Protect the Capital. Protect the Programme.

We Find the Truth. We Protect the Capital.

See It Early.

We are in governance. Not reporting.

Royal Sakti™ Strategic Advisory (SSM 202503350168), founded by Dewi Sakti, CEO, protects capital on infrastructure programmes with forensic P6 analysis, EOT and LAD evidence and executive dashboards.

One missed notice can cost a programme millions. The contract clock does not wait for the board pack.

The Global Problem: Megaprojects Are Bleeding CapitalOverruns are the default. Not the exception.

Cost and schedule overruns aren't isolated failures — they're the default outcome of megaproject delivery worldwide.

11%
of the world's 5,000+ megaprojects are at risk of delay or cancellation (Mace, 2025)
$1.5T
in missed global growth by 2030 from megaproject inefficiency (Mace, 2025)
43%
of infrastructure projects analyzed globally experienced delays, some exceeding 600% of original schedule (CoST/World Bank, 2025)
1/3
of contract budgets lost to disputed costs on major projects worldwide (HKA CRUX Insight, 2025)

For directors and boards overseeing capital-intensive programmes, the question isn't whether this risk exists in your portfolio — it's whether anyone will see it in time to act.

Business intelligence dashboards on screenROYAL SAKTI / 02

What Governance Actually Looks LikeWorking tools. Not slide decks.

Two kinds of dashboard, built from your programme's own data.

01 · Decision Ready

For the board

One page: where the programme stands, what is exposed, and the decisions needed now.

Note on these views: figures shown are illustrative, built to demonstrate the format and metrics your Intelligence Throne dashboard tracks — not a specific client's live data. Your actual dashboard is configured around your programme's real schedule, entitlement, and governance position.

Financial market analysis on computerROYAL SAKTI / 03

What's Currently Available on the MarketEveryone owns a slice. No one owns the cycle.

Boards facing this exposure typically turn to one of four responses — each solving part of the problem, none solving all of it.

PMO & Scheduling Software

P6, MS Project dashboards. Tracks activities and float, but reports monthly. By the time a red flag appears, the cheapest week to act has already passed.

Forensic Delay / Claims Consultants

Brought in after the dispute has crystallized. Excellent at proving what happened — powerless to prevent it happening again.

Law Firms & Dispute Resolution Counsel

Protect entitlement in arbitration, but engage only once litigation is likely — after commercial exposure has already compounded.

Generic Portfolio Governance Frameworks

Define roles and RACI charts on paper. Rarely translate into real-time decision rights that hold under pressure.

Each player owns a slice of the problem. None owns the full cycle — from early signal, to commercial protection, to executive decision.

The Crisis Cycle — How It UnfoldsNot bad luck. A pattern.

Megaproject overruns aren't bad luck — they're one of the most consistently repeated patterns in infrastructure delivery. What changes from project to project isn't whether the risk exists. It's whether anyone translated it into a decision in time.

Week 1
Green Signal
Dashboard shows 98% on track. P6 green. Board satisfied. Last moment everyone shares the same (incomplete) picture.
Week 6
The Gap Opens
Forensic P6 shows delays emerging. Signal should trigger action. Doesn't — reporting stays green. Cheapest week to act is already passing.
Week 12
Escalation Fails
Float compresses below 20 days. Commercial windows approach. Escalation exists on paper. No one owns the decision to interrupt.
Week 20
Crisis Announced
Recovery cost doubled. Claim windows closed. Every week of delay between Week 6 and Week 20 compounds cost exponentially.

LAD doesn't wait for the board pack — it accrues daily from the moment the contract clock starts. Claim windows close on contractual timers, not on when the finding reaches someone with authority to act. Miss it, and the entitlement isn't reduced. It's gone. This is the specific pattern The Sakti Solution was built to close — from a practitioner with directorship-level governance experience across Malaysia, Singapore, and Qatar, not a textbook.

Corporate decision making environmentROYAL SAKTI / 05

The Commercial Exposure Hidden in Plain Sight

LAD accumulation is real. EOT entitlement is suppressed — sometimes ignored entirely. Exposure positions remain unknown until the claim is filed. Or not filed at all.

LAD Accrues Daily
Liquidated damages don't pause for board meetings. The clock runs from the moment the contract starts — regardless of whether anyone is tracking it.
EOT Suppressed
Extension of time entitlement is often undervalued, delayed, or never quantified — leaving legitimate recovery unclaimed and defenseless.
Window Closed
Contractual notice periods expire on timers — not on when the finding reaches someone with the authority to act. Miss it, and the entitlement is gone.

Why Portfolio Governance Fails

Four systemic failures — not isolated incidents — that compound silently until the crisis is announced. Each one is avoidable with the right architecture in place.

1. Misaligned Decision Rights

No clear ownership of schedule recovery, commercial strategy, or baseline changes. Decisions defer to crisis point when options have narrowed and costs escalated.

2. Delayed Signals

P6 risk signals reach leadership 4–6 weeks late. Monthly reporting cycles can't catch problems that mature in three weeks. The reporting cadence itself becomes the risk.

3. Commercial Exposure Hidden

LAD accumulation, EOT exposure, and entitlement position unknown until the claim is filed — or not filed at all. By then, the window has closed.

4. Intelligence Without Authority

The PMO knows the truth. Leadership doesn't. Data sits in reports nobody reads. When asked "Why didn't we know?", the answer is already on page 47 of last month's deck.

The Sakti Solution: Five Roadmaps, One Integrated SystemFive roadmaps. One system.

Not more reporting — different reporting. Five proprietary roadmaps that transform governance from reactive to predictive. Built on forensic schedule analysis standards (AACE 29R-03, SCL Protocol 2017) and portfolio governance frameworks (PMI Portfolio Management Standard).

I
Diagnostic Crown
3–4 weeks
Forensic ground truth. P6 analysis, schedule status, commercial exposure, risk assessment.
II
Governance Architecture
2–3 weeks
Clear decision rights. Who decides what. Escalation paths. Accountability structures.
III
Protection Shield
2–3 weeks
Commercial strategy. EOT quantified. LAD exposure protected. Claim position defended.
IV
Intelligence Throne
4–8 wks setup
Real-time dashboard. Predictive signals. Decision calendar. Executive intelligence layer.
V
Recovery Path
3–4 weeks
Executable acceleration plan. Costed. Phased. Risk-managed. Only if recovery needed.

Why this holds up under scrutiny: Every recommendation is built on named, citable standards — so when you take it upward, you're carrying something you can defend, not just something you believe. The Free Edition removes the risk from the first decision entirely: nothing to approve, nothing to justify, just the framework.

Executive Leadership Mandate

When the Solution Needs an Executive Owner

The Sakti Solution™ is not only an advisory framework. It is the operating architecture behind a Chief Portfolio Officer mandate: turning programme evidence into capital-allocation intelligence, enforceable governance, commercial protection and board-level decisions across an infrastructure portfolio.

Advisory clients can begin with a diagnostic or recovery engagement. Organisations seeking permanent institutional ownership can progress directly to an executive appointment. The methodology stays the same; the accountability moves inside the organisation.

Frequently Asked QuestionsPlain answers.

The Sakti Solution is designed for P6-based programmes. However, the governance principles (clear decision rights, commercial strategy, executive intelligence) apply to any programme regardless of scheduling tool. If you don't have P6, you may need to supplement with a scheduling consultant to build the schedule baseline. Contact us for specific guidance on your situation.

No. The Sakti Solution is portfolio governance, not project management. It operates at the directorship level, not the project manager level. It addresses strategic decision-making, capital protection, and executive intelligence — not task scheduling or resource allocation. Your PM handles the daily schedule; we give leadership the signals and decision rights to act on.

Full methodology deployment is typically 3–4 months for all five roadmaps. Roadmaps I–III take 5–9 weeks. Roadmap IV (Intelligence Throne) is ongoing — it doesn't have an end date. Roadmap V (Recovery) is conditional and only activates if recovery is needed.

The author has directorship-level experience governing USD 500M+ infrastructure portfolios and complex megaprojects in distressed conditions. Specific case studies (Rail Megaproject and Ashghal Qatar) are in the Premium Edition. For confidential programmes, details are anonymized or modified to protect commercial information.

Invest in Clarity Before Crisis Strikes

We believe capital entrusted to a programme should arrive as benefit delivered.

The Sakti Solution gives you the framework, the evidence, and the intelligence to make decisions that protect capital, recover schedule, and function under stress.

Most EOT and claim notice periods are already running in your contract — whether or not anyone's tracking them. The window doesn't wait for the decision to buy a framework to protect it.
