Supply-chain stress testing and scenario simulation
A pre-built library of 100+ disruption events and 20 composite scenarios, applied to your network — with a trajectory view that stacks shocks one at a time.
This supply-chain stress test tool runs in your browser. Pick a scenario — a port closure, the loss of a key supplier, a tariff shock, a commodity spike — and Datastripes propagates it through your routed cost and lead-time model, showing the before-and-after and the path in between.
The difference
Stress test vs risk assessment
A risk assessment tells you how exposed you are in general. A stress test tells you what happens under one specific, severe scenario — the one your S&OP review is about to argue over.
Both use the same routed model; the stress test just pins the disruption instead of sampling it.
The library
Scenarios, ready to apply
Ports, plants, routes
Chokepoint closures, port strikes, plant fires, natural-hazard events drawn from GDACS categories.
Suppliers and demand
Loss of a sole-source supplier, a tier-2 failure, a demand surge or collapse.
Tariffs and sanctions
A new duty on a lane, an entity added to a restricted-party list, an export control.
20 stacked scenarios
Pre-built multi-shock scenarios — e.g. Red Sea diversion + rate spike + peak season.
How it works
Apply, read, stack
Pick a scenario
From the library or build your own by combining events.
Read the before/after
Cost, lead time and tariff exposure, with and without the shock, per product and overall.
Follow the trajectory
Add shocks one at a time and watch the path — not just the endpoint — so you see when the chain breaks.
Output
Turning results into an S&OP slide
Each stress test produces a compact before/after table and a trajectory chart you can drop into a review deck. Run one scenario across every project to compare business units on the same shock.

Questions
People also ask
- What is a supply-chain stress test?
- Applying a specific, severe disruption scenario to your supply-chain model and measuring the impact on cost, lead time and service — the supply-chain equivalent of a bank stress test.
- How many scenarios does Datastripes include?
- Over 100 individual disruption events and 20 pre-built composite scenarios, plus the ability to combine your own.
- What is the trajectory view?
- Instead of showing only the final state after all shocks, it applies them in sequence so you can see the order in which parts of the chain fail and where the tipping point is.
- Is it free?
- Yes. It runs in your browser with no signup.
