Case Study: a leading US think tank gains deeper insight into macro supply chain risks with Adarga

Gaining a deeper understanding of macro supply chain risks

A leading US think tank tasked Adarga with gaining a deeper understanding of macro supply chain risks, specifically the potential for supply interruption in advanced technology sectors due to a breakdown in China-US relations. The challenge was to move beyond traditional qualitative analysis by incorporating the vast amounts of available quantitative data to provide more comprehensive and insightful findings.

Adarga used its Vantage software and a team of in-house experts to augment qualitative research with a data-led methodology. This approach employed models of national influence to map dependencies and vulnerabilities across entire supply chains. The results included identifying critical production bottlenecks in lithium battery supply chains and providing tailored scoring of bilateral trade dependencies. This analysis by Adarga now enables more effective and nuanced policy decisions.
