Exposure is measurable.
Outcomes aren't.
RiskSmith measures the exposure you're actually carrying — every position, and the portfolio as a whole — in dollars, before you commit capital.
Professionals don't have better predictions. They have better rules.
What separates a professional trading desk from a retail account isn't foresight. It's governance: a risk budget, position limits, and the discipline to size every idea against them. RiskSmith brings that practice to individual portfolios.
Know your worst case before the market shows it to you.
For every position, RiskSmith estimates an extreme move using a conservative convention drawn from professional risk management — a rule, stated in advance, not a forecast. And it measures the same thing on your portfolio as a whole, where positions that offset each other reduce the number. What you see is what a bad stretch could mean in dollars — for each holding, and for everything together. Investors who have already faced their worst case on paper are harder to shake out of good positions.
What you won't find here
Most investing tools sell confidence. RiskSmith sells measurement. So there are things we deliberately leave out:
Start from a worked example
Pro members get portfolios constructed by our founder — not as recommendations, but as worked examples of the method: how a risk budget and volatility-based sizing fit together in practice. Fork one, examine how it's built, and adapt it to your own capital. The goal is that you eventually won't need ours.
Built by someone who's done this before
RiskSmith is built by Dr. Richard Smith, a systems scientist with a Ph.D. in uncertainty quantification and two decades of building risk tools used by tens of thousands of individual investors. The lesson of those decades is simple: markets reward discipline more reliably than they reward prediction. RiskSmith is that lesson, in software.
