# Welcome to CRQ Pro
FAIR-Based Cyber Risk Quantification in Microsoft Excel and PowerBI
Securemetrics CRQ Pro is a FAIR-based Cyber Risk Quantification Toolkit built in Microsoft Excel and PowerBI.
### Why CRQ Pro?
> * Run 20,000+ Monte Carlo simulations natively in Excel with no add‑ins or Python installs.
> * Generate transparent, defensible FAIR models.
> * Publish interactive dashboards and live‑data PowerPoint slides with one click.
### Core principals
> 1. **Simplicity at scale.** Risk modeling shouldn’t be complex.
> 2. **Transparency by design.** Every assumption is visible.
> 3. **Low‑friction deployment.** No expensive SaaS. Excel & Power BI are all you need.
### Python-powered Monte Carlo in Excel
* Native Excel models typically max out at \~10,000 iterations.
* CRQ Pro uses Microsoft’s Python in Excel to run 20,000+ simulations with no environment setup required.
* No more expensive add‑ins ($1,500–$3,000/user/year) or SaaS lock‑in.
### One-click PowerBI Reporting
* Run locally in PowerBI Desktop or share reports across the org.
* Connect your Excel workbook in seconds with no Power BI modeling required.
* Export charts (live or static) directly into PowerPoint for board‑ready slides.
