A diagnostic for finding which supplier concentrations could stop critical operations, including those hidden behind shared fourth parties and locations, and for judging whether the organization can absorb or exit them. It pairs an exposure model with an anchored readiness rubric. The output is a prioritised, owned gap register ready for approval.
What this asset covers
Inside are a repeatable method for measuring dependency, substitution time and exposure; an eight-dimension readiness rubric with anchored levels; and an options framework that keeps cash and capacity apart. Governance gates with approval evidence, KPI definitions, a synthetic worked example, a failure case and an alternate scenario complete the method. Editable tools cover scoring, exposure, gaps, calibration and acceptance.
