// Design Philosophy

Built on cognitive science

Miller's Law

In 1956, psychologist George Miller demonstrated that the human brain can only hold 7 (±2) items in working memory at once. Overload that limit and decision-making breaks down.

Risk Analyser is designed around this principle. The bowtie structure deliberately organises complex risk information into focused, bounded groups — threats on one side, consequences on the other — so your brain can process each element clearly without becoming overwhelmed.

Chunked information

Threats, controls and consequences are each grouped separately, keeping each chunk within cognitive limits.

Visual clarity over data overload

A single bowtie replaces pages of text — letting you see the full risk picture at a glance, not wade through it.

Better decisions under pressure

When risks are structured to match how the brain works, teams respond faster and more accurately in critical situations.

// Reports

Professional compliance reports

Generate ready-to-share reports directly from your bowtie diagrams — no reformatting required.

Bowtie Summary Report

A high-level overview across all your bowtie diagrams. For each bowtie, the report includes an overall risk rating, all identified threats, controls in place, and consequences — giving stakeholders a clear at-a-glance picture of your risk landscape.

Bowtie Detail Report

A comprehensive breakdown across all bowties. Lists every consequence with its individual risk rating, every threat identified, and all associated controls — giving auditors and risk managers the full detail they need for compliance and review.

// Pricing
