Methodology Disclosures

How the platform
actually works.

Five detailed whitepapers documenting the proprietary scoring, synthesis, and risk quantification engines. Every formula, every constant, every assumption explicit. Suitable for RFPs, carrier submissions, board packets, regulator audit evidence, and academic citation.

Methodology is disclosed for transparency. Implementation is proprietary trade secret. Licensing: licensing@afteraction.dev.

Featured

The After Action Readiness Score

A transparent methodology for cyber crisis readiness assessment

The single 0–100 number that quantifies operational readiness across eight NIST 800-61 aligned capability dimensions. Includes the full formula, severity penalties, industry benchmarks, dynamic benchmark thresholds, and prescriptive recommendation tiers.

The Mispriced Risk Score

A quantitative framework for cyber insurance pricing

The six-factor composite score that quantifies the gap between a client's actual exposure and their preparedness. Documents industry criticality bases, readiness time decay, vendor concentration penalties, and carrier action tables.

FAIR Risk Quantification at After Action

How we turn exercise gaps into annualized loss expectancy

Factor Analysis of Information Risk methodology with Monte Carlo simulation (10,000 iterations using Beta-PERT distributions), breach cost regression model based on IBM Ponemon research, and the exercise-to-FAIR bridging logic that makes it automatic.

After Action Report Auto-Drafting

From 4 hours to 50 milliseconds

The deterministic synthesis methodology that turns raw exercise data into a fully populated AAR in under 50 milliseconds. Covers the rating derivation logic, executive summary templates, pattern-based strengths generator, and severity-to-due-date mapping.
