Slate Technologies Unveils New Cost Insights Capability to Enhance Project Intelligence
Brings deeper clarity to the root causes of change orders and events that directly impact costs and risk, empowering project teams to make smarter, faster decisions to improve outcomes.
San Mateo, CA – February 17, 2026 – Slate Technologies, a leader in AI-powered software for data-driven project delivery, announced a major enhancement to its Project Intelligence product. The enhancement introduces Cost Insights, a new analytic capability that delivers visibility into how project budgets will be impacted by change orders. Leveraging lessons learned, downstream cost impacts and emerging risk patterns, Cost Insights helps teams strengthen contingency planning, improve forecasting, and mitigate cost overruns earlier.
Cost overruns and delays remain pervasive across large capital and infrastructure projects. Research shows large projects consistently exceed their initial budgets by nearly 80%, with schedule delays exceeding 50%.

“Today’s global project environment is more complex and dynamic than ever,” said Trevor Schick, CEO at Slate Technologies. “With Cost Insights , Project Intelligence now gives teams not just historical project data, but actionable clarity on cost impacts tied to historical performance and risk patterns. Project leaders can see emerging budget pressures earlier, understand the cost drivers behind them, and act before overruns erode value.”
Slate’s Cost Insights is available immediately to all Project Intelligence customers.
