1. A method of analyzing risks in developing at least a portion of a technical system, comprising: performing a large number of technical evaluations of risks in the technical system; performing a large number of monetary evaluations of the risks; comparing the technical and monetary evaluations for each risk to produce a comparison outcome for each risk; defining a permissible region by setting the monetary evaluations of risks against technical evaluations of the risks; classifying each risk having a comparison outcome outside of the permissible region as an implausible risk; and analyzing, by a processor, the implausible risks in order to identify uncertainties in the analyzing of risks and to identify further risks, and wherein the risks comprise warranty risks, wherein each risk is assigned a probability of occurrence and a monetary amount of damage upon occurrence, the monetary evaluation being a function of the probability of occurrence multiplied by the monetary amount of damage, and the probability of occurrence of a warranty risk is probability of damage covered by a warranty to a technical component within a predefined operating period of the technical component multiplied by a quantity of technical components and a monetary amount of damage covered by the warranty for the technical component.
