Jakten Risk

Defensible contingency for construction estimates

Stop guessing at contingency. Construction risk analysis on infrastructure you control — Jakten Risk is commercially available for contractors and estimators. Purchase annual seats, deploy on Windows, and know your number before the funding review.

Your data. Your environment.

Project data, estimates, and risk models live on Windows machines you control — never uploaded to someone else's cloud.

Built for construction

Made for estimators and preconstruction teams on capital projects, EPC, industrial, and infrastructure work.

Defensible results

Structured risk registers, Monte Carlo simulation, and executive reporting you can stand behind in funding reviews.

From estimate to defensible number

Three steps between the estimate you have and the contingency you can stand behind.

1

Start from your estimate

Bring in WBS-coded estimate lines and set risk potential per line — Low, Medium, or High — using your company's bands.

2

Model what could go wrong

Add risk events, map dependencies between packages, and let correlation reflect how costs really move together.

3

Run thousands of project outcomes

Monte Carlo simulation returns P50 / P75 / P90 funding levels and the contingency you should carry — with the reasons why.

Walk into the funding review with a report, not a spreadsheet

Jakten Risk generates an executive funding recommendation with the base estimate, P-level funding targets, recommended contingency, and the drivers behind it — formatted for leadership review and authorization.

When the owner or your CFO asks why this number, the answer is on the page.

  • Recommended funding level at your target confidence
  • Contingency drivers with measured attribution
  • Branded, board-ready output in one click

How you deploy — and who keeps the data

Jakten Platform is Windows desktop software. Your project data never leaves your network.

One estimator, one PC

Install Platform on a single Windows PC. Everything — estimates, risk models, results — lives on that machine.

Office team, shared server

Run Platform Server on an office server. Each estimator connects a desktop client over your LAN — one shared source of truth.

Office deployment topology with shared Platform Server and desktop clients
Office profile: one shared server, multiple desktop clients, one company activation — all inside your network.
Your data. Your environment. jakten.net handles checkout, licensing, and documentation only — project data, estimates, and risk models stay on infrastructure you control.

Risk is just the beginning

Jakten Risk is the first module in the Jakten Suite — integrated planning for capital projects, from pursuit to funding strategy, all on one connected platform.
