Threat scenarios and loss tables produce a number.
Compare / Cyber-risk quantification
CRQ gives a number. Valty gives the number and the proof.
Cyber-risk quantification tools produce financial estimates from threat models and loss tables. Valty connects those estimates to real control evidence, internal source systems, and a proof artifact so the board can inspect the number — not just receive it.
Review the financial-risk modelInternal control state drives the model; the chain is exportable.
Both approaches produce decision-support estimates, not insurance valuations.

The CRQ / standalone quantification workflow produces output without a proof chain.
A financial-risk model that produces a loss exceedance estimate from threat scenarios, frequency distributions, and industry loss tables. The number is useful for board communication and insurance renewal, but the evidence chain connecting it to actual internal control state is typically thin or absent. The buyer trusts the model; they cannot inspect the evidence behind it.
Valty reads the output and connects it to internal evidence.
CRQ tools evidence enters Valty as a source signal. It is normalized into an evidence object with owner, freshness, and confidence — the same structure as internal controls and findings.
Evidence becomes a financial estimate with visible assumptions.
The FAIR-style exposure model consumes the connected evidence. Every estimate shows method, confidence band, and source coverage — not just a number.
The claim leaves as a proof artifact, not a dashboard screenshot.
Board packs, proof cards, and IC briefs export with source, confidence, freshness, and blocked-claim state. Claims that are stale or unsupported are labeled before they leave the platform.

DimensionCRQ / standalone quantification workflowValtyClaim note
EBITDA / dollar translationA loss estimate anchored in threat scenarios and industry tables. Internal control evidence does not change the estimate unless re-modeled manually.The financial estimate is computed from real control evidence and internal source signals. Improving a control moves the model; the delta is visible and tied to the source.Design-partner stage — evidence-driven model accuracy improves with source coverage. Estimates carry a confidence band and are labeled decision-support, not insurance valuations.
Board-ready proof artifactA risk report with scenarios, loss ranges, and recommendations. The model is the artifact; the underlying evidence is not exported with it.A proof pack exports the financial estimate with the evidence chain, assumption set, confidence tier, and blocked-claim ledger. The board sees the number and the source.Artifact design-partner stage — board pack format is calibrated through early-access engagements.
PE hold-period workflowA point-in-time estimate. Re-modeling is manual and expensive. Portfolio-level rollup is not a native workflow.Financial estimates update as control evidence changes. Portfolio rollup shows exposure movement across companies without requiring a separate modeling engagement per company.Design-partner stage — portfolio rollup requires multi-company source connections.
Method transparencyFAIR-method tools document their logic, but assumption transparency in the output artifact is variable. The buyer often receives a number without a method appendix.Method, assumptions, frequency distributions, and magnitude drivers are visible in the same surface as the estimate. The CFO can challenge the number before it becomes a board claim.Valty uses a FAIR-style model structure. Inputs are drawn from internal source evidence rather than industry tables when coverage exists.
Claim disciplineThe model output is the claim. Evidence freshness, source gaps, and assumption sensitivity are not tracked as claim state.Every dollar estimate carries source, confidence, freshness, and a sensitivity flag. If source evidence is stale, the claim is degraded or blocked before it publishes.Claims are reviewed before export. Stale evidence does not auto-publish with a caveat — it is blocked until the evidence is refreshed.
