How to — 12 worked guides

Every workflow, step by step.

From the first XER import to a P80 deliverable your planner can open in P6 — twelve short guides, each one driven in the real app and screenshotted along the way. Everything here runs on the free tier, in your browser, with nothing uploaded anywhere.

Before you start — two minutes of orientation

The app is six numbered tabs1 Import 2 Schedule 3 Risk Register 4 Ranges 5 Results 6 Reports — worked left to right. The run bar at the bottom (seed, iterations, ▶ Run Monte Carlo) is always in reach.

Your model lives in one file — a .riskproj Risk File, saved with Save and reopened with Open. Schedule, register, ranges, correlations, LD rates, tracking log, report settings: all of it. The app also autosaves to your browser and restores the last session on reload.

Nothing leaves your machine. Schedules are parsed in the browser; simulation runs in the browser; reports are generated in the browser. Same file, same seed, same result — every run is reproducible, and the results view prints a certificate to prove it.

Keyboard: ⌘/Ctrl S saves the Risk File, ⌘/Ctrl ↵ runs, ⌘/Ctrl P opens the report. The free tier caps runs at 2,000 iterations and watermarks reports — every feature on this page works without a licence.

No schedule to hand? Every guide below works with the built-in demo — ▶ Load demo project (Tower C — Substation & Civils) on the Import tab — or the downloadable files from the Examples page.

Where next

The Examples page has three complete case studies with every file downloadable — reproduce the numbers, then swap in your own schedule. The Maths documents every formula these guides lean on, from merge bias to Iman–Conover, and Benchmark runs the seeded engine check in your own browser.
