ForecastThis
Years of applied machine learning research in collaboration with finance and related industries has led us to push the envelope in robust forecasting and risk optimization. Both in terms of technology and data science process. Despite continued advances in AI, we advocate caution towards "one-size-fits-all" forecasting technologies. Rather, we produce bespoke solutions which excel in the context they were created for. We do this by drawing upon proven principles in a variety of disciplines, including: signal processing, information theory, evolutionary algorithms, deep neural networks and ensemble learning... always underpinned by rigorous traditional statistics and data science. As standard our methods output probability distributions describing every possible combination of outcomes, permitting holistic risk analyses and the quantification of rare or "black swan" events.

ModelRisk
ModelRisk is a Monte Carlo simulation Excel add-in that allows the user to include uncertainty in their spreadsheet models. ModelRisk has been the innovation leader in the marketplace since 2009, being the first to introduce many technical Monte Carlo method features that make risk models easier to build, easier to audit and test, and more precisely match the problems you face. A ModelRisk user replaces uncertain values within their Excel model with special ModelRisk quantitative probability distribution functions that describe the uncertainty about those values. ModelRisk then uses Monte Carlo simulation to automatically generate thousands of possible scenarios. In the same way that Excel is used for many different types of analysis, ModelRisk is used to assess the uncertainty in the numbers produced by the Excel model. Users have performed risks analyses with ModelRisk in a vast range of fields.

@RISK
From the financial to the scientific, anyone who faces uncertainty in their quantitative analyses can benefit from @RISK. @RISK helps both Fortune 100 companies and private consultancies paint a realistic picture of possible scenarios. This allows businesses to not only buffer risks, but also identify and exploit opportunities for growth. @RISK (pronounced “at risk”) is an add-in to Microsoft Excel that lets you analyze risk using Monte Carlo simulation. @RISK shows you virtually all possible outcomes for any situation—and tells you how likely they are to occur. This means you can judge which risks to take on and which ones to avoid—critical insight in today’s uncertain world.
