Executive summary

A research and business case pack for governance, risk and resilience leads who must show which supplier concentrations could stop critical operations. It also shows whether reducing them is worth the cost, with every assumption labeled and every external fact traceable.

What is inside

The 13 sections

A repeatable scoring method for dependency, substitutability and scenario exposure, with a tolerance rule that overrides the composite score. The pack also includes an options structure that keeps risk reduction apart from cash, gated governance with named approval evidence, KPI definitions, and a synthetic worked example with a failure case and alternate scenario. Editable tools cover the assumption register, source log, research question log, scoring worksheet, readiness checklist and review record.
