# Find the Delivery Floor Hidden in a Project’s Dependencies — Free

A list of task lengths hides the work that must wait for other work. Enter durations and predecessor names to expose earliest starts, earliest finishes and the longest dependency chain before promising a delivery day.

**Free and complete.** This guide is a standalone free tool — no account, no card, anywhere. The only paid option is one optional extra outcome: $4 one-time. Nothing in the free tier is gated.

## Who it's for

People planning a small work deliverable with explicit handoffs

## What's free

- one complete unwatermarked dependency-rung route run in the app
- three labeled samples and unlimited article-demo calculations
- complete result text and a user-triggered input-state link

## Optional paid add-on

**$4 one-time.**

- unlimited subsequent dependency-rung route app calculations after a local convenience signal
- print the dependency-rung route with visible assumptions and its safety boundary
- CSV of the displayed workdays and row workings; conditional estimate uses your manual-retyping minutes
- five local reading summaries (headline/count/time), not saved full inputs or cross-device backups

## Sources & verification

- Tool: GratisAI local-first instrument (no key, no account)
