Nothing.

PCB can't do the automated parasitic extraction and signal
integrity simulations that high end software suites can.
You have to engineer that yourself with common sense and
a pocket calculator, just like they did in the olden days.
At least development copies of PCB can now compute trace
lengths (thanks, DJ!).
