Overview

RiskFlow is a fully self-contained Windows desktop application (the .NET runtime and the Windows App SDK are bundled — no prior installation required) dedicated to project risk analysis. It reimagines and extends the risk-analysis module of TPI-Flow as a native, offline, local executable.

Each risk is assessed before and after mitigation against a Severity × Likelihood matrix, which automatically derives a level (Low / Medium / High / Critical). The UI is in French (the app targets Swiss TPI projects).

Features

• 🗂️ Multiple analyses — manage several risk registers and switch between them from a collapsible sidebar
• 📐 Predefined matrix models — 3×4 (TPI-Flow table), 4×4 and 5×5 (multiplicative scoring)
• 📋 Risk register grouped by category (Functional, Technical, Security, Organizational, Quality, Compliance, Project)
• ✏️ Detail panel to edit a risk with live level recalculation (before/after mitigation, mitigation strategy, "can continue" blocker)
• 🟩🟥 Visual risk matrix (Severity × Likelihood) with risk numbers or counts per cell, and a before/after toggle
• 📊 Summary cards — total, critical, high and non-continuable risks
• 📄 PDF export (QuestPDF) — header, detailed table and before/after matrices
• ⚙️ Settings — theme (system/light/dark), matrix display options, report identity, category management
• 💾 Local storage with SQLite (%LOCALAPPDATA%\RiskFlow\riskflow.db)

Tech stack

Layer	Technology
UI	WinUI 3 (Windows App SDK) + MVVM (CommunityToolkit.Mvvm)
Dependency injection	Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
Runtime	.NET 10 — net10.0-windows10.0.19041.0
Data	EF Core + SQLite
PDF	QuestPDF
Packaging	Unpackaged executable (.exe), bundled runtime (self-contained)

Repository layout

RiskFlow.slnx                Solution (3 projects)
src/
  RiskFlow.App/              WinUI 3 application (UI, ViewModels, DI)
  RiskFlow.Core/             Domain (enums, matrix models, entities) — pure net10.0
  RiskFlow.Data/             EF Core + SQLite (DbContext, migrations, seed)

RiskFlow.Core depends on neither WinUI nor EF Core: the business logic (notably RiskMatrixModels, a faithful port of risk-logic.ts) stays testable in isolation.

Requirements

• Windows 10 (1809+) or Windows 11
• .NET SDK 10

Development

# Restore tools (dotnet-ef) and build
dotnet tool restore
dotnet build -p:Platform=x64

# Run the app
dotnet run --project src/RiskFlow.App/RiskFlow.csproj -p:Platform=x64

Database (EF Core)

# Add a migration
dotnet dotnet-ef migrations add <Name> --project src/RiskFlow.Data/RiskFlow.Data.csproj

Migrations are applied automatically at startup (DbInitializer).

Publishing (standalone executable)

Produces an xcopy-deployable folder containing RiskFlow.exe and the whole runtime:

dotnet publish src/RiskFlow.App/RiskFlow.csproj -c Release -r win-x64 -p:Platform=x64 -o publish
# → publish/RiskFlow.exe (self-contained, ~330 MB)

Installer

An Inno Setup script (installer/RiskFlow.iss) wraps the published folder into RiskFlow-Setup.exe:

& "${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Inno Setup 6\ISCC.exe" /DMyAppVersion=1.0.0 installer\RiskFlow.iss
# → installer-output/RiskFlow-Setup.exe

CI/CD

• CI (.github/workflows/ci.yml) builds the app on every push/PR to main.
• Release (.github/workflows/release.yml) runs on a v* tag (or manually): publishes the self-contained app, optionally signs it, builds the installer, and attaches RiskFlow-Setup.exe to a GitHub Release.

Trigger a release:

git tag v1.0.0
git push origin v1.0.0

Code signing (optional)

To sign RiskFlow.exe and the installer, add two repository secrets — the build skips signing if they are absent:

Secret	Value
PFX_BASE64	the .pfx certificate, Base64-encoded
PFX_PASSWORD	the certificate password

Encode and upload the certificate (PowerShell + GitHub CLI):

$b64 = [Convert]::ToBase64String([IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("path\to\cert.pfx"))
$b64 | gh secret set PFX_BASE64 --repo InstaZDLL/RiskFlow
gh secret set PFX_PASSWORD --repo InstaZDLL/RiskFlow   # prompts for the password
