I would echo what Laura said. There are a few areas where we have used the HECVAT-Lite version internally to at least 
understand the system's basic operation.

Definitely interested in what others are doing.

Thanks,

    There’s nothing specifically for on-prem, but you could just look at a subset of the existing questions to apply to
