Scenario Analysis

After determining the key assumptions, Scenario Analysis examines all possible combinations to develops a picture of profit's overall risk.

 Risk Detective automatically looks at every possible combination of the key selected assumptions.

For those complex problems, you can define which particular combinations to examine through a decision tree, shown graphically to the left.  With a decision tree, you can create downstream decisions or asymmetric uncertainties.

This scenario chart is the result of measuring profit across every combination of assumptions, and represents a picture of profit's overall risk.  In this example, profit ranges from ($25) to $200.  The expected value (vertical bar) represents the probability weighted average of all possible scenarios.  This chart shows there is a 5% chance of losing money.
