Restructuring Recommendation

Implement lead plus agent model. Reduce project scheduler headcount by 60-70% and deploy AI agents to handle schedule development, analysis, reporting, and claim preparation. Retain one senior scheduler per 3-4 projects to provide oversight and handle stakeholder meetings. This maintains quality while significantly reducing labor costs.
