A diagnostic for finding which supplier concentrations could stop critical services. It covers direct suppliers and the shared providers behind them, and pairs every finding with a grade for the evidence that supports it.
What this diagnostic covers
The asset defines the decision and when to use the diagnostic, then sets out an inputs and evidence-grading scheme. It gives a scoring method with written formulas and anchored scales, and classification rules. A ten-week execution plan comes with approval gates, a risk register and KPI definitions. The asset closes with a synthetic worked example, a failure case, a practice exercise, and editable tools: a questionnaire, an evidence register, a scoring worksheet, a clinic challenge log and a reference verification register.
