SOMA Tools

Purpose-built software for project controls practitioners.

Three tools, one coherent toolkit: schedule-risk input validation, cost-risk Monte Carlo inside Excel, and a forthcoming in-house QSRA modelling engine. Built by practitioners, calibrated on live UK infrastructure programmes.

Desktop, local-first

Your data stays on your laptop.

No cloud, no telemetry, no third-party data processing. Built around the reality that defence and nuclear clients cannot host schedule and cost data in a third-party cloud.

Calibrated

Thresholds from real UK programmes.

Not ported from generic IMS templates. Methodology tuned on production QSRAs across National Highways, Network Rail, nuclear AGR and defence-estate work.

Defensible

Every finding traceable.

Findings map back to source rows in the XER or register. Every report stamps the methodology version used, so outputs stand up under client, ONR or NAO review.

The toolkit

Three tools, covering schedule risk, cost risk and the Monte Carlo.

Use them individually or as a set. SOMA QSRA Validator clears the inputs; SOMA QCRA handles cost risk alongside; SOMA QSRA Modelling (in build) will close the loop on schedule-risk simulation for in-house work.

SOMA QSRA Validator

Schedule-risk readiness, before the Monte Carlo runs.

Desktop input validator for Quantitative Schedule Risk Analysis. Runs DCMA 14-point, CIOB PP21, Acumen Fuse SQI and the flagship SOMA QSRA Readiness framework (25 weighted checks across 5 domains). Produces a RAG-banded scorecard, SOMA-branded Excel report, and Safran-ready flat-file exports.

SOMA QCRA

Quantitative Cost Risk Analysis, inside the estimator's workbook.

Excel add-in (.xlam) that runs Monte Carlo over a live cost estimate. Three-point distributions, correlation, P-value reporting, tornado charts, SOMA-branded report. Built as an add-in because cost inputs already live in estimators' workbooks — no round-tripping, no data exports, no separate modelling tool to learn.

SOMA QSRA Modelling

An internal Monte Carlo engine, purpose-built for QSRA.

Closing the loop so clients don't need Safran Risk for in-house work. Planned capabilities: S-curves (cost and schedule, pre- and post-mitigation), P10 / P50 / P80 / P90 reporting, tornado and sensitivity analysis, risk contribution tables, narrative report generation, and correlation-matrix support.

We also deliver QRA as a consulting engagement.

If you would rather have SOMA run the QSRA for you — workshop facilitation, model build, report — that is our lead consulting service.

Want to see a SOMA tool on your own project?

A thirty-minute screen-share is usually enough to show whether it fits. We will run the tool on a sanitised version of one of your files and walk through the output in plain English.
