SOMA Risk Studio · V2.12.1

Quantitative risk analysis built for traceable review.

Four framework assessments. A deterministic Monte Carlo engine. Every figure traced to its source row — built for the scrutiny UK infrastructure programmes face.

Product tour

From reference input to traceable draft output.

A representative view of the product. It plays as it scrolls into view — and stays stopped if your device prefers reduced motion.

Static preview of the Weblink deliverable dashboard using reference data

The tour plays automatically when it scrolls into view, pauses off-screen, and never autoplays when your device prefers reduced motion.

The problem

QSRA is too important to do this way.

Every QSRA we inherit slows down in the same three places. They cost time the people best placed to fix the schedule can't get back.

01

Spreadsheets that don't validate themselves

Risk registers, three‑point estimates, correlation matrices — entered by hand, silently wrong. Errors don't surface until the model misbehaves — and a number you can't trace to its source row is a number you can't defend under IPA- or ONR-grade scrutiny.

02

Safran round‑trips that cost days

Build inputs, export, import, run, re‑export, re‑import. Every round‑trip is a chance to break the chain. By the time you're reporting, the schedule has moved on.

03

Frameworks checked manually, inconsistently

DCMA 14‑point, Acumen Fuse SQI, CIOB PP21, SOMA's own readiness checks. Different analysts apply them differently. Different schemes end up assessed against different bars.

The answer

One toolkit. Validate, model, report.

SOMA Risk Studio brings the QSRA assurance workflow into one place. Quality checks run as the team works. The internal Monte Carlo engine independently cross-checks quantitative results alongside the client's approved engine. Every output traces back to its source row.

You still run your approved engine of record — but validated inputs and an independent internal cross-check mean you stop discovering errors on the third round-trip.

  • Four input lanes — manual entry, paste‑in, standard template, or non‑standard importer.
  • Four validation frameworks running on the same schedule, every time: SOMA QSRA Readiness, DCMA 14‑point, CIOB PP21, Acumen Fuse SQI.
  • Internal Monte Carlo cross-check — Higham PSD repair, NORTA, six distributions and Spearman tornados.
  • Each run can produce five draft deliverable formats for supervised review: the Excel workbook (.xlsm), a Word report, a PPTX briefing, the interactive weblink (HTML) and PDF.

Multi-framework validation

75 checks. One dashboard. Each failure traced to a source row.

Pick the framework your client asks for. Or run all four. Every failed check explains why — and points to the exact row, column, or activity that caused it.

Schedule Lens

See the schedule you've been asked to defend.

Time-scaled Gantt with hierarchical WBS, critical-path bars, milestone diamonds, open-end markers, dangling outlines, negative-lag flags. Click any activity for the full diagnostic trace — predecessor, successor, every check it failed.

Defensibility

Designed for traceable internal assurance.

Audit-replay archive

Every run is captured with a cryptographic chain. Re‑run any historic period and get byte‑identical outputs. No drift, no excuses.

Per-finding accept workflow

If a check failure is accepted within the controlled workflow, the reason is recorded in the audit log for supervised assurance review.

Traceability to source row

Every output value — every P50, every tornado bar, every band — traces back to the input row, activity ID, or model iteration that produced it.

Multi-user file locks + role identity

HMAC-chained audit log records who did what, when, on which scheme. Concurrent edits are file-locked. No phantom changes.

Evaluation evidence

Built from UK infrastructure assurance workflows.

The product is evaluated against reference and anonymised-composite workflows. This public site does not claim general availability and does not identify client schemes.
