Auto-playing walkthrough of the cockpit, the live spreadsheet, and the board-ready dashboards generated from it.
Real spreadsheet. Real formulas. Not a stock illustration.
Tab 03 — Dependency Inventory. Every critical vendor scored on revenue impact, switching cost, regulatory exposure, and alternative supply. Composite criticality drives the heatmap and resilience index.
- CEOs evaluating enterprise resilience
- COOs mapping operational concentration
- CFOs quantifying continuity risk
- PE operating teams assessing portfolio exposure
- Hidden single points of failure across the operating stack
- Concentration risk that compounds quietly over multiple budget cycles
- Resilience scoring that has no defensible board-level framework
The operating method, step by step.
- 01 — Inventory
Populate the dependency registry across vendors, systems, and human single-points-of-failure.
- 02 — Score
Apply the four-axis criticality model: revenue impact, operational impact, regulatory weight, alternative supply.
- 03 — Concentrate
Heatmap automatically clusters concentration by function, geography, and provider.
- 04 — Index
Composite resilience index normalizes scores into a single board-comparable number.
- 05 — Report
Exposure summary and board pack auto-populate from the live model.
The math is defensible. Here it is.
Every output traces back to an editable formula. Calibrate weights, adjust thresholds, run sensitivity — without leaving Excel.
ROUND(SUMPRODUCT(impactVector, weightVector) / SUM(weightVector), 0)
Normalizes each dependency to a 0–100 criticality value.
1 − SUMSQ(shareByVendor) / POWER(SUM(shareByVendor), 2)
Herfindahl-style index for concentration across vendors.
100 − (criticality × concentrationWeight + recoveryGap × recoveryWeight)
Composite resilience number reportable to the board.
Every tab in the model.

Specific questions.
Yes. Every output is calibrated for direct inclusion in board and audit committee materials.
No. The model is structured for operating leaders and is usable without specialist financial training.
Most teams populate the inventory and produce a first board-ready exposure summary inside 5 working days.
