About SOMA

People‑first Project Controls. Real partnership. Real expertise.

SOMA Project Controls was founded by practitioners who wanted to do things properly. We build Risk Studio because our clients asked us to fix the QSRA workflow — and we knew enough about it to do it well.

Founded by Adam O'Neill, lead practitioner — 15 years in Project Controls on UK strategic infrastructure.

Who we are

SOMA is a people-first consultancy specialising in Project Controls.

We bring real, practical experience and strong relationships together to help complex projects run smoother, smarter and with fewer surprises. We give clients the confidence and expertise needed to deliver successfully.

We work as genuine partners — calm under pressure, honest in our advice and focused on outcomes. We say what we'll do. We do it. And when something's harder than it looks, we tell you that too.

What guides us

Three things we hold ourselves to — and how we know we do.

01

Trusted to Deliver

We've told our Tier‑1 client three times in 18 months that what they asked for would slip a release. Each time they thanked us. That's what "trusted to deliver" looks like when nobody's looking.

02

Relationships First

The person who picked up the phone on day one is the person who picks it up on day 600. No account team, no inbox triage, no being passed around. The relationship is the product.

03

Real Expertise, Real Impact

Risk Studio shipped 300+ versioned releases because the team building it runs QSRAs for a living. Every release closes a real problem we hit on a real scheme that week.

What we do

Three services. One discipline.

  • Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) — Helping clients understand and manage project risk with data-driven confidence modelling. The discipline that drives Risk Studio.
  • Project Planning & Scheduling — Setting projects up for success with clear, robust programme management.
  • Cost Management & Assurance — Keeping budgets honest and forecasts reliable.
Why we built Risk Studio

Because we'd run hundreds of QSRAs by hand and knew exactly what was broken.

Spreadsheets that didn't validate themselves. Safran round-trips that ate three days a period. Four different framework checklists run inconsistently across schemes. We weren't theorising — we were the team doing the work, and we knew what the workflow should feel like instead.

300+ versioned releases later, Risk Studio is in production across a major UK infrastructure delivery programme. Every feature on the roadmap started as a complaint we made on a Tuesday afternoon. That's how it stays useful — and that's how we kept it ours to fix.

We don't have a sales team. The person who picks up the phone is the person who runs your account — and the person whose name is on the Risk Studio release notes.
