1. A computer-implemented system to facilitate modeling and valuation of investment decisions utilizing a set of statistical and analytical tests of a user'"'"'s existing set of input assumptions, the system comprising:

  • one or more application servers configured to electronically store information for use by aprojects economics analysis tool (PEAT) module;

    a computing device in operable communication with said one or more application servers, the computing device comprising;

    a processor;

    a memory coupled to the processor, the memory containing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the system to;

    instantiate said PEAT module;

    provide a user, via said PEAT module, a user interface for integrated risk management and evaluating options;

    present said user with a plurality of integrated risk management methodologies via said user interface, said plurality of integrated risk management methodologies comprising Monte Carlo risk simulation, Latin Hypercube simulation, strategic real options, stochastic and predictive forecasting, business analytics, business statistics, business intelligence, decision analysis, and portfolio optimization, andreceive a first input from said user via said user interface, said first input comprising a user selection of said one or more integrated risk management methodologies presented via said user interface;

    receive, process and automatically analyze a second input from said user via said user interface, said second user input comprising a plurality of entries in a plurality of open fields of said user interface corresponding to said one or more user selected integrated risk management methodologies, wherein said second input entries correspond to said user'"'"'s existing set of input assumptions,wherein said integrated risk management methodologies are applied to project and portfolio economics and financial analysis, wherein said financial analysis comprises analysis of one or more options,wherein said PEAT module user interface comprises three rows of tabular functions,the first row comprising a plurality of user selectable functions, including;

    discounted cash flow, applied analytics, risk simulation, options strategies, options valuations, forecast prediction, portfolio optimization, and knowledge center,the second row comprising functions for selecting one or more different options, portfolio analysis, or discount rateswherein said portfolio analysis function displays side-by-side comparisons of main economic and financial indicators of all options simultaneously,and the third row comprising sub-functions associated with said first row of functions and said one or more options,wherein said PEAT module performs a scenario analysis to generate multiple scenarios in order to identify hotspots,wherein said PEAT module compares multiple simulation output variables and displaying said variables in a graphical format.
