Free supply-chain risk assessment tool
A live model beats a spreadsheet matrix. Same likelihood × impact framework — but the numbers are computed from your routes, public trade data and disruption history, not typed into a grid.
This free supply-chain risk assessment tool runs entirely in your browser. Instead of filling in a risk-assessment template by hand, you build your supplier network once and Datastripes scores five exposure types — disruption, cost, tariff, concentration and compliance — against public data, and ranks the drivers you should act on first.
The question
What a risk assessment should actually answer
A useful assessment answers four things, not one:
- Which suppliers or nodes, if they fail, hurt you most?
- How likely is a disruption over your planning horizon, and how bad?
- Where is your exposure concentrated — one supplier, one country, one route?
- What is the cost and lead-time impact, and what reduces it?
A static matrix records opinions. Datastripes computes these from the topology of the chain you build and the public data behind each factor.
What it scores
The five exposure types
Monte-Carlo risk score
Simulated disruptions across the network return a probability-weighted risk score with the top drivers ranked.
Routed cost model
Cost and lead time routed through every path, so a shock propagates to a real number.
Duty exposure
Applied MFN and bilateral duty on each segment, from World Bank WITS data.
Single points of failure
Herfindahl index, country share and single-source count across the base.
Sanctions & forced labour
A first-pass screen against the US BIS Entity List and UFLPA forced-labour lists.
Step by step
From supplier list to risk score
Add or import suppliers
Enter suppliers, sites and lanes, or import a CSV. Everything stays on your device.
Run the assessment
Datastripes routes the model, runs the Monte-Carlo simulation and scores each exposure type.
Read the drivers and act
Work the ranked list — add a backup source, re-route, buffer stock — then re-run to confirm the score fell.

Template vs a live model
| Risk-assessment template | Datastripes | |
|---|---|---|
| Inputs | Typed-in opinions | Your routes, costs and public trade data |
| Likelihood | A guess on a 1–5 scale | Monte-Carlo simulation over the network |
| Impact | A guess on a 1–5 scale | Cost and lead-time delta, routed |
| Update | Re-typed each quarter | Re-run in seconds after any change |
| Cost | Free | Free, no signup |

Questions
People also ask
- How do you do a supply-chain risk assessment?
- Map your suppliers, sites and routes; identify which nodes are critical; estimate likelihood and impact of disruption; and prioritise mitigations. Datastripes automates the middle two steps from the network you build.
- Is there a supply-chain risk assessment template?
- Datastripes replaces the template with a live model: you get the same likelihood × impact structure, but the numbers are computed rather than typed.
- How is the disruption-risk score calculated?
- By Monte-Carlo simulation: disruptions are sampled across the network and propagated through the routed cost and lead-time model, producing a probability-weighted score. Assumptions are shown on screen.
- Does it cost anything?
- No. The assessment is free and runs in your browser with no account.
