Work with us
Our methods, applied to your decision
We help teams answer a specific supply-network question — a sourcing shift, a tariff exposure, a supplier dependency — with the methods and data behind our public research.
Engagement formats
Rapid screen
Exposure screen
A short review of products, suppliers, regions and policy exposure that shows where management attention should go first.
Focused memo
Decision memo
A deeper analysis for one sourcing, tariff, supplier, market-entry or financing decision.
Monitoring
Network intelligence brief
A repeatable frame for tracking trade-policy changes, supplier concentration and financing pressure.
Workstreams
| Workstream | Use when | Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier and corridor exposure | A sourcing, diversification or resilience decision depends on relationships below the first supplier tier. | Exposure map, priority nodes, substitution constraints. |
| Trade policy and sourcing economics | A tariff or trade-policy change may alter landed cost, supplier viability or regional sourcing. | Policy exposure screen and product priorities. |
| Working capital and supplier resilience | Supplier continuity depends on payment terms, credit access or trade-finance channels. | Risk segmentation and financing-pressure indicators. |
| Market entry and regional production | A team is comparing regions, suppliers or counterparts under changing trade regimes. | Market-entry screen and the information gaps to close. |
| Evidence and monitoring systems | An organisation needs repeatable monitoring across policy, supplier and market signals. | Research workflow, source map and monitoring taxonomy. |
How an engagement runs
From the decision to the evidence, and back
We start with the decision a team has to make, then build only the evidence it needs.
Intake and scope
Define the decision, the audience, the time horizon and what a useful answer must resolve.
Evidence map
Assemble the relevant products, suppliers, regions, policy rules and financing relationships.
Exposure analysis
Identify concentration, substitution constraints, policy sensitivity and missing information.
Decision memo
Translate findings into options, assumptions, thresholds and next actions.
Implementation support
Support follow-up review, supplier qualification questions or monitoring design as the decision moves forward.
What you receive
Evidence
Source log and assumptions
What was reviewed, what was inferred, and where your own information is needed.
Analysis
Ranked exposure
Exhibits to our research standards, with the data behind each finding.
Decision
Options and next steps
Options, thresholds, residual uncertainty and the criteria for the next decision point.
Advisory and research
Advisory work applies the same methods and data as our public research, but it does not set the research agenda. Our reports are not commissioned or funded by any client.
