Gas Field Expansion Schedule Risk Analyzer with LangChain

L&T's contract award for Aramco's Jafurah fourth expansion phase involves critical timeline management across complex gas treatment facilities. Build a stateful schedule risk evaluation agent using LangChain and Llama 3.3 70B to detect critical path delays and resource bottlenecks. Maintain mean absolute error below 3 days on timeline prediction.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

critical_path_identification

Verifies correctly identified bottleneck task on critical path

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

delay_days_mae

Mean Absolute Error in predicted delay days compared to ground truth graph solver • target: 2.5 • range: 0-10

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
