Compound Dependency Exposure Analysis

Operational Exposure Analysis

Understand where your critical operations are vulnerable, why exposure exists and what could be affected.

Operational exposure arises when important activities depend on resources that may be difficult to replace, recover or maintain during disruption.

Illustrative classifications from transparent demonstration rules. Not a validated exposure model or a forecast.

Classification rules

High: a critical activity relies on a high priority shared dependency, and that shared dependency (or something it relies on) has no ready alternative, using verified relationships only.
Insufficient Evidence: not High, and two or more of its direct relationships are unverified. Missing evidence is never treated as low exposure.
Moderate: at least one supporting resource has a partially ready, not ready or unknown alternative.
Low: supporting resources have ready alternatives, and evidence is sufficient.

Most Exposed Activities

Ranked by category, then by the number of contributing factors. No hidden scores.

Warehouse Fulfilment

High

Warehouse Fulfilment relies on a shared ERP integration service. Recovery of that service may depend on specialist knowledge concentrated in one employee.

Main dependency: ERP Integration Service
Contributing constraint: Concentrated recovery knowledge
Relevant critical dependencies: 10
Alternative readiness: Not Ready · limited or unverified
Evidence: Confirmed

Inventory and Stock Management

High

Inventory and Stock Management relies on a shared ERP integration service. Recovery of that service may depend on specialist knowledge concentrated in one employee.

Main dependency: ERP Integration Service
Contributing constraint: Concentrated recovery knowledge
Relevant critical dependencies: 8
Alternative readiness: Not Ready · limited or unverified
Evidence: Confirmed

Customer Order Processing

High

Customer Order Processing relies on a shared ERP integration service. Recovery of that service may depend on specialist knowledge concentrated in one employee.

Main dependency: ERP Integration Service
Contributing constraint: Concentrated recovery knowledge
Relevant critical dependencies: 6
Alternative readiness: Not Ready · limited or unverified
Evidence: Confirmed

Supplier Replenishment

Insufficient Evidence

Relies on high priority shared dependency: Inventory Availability Data. Relies on high priority shared dependency: Stock Replenishment Workflow

Main dependency: Inventory Availability Data
Contributing constraint: Primary Inventory Supplier: Covers 40% of normal requirement, so it cannot maintain normal operations alone.
Relevant critical dependencies: 4
Alternative readiness: Unknown · limited or unverified
Evidence: Needs review

Customer Delivery Coordination

Moderate

No material constraint recorded.

Main dependency: Customer Relationship Management System
Contributing constraint: Customer Relationship Management System: Covers 60% of normal requirement, so it cannot maintain normal operations alone.
Relevant critical dependencies: 1
Alternative readiness: Partially Ready · limited or unverified
Evidence: Confirmed
