Know how to carefully QA a FAIR quantitative risk analysis, double-checking your inputs for magnitude and frequency?  Know how to draw an estimate out of a reluctant SME? How about how to model controls - MFA vs DLP and the rest? 

This week in our reading of the FAIR book, *[Measuring and Managing Information Risk](https://www.fairinstitute.org/fair-book), *we learn some expert techniques for successful quantitative risk analysis from Chapter 10 (Common Mistakes) and Chapter 11 (Controls).  Follow the chapter study guides to keep your group's discussions productive.
