Most mediators need the delay claim explained to them. TruceWorks is built around a forensic-CPM background — so the critical path, the concurrency defense, and the change-order paper trail don't need translating before the real negotiation can start.
Construction and complex-commercial disputes usually turn on the schedule and the paper, not the personalities. A mediator who can read a fragnet, spot a pacing delay, or follow a design-liability chain gets both sides to a realistic number faster — because neither side can win the room by simply out-explaining the other.
