Identifying Hidden Operational Risks
Risk Management
The biggest risks within a company are rarely mentioned in the risk report. They arise in day-to-day operations, in cost structures, pricing assumptions, and dependencies that go unquestioned.
We help you identify precisely these risks, thereby creating cost transparency—data-driven, objective, and aligned with actual value creation.

Using the right methods
Our approach
We combine cost engineering, software, and market benchmarks to identify risks where they actually arise: in products, cost structures, and operational decisions. Using our approaches, we analyze operational levers.
The result is a new understanding of the situations and circumstances—measurable, transparent, and controllable.

Validation of Product Costs & Margins
We assess whether cost estimates are realistic and sustainable. In doing so, we identify overly optimistic assumptions and evaluate the actual stability of margins.
Assessment of Cost Trends
Changes in material, energy, and labor costs are systematically analyzed. At the same time, we assess price trends in the market and identify cost risks at an early stage.
Identification of critical cost factors
We provide transparency regarding key cost drivers and analyze dependencies, such as those on raw materials or suppliers. We also assess volatility and the resulting risks.
Identification of operational vulnerabilities
We systematically identify inefficiencies throughout the value chain. In addition, we analyze structural risks in the business model and assess its resilience to market changes.
What this changes
Risks are described in concrete, quantifiable terms rather than vaguely. Decisions are based on reliable data rather than assumptions, and problems are identified before they show up in the numbers.
Typical use cases
We assist with the establishment and further development of risk management systems. In addition, we evaluate new products and business models, safeguard margins in volatile markets, and provide transparency regarding operational risks within the company.
Why costdata®
Through sound cost engineering, comprehensive benchmark data, and software-supported analyses, we make risks tangible and actively manageable.
