Big State AI — Self-Service Drafting

Professional project controls deliverables, drafted in minutes.

Describe the work in your own words. Big State AI drafts the schedule and the documents around it — built on real project-controls judgment, delivered as a professional first draft for scheduler review.

CPM Schedule Drafts

Plain-language scope in, logic-driven schedule out — Primavera P6 (.xer) and Microsoft Project (.xml) files that import cleanly into your tools.

Basis of Schedule

An auto-generated Basis of Schedule document explaining calendars, logic, durations, and assumptions — the paperwork most schedules never get.

Schedule Quality Review

Health checks aligned to DCMA 14-point and AACE International principles — open ends, constraints, float, lags, and logic gaps surfaced automatically.

Executive Summary

The detailed CPM schedule rolled up into a one-page overview leadership can read at a glance — the same plan, at the right altitude for each audience.

Narratives & Look-Aheads

Schedule narratives, look-ahead views, and manpower/cost templates generated alongside the schedule — ready to drop into your reporting cycle.

First Draft, By Design

Every output is a professional first draft intended for review by a qualified scheduler — never presented as a certified submission.

How it works

Describe the scope. Review the draft. Import and go.

Write your scope in plain language — Big State AI builds a logic-driven CPM network, runs a quality review against scheduling standards, and delivers the schedule files plus supporting documents to your inbox. Launching with pay-as-you-go for one-off schedules and monthly subscriptions for teams drafting regularly — plans and pricing at BigState.AI.

Sample output

This is what comes back.

Real Big State AI output from sample scopes — drafted, quality-checked, and watermarked as a first draft for scheduler review.

Samples generated by Big State AI from fictional scopes. Alongside these, every package includes the native Primavera P6 (.xer) and Microsoft Project (.xml) schedule files and a schedule quality review.

Consulting availability

Hands-on consulting is paused — but we won't leave you without help.

Our founder is currently engaged full-time on a major infrastructure project in Alaska, so Big State Solutions is not accepting new consulting engagements at this time. If your project needs a dedicated scheduler or project controls professional, we're glad to recommend experienced colleagues from our network — practitioners with the same energy and infrastructure background. Send a short note about the project and we'll point you to the right person.

FAQ

Questions schedulers and PMs ask first.

What exactly do I get back?

A complete drafting package by email: the native Primavera P6 (.xer) and Microsoft Project (.xml) schedule files, an auto-generated Basis of Schedule (.docx), a schedule quality review, and supporting outputs like a narrative, look-ahead, and executive summary.

Is the schedule certified or submission-ready?

No — and that's by design. Every output is a professional first draft that requires review by a qualified scheduler before any certification-level submission. It's clearly watermarked as such.

Will the files import cleanly into our P6?

Yes. Big State AI writes native XER built to import directly into Primavera P6 — calendars, WBS, activity logic, and milestones intact — plus MSPDI XML for Microsoft Project.

How does pricing work?

Two ways: pay-as-you-go credits for one-off schedules, or a monthly subscription for teams drafting regularly. Current plans and pricing live at BigState.AI.

What happens to my project data?

Client and project identity is stripped at the point of ingestion, and raw schedules are never kept or reused as library content. Full details in the privacy policy.

Can Big State Solutions just build or review it for us?

Hands-on consulting is paused while our founder is engaged full-time on a major infrastructure project in Alaska. If you need a dedicated professional, request a referral and we'll connect you with an experienced colleague.

About

Meet the founder.

Louden Greiner, PMP, PSP — Founder, Big State Solutions, LLC
Louden Greiner, PMP, PSPFounder, Big State Solutions, LLC

Big State Solutions, LLC was founded by Louden Greiner, PMP, PSP on a skill he'd been practicing his entire career: taking large, complex project information and turning it into clear, organized plans and reports that people can actually use. It's the same problem artificial intelligence is now built to solve — work Louden was doing by judgment and discipline years before the tools existed.

That instinct was earned, not handed down. He learned his work ethic from his father on an Alaskan fishing boat as a boy, then worked his way up from the laborer ranks into the project controls office. He spent his twenties in what amounted to a project-controls boot camp — remote job sites, twelve-hour days, 300-plus days a year — alongside a top-tier team that lived and breathed schedule. From there he moved into owner-side roles with many of the top oil & gas operators, then took his experience on the road, supporting projects in every corner of the country.

Through all of it, one passion held: simplifying project controls and delivering real value to the people who get the work done — from the project manager to the field hand. He started Big State Solutions to give that hard-won knowledge back, the way his own mentors once did for him.

“I'm grateful for the opportunities, but the challenges are what shaped me.”

Today that field-tested judgment — Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project, to AACE International (PSP) and PMI (PMP) standards — is encoded into Big State AI and available on demand, while hands-on consulting needs are met through a trusted referral network.
