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.
—
TIER 1 · PERIPHERAL
4/100
Whether this entity's criticality inputs have actually been reviewed. A score of 0 can mean either 'assessed and found unimportant' or 'never assessed yet' -- this indicator distinguishes the two so an unassessed entity is never mistaken for a confirmed low-criticality one. UNASSESSED
ENTITY CRITICALITY: 4 — TIER 1, PERIPHERAL Highest contributor: Shipping Route type baseline (no specific chokepoint significance recorded) (+4 of 25). Limiting factor: Importance level not set (70 points below its maximum). DATA QUALITY: no curated inputs have been set for this entity yet -- this score reflects the absence of assessment, not a confirmed low-criticality finding.
