Studio · Supply Chain Risk

Know your single points of failure. Before your customers do.

Datastripes Studio scores every facility and route for criticality, flags real-world chokepoints, and surfaces bottlenecks so you find the weak link before a disruption does.

Desktop-based. Your risk exposure never leaves your machine.

Datastripes Studio supply chain risk analysis: node criticality (Monte Carlo) and bottleneck detection panel

The problem

Risk registers list suppliers. They don't show which one breaks you.

A spreadsheet of "critical suppliers" is a guess dressed up as a plan. Datastripes Studio computes criticality from the actual topology of your supply chain — who depends on whom, and whether a real alternative route exists.

What it does

Three signals a spreadsheet can't compute.

Node criticality

Ranked, not eyeballed.

Every facility gets a criticality and risk score derived from its position in the dependency graph — how many downstream nodes rely on it, and whether removing it leaves a viable path.

Chokepoints & bottlenecks

See the strait before you sail it.

Routes are checked against real-world chokepoints and bottleneck conditions, so exposure to a strait, canal or single-lane border crossing is visible before it becomes a headline.

Live monitoring

Alerts before the shock, not after.

Studio tracks live disruption signals and news against your loaded network, so an emerging strike, closure or geopolitical event is flagged against the exact facilities and routes it affects.

What you can ask

Ask as you would with a risk officer

Risk
Which node, if it goes down, hurts us most?
flip for the answer
Studio answersStudio scores every facility's criticality from its position in the dependency DAG: how many downstream nodes depend on it, and whether a viable alternate route exists.
Risk
Are we exposed to the Strait of Hormuz or the Suez Canal?
flip for the answer
Studio answersStudio flags every route that passes through a real-world chokepoint, so you know your exposure before a headline forces you to find out.
Risk
What's our real backup route, not the one on paper?
flip for the answer
Studio answersStudio compares your official routing against live alternative-supplier paths in the same graph, scored on cost, time and tariffs — not the plan that only exists in a slide.
Risk
How much would a 2-week port closure cost us?
flip for the answer
Studio answersApply a physical shock to the port node and Studio propagates it through every affected route, returning the delta in cost, time and tariff exposure.

How it works

Three steps. No consultant on retainer.

01

Load your network

Facilities, suppliers and routes resolve into one dependency graph automatically.

02

Score and flag

Studio ranks every node by criticality and flags chokepoint and bottleneck exposure.

03

Act before it happens

Fix the ranked list, not the whole map. Re-run after every change to confirm the exposure dropped.

Method and reliability

Risk scoring, reproducible on demand.

Topological
Not a checklist

Criticality is computed from the graph structure of your real network, not a manually maintained risk register.

Applied
To your suppliers

Your facilities, your routes, your chokepoints — scored the same way every time you run it.

Verifiable
In one report

Every score can be reconstructed and verified. Same network, same score. Compliant with EU Regulation 2024/1689, Art. 50.

We stopped guessing which supplier mattered most and started measuring it.

Data and sovereignty

Desktop-based. Risk data stays private.

Supplier and risk data are among the most sensitive numbers a company holds. Studio runs on your own desktop, so they never leave it.
