Re: Applying Uncertainties to Summary Tasks

Post by Intaver Support »

Here is one of the common question many our users are asking: If I apply uncertainty to a summary task, do all subtasks receive the same values and distributions?

All subtasks inherit the same coefficient or real number values, and statistical distributions when applied at the summary level.

Best Practices

• Use this feature carefully, as it enforces uniformity across all subtasks.
• After applying, review subtasks to ensure the assumption is realistic.
• For critical or high-risk tasks, consider overriding with task-specific distributions.
• Use summary-level application primarily for early-stage or rough-order-of-magnitude analysis.
