This took a bit longer than expected since I went back and edited the previous chapter a bit. The new chapter, on Making Good Models, is attached and so is the revised version of Essential Modeling Relationships.

Tonight I’m starting on the Risk Profiles chapter, which will take a while since it’s brand new material, and because I have to pull together many sources. I also think the chapter organization needs some rework so that I don’t end up describing the techniques, but instead reference their description in the Reference section. Of course I could just write the description and later rework it into the reference section, and it’s always good to be making forward progress writing.

As always, comments or questions on any of this would be appreciated!
