Project Description: XIPRR (Experience-Informed Project Risk Reduction) is a community driven risk reduction tool designed for public use. Using the historical data of community submitted projects as well as public contributor and expert opinion, XIPRR will be able to assist in predicting possible cost overruns, miscalculations in project timeline estimation, and even total project failure. In order for this all to work, XIPRR requires both a willing community to submit project data and answer questions, and an algorithm that will combine these responses into results. The project’s goal is to build XIPRR from the ground up creating a functional, intuitive, and secure platform for people to contribute data which will ultimately lead future projects to success.
