See the hidden structure of risk
Risk Explorer is a 3D interactive platform for visualising and analysing risk networks. It maps entities, dependencies, and how failures propagate – surfacing insights that spreadsheets and traditional methods miss.
The Problem
Traditional risk management treats risks as isolated items. Yet risks connect. One failure triggers others. Stress enters at one point and propagates elsewhere. In complex systems, it’s the connections that reveal which risks actually matter.
A spreadsheet cannot answer structural questions – not because spreadsheets are bad, but because they’re structurally incapable of representing propagation, dependency, or feedback. You cannot see a cascade in a cell. You cannot identify a single point of failure in a row. You cannot detect a circular dependency in a column.
The Solution
Risk Explorer takes a different approach. Instead of starting with risks, it starts with the system.
First, you model the structure – entities, dependencies, relationships. Then you analyse it. And the vulnerabilities emerge from the structure itself:
– Single points of failure emerge from path analysis
– Cascade risks emerge from simulating how failures spread
– Bottlenecks emerge from centrality measurement
– Recovery barriers emerge from feedback loop detection
You don’t begin with “what could go wrong?” You begin with “how does this system work?” – and the risks reveal themselves.
What Makes It Different
Risk Explorer isn’t just a visualisation tool. It combines network science algorithms with domain expertise to generate actionable insights.
The platform answers questions that traditional risk methods cannot:
– What depends on this?
– What fails when it fails?
– Where does impact propagate?
– Where are there no alternative paths?
These aren’t replacements for traditional assessment. They’re additions – structural intelligence that reveals where failures will cascade, where vulnerabilities concentrate, and which connections actually matter.
