Risk

Jakten Risk

Purpose-built Monte Carlo risk analysis and contingency reporting for construction estimates — structured registers, dependency modeling, contingency attribution, and executive reporting. Usable without Jakten Estimate.

Why teams choose Jakten Risk

Benefits first — then how it fits your deployment.

Explain contingency with confidence

Translate uncertainty into decision-ready funding analysis leadership can review.

Estimator-focused workflow

Structured around how preconstruction teams build, review, and defend estimates.

Customer-hosted control

Run on Windows infrastructure you manage — no requirement to upload sensitive estimate data to external SaaS.

Product capabilities

Every screen is designed to help estimators quantify uncertainty and explain results.

Workflow

From risk register to decision-ready funding analysis.

1

Start from your estimate

Bring in WBS-coded estimate lines and set risk potential per line — Low, Medium, or High — using your company's bands.

2

Model what could go wrong

Add risk events, map dependencies between packages, and let correlation reflect how costs really move together.

3

Run thousands of project outcomes

Monte Carlo simulation returns P50 / P75 / P90 funding levels and contingency at selected confidence levels — with the reasons why.

Analytical risk modeling inside Platform

Jakten Risk is an analytical module for construction teams. It requires Jakten Platform — included with every Risk subscription at no additional charge. Risk remains usable without Jakten Estimate and does not replace takeoff, detailed pricing, or bid-development systems.

  • Model estimate versions and run analyses inside Platform projects
  • Produce customer-ready risk reports with company standards applied
  • Purchase named seats with annual per-seat licensing

Your data. Your environment.

Project data, estimates, and risk models live on Windows machines you control — never uploaded to someone else's cloud.

Built for construction

Made for estimators and preconstruction teams on capital projects, EPC, industrial, and infrastructure work.

Defensible results

Structured risk registers, Monte Carlo simulation, and executive reporting you can stand behind in funding reviews.

Deployment topology

Office deployment topology with shared Platform Server and desktop clients
Office profile: one shared server, multiple desktop clients, one company activation.

Single-user profile

One person on one Windows PC. Platform, Risk, and company data run on that machine.

Multi-user office profile

Two or more people on separate PCs share one office server with desktop clients on each workstation.

Team deployments: purchasing five Risk seats means five named users on one shared company deployment — not five separate activations on isolated PCs.
