Explanation
An uncertainty analysis best allows risk management results to be used knowledgeably. Risk management relies on estimates, assumptions, and incomplete data - an uncertainty analysis quantifies the confidence level and error margins in those estimates. Decision-makers need to understand how reliable the results are before acting on them. Without knowing the degree of uncertainty, results may be misinterpreted as more precise than they actually are. Vulnerability analysis, likelihood assessment, and threat identification are all inputs to risk management, but they do not directly communicate how much confidence to place in the overall results.
