Entity Criticality A deterministic 0-100 score and Tier 1-5 rating of how structurally important this entity is to procurement and supply chains in general -- computed from its importance level, critical-supplier/strategic/watchlist flags and entity type. Country and Region entities are not scored here; they contribute through geographic exposure instead. This is a global assessment, not specific to any one customer's own exposure.
