Social Risk Quantifier
Everyone in this field can cite the finding that community conflict costs 50 to 70 percent of a project's net present value. Almost nobody can tell a CFO what it is costing their project. This is the tool for that conversation.
The problem it solves
Social risk loses every internal budget argument for one reason: it arrives as a narrative while everything it competes with arrives as a number. The community relations manager describes a deteriorating relationship. The capital paper quantifies a conveyor.
The Quantifier converts what a social performance team already knows into a defensible range: the cost of the delay scenarios that are actually plausible for this project, in this jurisdiction, at this stage. Not a risk score out of a hundred. A number with the working shown, which is the only kind a finance function will argue with rather than dismiss.
It will live at getsocialaccord.com, alongside the rest of the Social Accord Architecture product family.
What it takes as input
- Project value, schedule and the cost of a month of delay
- Current engagement posture and grievance volume
- Permitting exposure and the consent processes still open
- Comparable disruption events in the same jurisdiction
Hear when it launches
One email when it opens, and one if I run an early access round. I will also ask a handful of people to test the model against a real project, so say if you would be up for that.
