EAC Realism Charts and Tables
Use the charts and tables on the EAC Realism tab to assess whether or not a contract's estimated cost at completion (EAC) values are realistic.

- EAC Realism View Table
The EAC Realism View table on the EAC Realism tab enables you to compare, for the selected period, several key metrics for evaluating EAC realism: percent complete, cost variance, variance at completion, CPI to EAC, and an EAC realism indicator. - CV vs. VAC Chart
The relationship of the cumulative cost variance and the variance at completion is an important indicator of EAC realism. The CV vs. VAC chart on the EAC Realism tab tracks both variances over time in a line chart. - IEACs vs. Ctr EAC Chart
The IEACs vs. Ctr EAC chart on the EAC Realism tab compares the contractor's estimate at completion to a set of independent statistical EACs. You can use this chart to assess your EAC realism by seeing if it falls in the range defined by the independent EACs and, if so, where it falls in that range. - CPI vs. TCPI EAC Chart
The CPI vs. TCPI EAC chart on the EAC Realism tab compares, over time, the cumulative or current cost performance index (CPI) and the to-complete performance index (TCPI to EAC). CPI indicates actual cost efficiency to date, and TCPI to EAC indicates the efficiency required in the future to meet the estimate to complete. - Contract Information Table
The Contract Information table available from all tabs displays some basic information about the contract to provide context for the data analysis. To display the table, click Show Contract Info in the box that displays the contract and period. Click Hide Contract Info in that box to hide the table.
