	*Subsections "input" and "output": These paragraphs are difficult to understand.

	*Section "Benefits": The text is not easy to understand. You should consider elaborating this a little, and maybe address some of the shortcomings, I'm sure there must be some, e.g. the classic "garbage in/garbage out" pitfall		#*Section "Benefits": The text is not easy to understand.

	*Section "Models used when": I am a bit confused about this section. Do you aim to give a survey of applicable tools for risk analysis? If so, it seems that you go somewhat outside your own definition of risk analysis. According to ISO 73:2009 (your own reference) risk analysis is step 2 in the risk assessment process, step 1 being risk identification. Some of the listed tools are probably risk identification related, and some seems to be general management tools and methods not specific for risk analysis. "Models" may also be too big a word to use for the items you describe.		#*Section "Models used when": I am a bit confused about this section.

	*Section "Models etc." The reader misses some kind of concluding wrap-up for the survey, if possible including recommendations for practical purposes.		#*Section "Models etc." The reader misses some kind of concluding wrap-up for the survey, if possible including recommendations for practical purposes.

	* "The reason why risk is analysed with so many different methods to choose from, is because several different categories of risk exist, and yet there is a universal consensus that risk is best avoided, mitigated, minimised or negated." Is there some kinds of risk we shouldn't try to avoid? Is it relevant to mention what kinds of risk there is out there?		* "The reason why risk is analysed with so many different methods to choose from, is because several different categories of risk exist, and yet there is a universal consensus that risk is best avoided, mitigated, minimised or negated."
