Industry maps: from relationships to risk evidence
Industry maps trace dependencies and risk transmission, not automatic beneficiaries. A relationship needs direction, the product or service, dated evidence and explicit unknowns about scale or continuity. More edges do not necessarily mean better research.
Separate categories from named relationships
Upstream categories may include wafers, memory, power or logistics; named suppliers need filings or company evidence. End users, distributors and paying customers can differ and must not be double-counted. Public summaries show categories; Pro graphs retain detailed evidence.
Keep scenarios separate from facts
A packaging bottleneck could delay systems and then customer deployment. This is a scenario to test, not a direct revenue-loss estimate. Check substitutes, inventory, contract terms and deliveries. Partnerships or purchase intentions are not recognized revenue.
Reading checklist
| What to check | How to interpret it |
|---|---|
| Evidence | Cite sources and sections; distinguish delivery, plans and history. |
| Dates | Access dates cannot replace publication dates or reporting periods. |
| Unknowns | Leave undisclosed shares, exclusivity and renewals unknown. |
Limits & counterexamples
Maps are not complete bills of materials or customer lists. Relationships can end; anonymous customers cannot be reliably reverse-identified. Common industry lists are not proof of a relationship.
