About VRAS-99

VRAS-99 (Visual Risk Analysis System) is a structured analytical framework designed to support the professional assessment of written communications within regulated and institutional environments.

The system provides a disciplined method for examining language, structure, and behavioural indicators while supporting professional judgement rather than replacing it.

Purpose and Development

VRAS-99 was developed to address the need for a consistent, defensible approach to analysing written communications where indicators of fixation, escalation, or concern may be present.

The framework has evolved through applied professional use, structured analytical practice, and instructional development, with a focus on clarity, repeatability, and governance.

Methodological Foundation

The VRAS-99 methodology applies structured analytical reasoning to written material, focusing on:

  • Language structure and consistency

  • Contextual and behavioural coherence

The framework supports disciplined analysis without generating predictions or automated outcomes.

Governance and Use
