How Iris supports
resilience planning
1
Identify what drives risk
Before you plan resilience actions, you need to know where the risk originates. Iris breaks down risk by hazard, by building component, and by consequence type.
You see exactly which components are vulnerable and which hazard scenarios produce the most costly outcomes. For a mid-rise office in a flood zone, that might mean ground-floor mechanical equipment accounts for 60% of projected repair costs.
For a data center, it might be rooftop HVAC systems driving downtime under extreme wind scenarios.

Model specific interventions
Raise ground-floor equipment. Harden the building envelope. Relocate critical systems above projected flood levels.
Iris models each intervention against the baseline risk profile and quantifies the impact: reduced repair costs, shorter downtime, lower annualized losses. Compare multiple strategies side by side.
3
Build the business case
Every intervention comes with implementation cost estimates, expected avoided losses, benefit-cost ratios, and payback periods. These outputs are formatted for capital planning and budget allocation.
When leadership asks why a $2M retrofit is worth it, the answer is traceable to specific hazard scenarios and specific building components.
4
Prioritize across the portfolio
With risk quantified and interventions modeled, Iris ranks assets and actions by ROI. Identify which buildings benefit most from intervention, which actions deliver the highest avoided loss per dollar spent, and where to sequence your capital program over time.
Outputs built for
capital planning and operations teams
Cost-benefit analysis
Implementation cost, annualized avoided losses, benefit-cost ratio, and payback period for each intervention or strategy.
Avoided losses are expressed as probabilistic ranges so the business case reflects the full spread of outcomes.
Per-asset and aggregated across the portfolio.
Intervention scenarios
Side-by-side comparison of baseline vs. mitigated risk profiles. Each scenario shows the specific actions modeled and their expected impact.
Risk driver breakdown
Which hazards and which building components contribute most to loss and downtime. The starting point for targeted intervention design.
Risk rating shift
Before/after risk rating comparison (e.g., High → Low) tied to specific interventions. Clear enough for stakeholder communication.
Capital program roadmap
Prioritized interventions ranked by ROI, sequenced for multi-year budget planning.
