4 Reasons DIY Risk Tools Fall Flat (Even When They Look Fancy)

1. Garbage In, Garbage Out: If the inputs are bad, the platform can’t fix them—no matter how slick the interface is.

2. No Human Context: Data without expert interpretation misses nuance—and misses real risk.

3. Shallow Scoring: Most DIY tools stop at surface-level math. No benchmarking. No validation. No weighting.

4. False Confidence: Just because it looks like analysis doesn’t mean it is. Pretty dashboards don’t mean smart decisions.

Want real insight? Use tools built by people who know what the numbers mean—and what to do next.
