recurring scenario types like milestone recovery runs don't require rebuilding from scratch each time.
-
For most schedules, a result is returned in minutes. ALICE simulates millions of iterations automatically and surfaces the most efficient outcome without manual trial and error.
