How to demo BreachCalc in 5 minutes

A simple step-by-step script for walking someone through the Energy calculator or the Maritime calculator at the booth.

Open & orient

Open the calculator

Navigate to BreachCalc Energy. The visitor will see a registration form first — enter their name and email to unlock the tool.

This is BreachCalc. It translates cyber risk into financial impact for energy operations using real public benchmarks.

Point out the three outputs

Before touching any inputs, show them the three result cards on the right side of the screen:

Typical one-time impact — median benchmark result
Severe stress case — highest benchmark in the set
Expected annual exposure — median × planning likelihood

These are the three numbers your team needs for planning: what a typical event costs, what a bad day looks like, and what your annual exposure is.

Walk through the inputs

Set the capacity

Type 50 in the capacity field (MW). This represents a single-site example.

Start with 50 megawatts — a typical single-site size. Watch how the numbers update instantly.

Scale it up

Change the capacity to 200 MW, then to 1 GW (switch the unit dropdown). Let the visitor see the numbers grow.

Now let's look at a larger portfolio. At 200 MW the impact scales proportionally. At 1 GW you can see the portfolio-level exposure.

Adjust the planning likelihood

Move the likelihood from 10% down to 5%, then up to 20%.

This is a planning assumption, not a prediction. Changing it shows how annual exposure shifts depending on how conservative or aggressive your planning stance is.

Show the benchmarks (only if asked)

Open the benchmark details

Click the “Benchmark details” section to expand it. Show the table of real public incidents used in the model.

Every number comes from a published incident or survey. You can see the sources, what was reported, and how we normalize it to dollars per megawatt.

Tip: Don't lead with this section. Use it to answer “where do the numbers come from?” questions.

Toggle benchmarks on/off

Uncheck one or two benchmarks to show how the outputs change. This demonstrates sensitivity and transparency.

You can include or exclude specific benchmarks depending on what’s most relevant to your operation. The model updates in real time.

Close strong

Use the “Copy brief” button

Click Copy brief at the top of the page. This copies a plain-text summary they can paste into an email or report.

You can copy the results as a text summary and share it with your team right now. Everything runs in the browser and nothing is stored on our servers.

Closing message

End with a clear statement about the value.

BreachCalc helps turn cyber risk into a planning number your executives can use. It’s fast, transparent, and built on real data.

Full demo flow summary: Registration → 50 MW → 200 MW → 1 GW → Adjust likelihood → Benchmark details (if asked) → Copy brief → Close.

Open & orient

Open the Maritime calculator

Navigate to BreachCalc Maritime. The visitor registers with name and email to unlock the tool.

This is BreachCalc Maritime. It models the financial impact of a cyber disruption on port and terminal operations.

Point out the layout

The left side has scenario inputs. The right side has the total impact, four metric cards, and a full breakdown.

On the left you set the scenario. On the right you see the total estimated cost, broken down by throughput loss, vessel delays, response costs, and recovery.

Use the presets

Click “Container terminal”

This loads a realistic scenario for a container port: 48-hour outage, 3 vessels delayed, and typical response costs.

Let’s start with a container terminal scenario. A 48-hour outage with 3 vessels delayed. Watch the total impact on the right.

Switch to “Maritime energy”

Click the Maritime energy preset. The numbers change to reflect higher throughput costs and longer recovery.

Now let’s look at a maritime energy scenario — higher throughput value, longer recovery, and larger penalties. You can see the total jump significantly.

Adjust the scenario

Drag the outage slider

Use the “Outage duration quick-adjust” slider at the bottom. Move it from 24 hours to 72 hours so the visitor can see the impact scale in real time.

The slider lets you see how cost scales with outage duration. Even moving from 24 to 72 hours can double or triple the total impact.

Edit one or two fields

Change the vessels delayed or throughput loss per hour to show the tool is fully customizable.

Every field is editable. If you know your actual throughput value or vessel delay costs, you can plug them in for a site-specific estimate.

Read the results & close

Walk through the breakdown

Scroll to the “Impact breakdown” card on the right. Read each line item to show where the cost comes from.

The breakdown shows exactly where the cost comes from — throughput, vessel delays, labor, incident response, recovery, regulatory exposure, and penalties. Nothing is hidden.

Closing message

End with a clear value statement about the maritime tool.

BreachCalc Maritime turns a cyber disruption scenario into operational and financial terms your leadership and AMSC teams can actually act on.

Full demo flow summary: Registration → Container preset → Maritime energy preset → Slider demo → Edit a field → Read breakdown → Close.

Quick reference

If they ask…

“Where do the numbers come from?”

Energy: real published incidents and surveys with source links. Maritime: industry-typical assumptions for port and vessel operations.

“How accurate is this?”

Directionally useful for planning, not a precise forecast. The goal is to support budgeting, resilience planning, and executive conversations.

“Is my data stored?”

The calculators run in the browser. Only registration info is stored. No scenario inputs leave the device.

“Can I get a copy?”

Energy: use the Copy brief button. Maritime: walk them through the breakdown and offer a follow-up conversation.

“What’s the difference between the two calculators?”

Energy uses public cyber benchmarks scaled to MW/GW capacity. Maritime models port and terminal downtime costs using operational assumptions like throughput, vessel delays, and recovery time.
