Risk level guidance

High Risk: Concentrate on diversification and cost visibility immediately. Exposure to single-supplier leverage or hidden costs.

Moderate: Improve negotiation cadence and refine payment terms. You have foundation; now optimize.

Optimized: Focus on velocity and supplier collaboration. Cost is competitive; now accelerate delivery and innovation.
