What you get free

These four need only what every scheduling tool can export. No float, no baseline, no resources required.

1

Logic

Activities missing a predecessor or successor. Open ends stop the schedule calculating properly — and the project start and finish milestones are correctly excluded, so you don't get two false positives on every run.

2

Leads

Negative lag, which hides logic and corrupts the critical path. There is never a good reason for it, so the threshold is zero.

3

Lags

Links padded with waiting time instead of modelling the work. Usually a missing activity in disguise.

4

Relationship types

The proportion of Finish-to-Start links. Heavy SS/FF use is normally overlapping guesswork rather than considered sequencing.

Questions

There isn't one. Four of the fourteen DCMA checks, no time limit, no watermark, no nag screen. If it saves you an argument about a subcontractor programme, you may come back for the other ten. If it doesn't, keep it anyway.
They need only an activity list and a relationship table — the minimum any scheduling tool can export. The other ten need float, baseline dates, constraints or resources, which not every export carries. These four work with whatever you have.
200 activities in the free edition, 2,000 in the full one. Enough to check a subcontractor submission or a single WBS branch.
Yes. It reads exported columns, not the source tool. Anything that exports activities and relationships to Excel works.
It ships with a 24-activity sample that fails on purpose, so you can see it working. Clear from row 5 down on both sheets and paste over it.

Four checks free. Ten more when you need them.

No signup wall, no expiry.
