2. Intelligent
Inclus leverages AI and organizational intelligence to identify risks, provide executive summaries, and offer advanced risk positioning. Our platform combines hard data with crowd intelligence for comprehensive risk analysis and is at the forefront of predictive risk management.

3. Agile
Inclus offers a flexible setup and lean operation of risk processes, allowing rapid engagement and adaptation to emerging risks without IT complexity. Real-time updates align with agile and lean operating environments.

4. Real-time
Inclus provides dynamic, real-time monitoring with an always-on risk dashboard, giving management an instantaneous view of risks across operations, enhancing responsiveness to uncertainties.

5. Visual
Inclus emphasizes visual analysis, offering intuitive, adaptable data representations and seamless reporting. Our platform ensures auditability and presents data by geography, function, and business unit with customizable scales.

6. Scalable
Inclus grows with your organization, adapting to increasing scopes and user numbers. It allows for scalable participation across risk domains and supports the expansion from managing threats to exploring opportunities.

Yes, Inclus offers extensive capabilities for advanced mathematical calculations and equations. If you can define it, we can calculate it. Even if you're unsure how to define your needs, our team of PhDs, mathematicians, and methodological experts can support you in achieving precise and sophisticated calculations to meet your advanced methodological requirements.

Criterion formulas allow programming custom formulas for your risk management process, allowing you to calculate complex risk scoring and performance metrics automatically. Indicator formulas allow calculating overall metrics over your entire risk management project, such as total risk scores or total project vulnerability after risk mitigation actions have been accounted for. 

Yes, Inclus supports comprehensive risk quantification. Our platform enables collaborative risk and impact assessments where stakeholders provide their best judgments (ex-ante) and incorporates real risk realization costs when such data is available (ex-post). Additionally, Inclus offers templates for Business Impact Analysis (BIA), allowing customers to quantify and model the impacts of business interruptions on critical resources.

While Inclus does not have built-in Monte Carlo simulation functionality, it facilitates the collection of valuable input for these simulations. You can use Inclus assessments to gather stakeholders' values for simulation parameters, often providing more reliable data than assumptions alone. By collecting perceptual assessments, you can determine the most likely values and probability distributions for your Monte Carlo simulations, enabling you to build more credible and accurate models.
