Monte Carlo Analysis Tools
Schedule, cost, and integrated risk analysis. Upload Excel, get P-values in 30 seconds.
Three Analysis Types
Schedule Risk Analysis
Open ToolUse For
- Critical path uncertainty
- Milestone confidence dates
- Duration sensitivity ranking
- Schedule contingency (days/weeks)
- Predecessor logic validation
Inputs
- Task ID, Name
- Start/End dates
- Optimistic, Most Likely, Pessimistic (days)
- Predecessors
- Distribution (Triangular/PERT)
- Schedule risks (optional)
Outputs
- P10, P50, P80, P90 finish dates
- Finish date histogram
- S-curve (confidence vs date)
- Gantt with risk extension
- Duration sensitivity tornado
- Excel report
Cost / Estimate Analysis
Open ToolUse For
- Estimate validation
- Contingency quantification
- CBS roll-up with uncertainty
- Cost sensitivity ranking
- Category-level analysis
Inputs
- Item ID, Name, Category
- Optimistic, Most Likely, Pessimistic ($)
- Distribution (Triangular/PERT)
- Cost risks (optional)
Outputs
- P10, P50, P80, P90 total cost
- Contingency $ and %
- Cost histogram
- S-curve (confidence vs cost)
- Category breakdown
- Cost sensitivity tornado
- Excel report
Integrated Analysis
Open ToolUse For
- Cost-loaded schedules
- Time-dependent cost analysis
- Cash flow projections
- Cost-schedule correlation
- What-if scenarios
- Full project risk picture
Inputs
- Schedule (tasks, durations, predecessors)
- Cost items linked to tasks
- Cost type (Fixed/Variable)
- Schedule risks
- Cost risks
Outputs
- Schedule P-values (dates)
- Cost P-values ($)
- Cost-schedule scatter plot
- Monthly burn-down (P50/P90)
- Cumulative cost curve
- Dual sensitivity analysis
- Excel report (7 sheets)
Variable Costs: Costs marked "Variable" scale proportionally when linked task duration changes. Fixed costs remain constant.
