Semiconductor Supply-Chain Risk Assessment
Dependency-level assessment of silicon and compute supply — single points of failure, export-control exposure, and disruption playbooks — priced to the systems and the organization that owns them.
Operational Friction & Multipolar Mandate
Why traditional ad-hoc approaches fail at scale, and the precision protocol deployed to resolve it.
Why this engagement exists
Leaders inherit static vendor maps while the industrial base restructures underneath them. Export-control regimes shift, single-source dependencies deepen, and disruption decisions get made on intuition because nobody has a dependency-level picture of the silicon and compute supply — or of the organization that owns those dependencies.
- ✕Vendor maps are static documents that nobody trusts for a real decision.
- ✕Export-control changes land as surprises instead of planned responses.
- ✕Single points of failure in fabs, packaging, or compute are known anecdotally but never quantified.
- ✕Disruption planning stops at a risk register with no playable response.
Engineered scope & execution
We map silicon and compute dependencies on SiliconAIR hardware units and a GENOMIA picture of the organization that owns them. The output is a dependency map, an export-control and geopolitical exposure assessment, dual-source priorities, and disruption playbooks — not a risk register. SiliconAIR prices to the systems; GENOMIA prices to the organization; neither is flattened into the other.
- ✓System and organization scoping (hardware units + GENOMIA band)
- ✓Silicon and compute dependency mapping: fabs, packaging, tools, compute
- ✓Export-control and geopolitical exposure assessment
- ✓Single-point-of-failure analysis across the supply graph
- ✓Dual-source priorities and disruption playbooks leadership can run
What You Take Away
Every deliverable is named, structured, and tied to an immutable operational outcome. Nothing ships as a slide deck with no longevity.
Silicon and compute dependency map
Fabs, packaging, EDA tools, compute supply, and the organizational nodes that own each dependency — mapped at dependency level, not vendor level.
You see the actual structure of your silicon and compute supply, including the dependencies you did not know you had.
Export-control and geopolitical exposure assessment
Where the supply graph intersects export-control regimes and geopolitical risk, with exposure quantified per dependency.
Regime changes and geopolitical events become planned responses instead of emergencies.
Dual-source and investment priorities
Which single points of failure to dual-source or invest against first, sequenced by exposure and cost.
Capital goes to the dependencies that actually reduce risk, in a defensible order.
Disruption playbooks
Playable response sequences for the disruption scenarios that matter to you — not a risk register entry.
When a disruption hits, leadership runs a rehearsed response instead of convening a crisis meeting.
How This Engagement Runs
Structured gates from initial telemetry and baseline ingestion to verified exit capabilities.
Name the systems and the org
Hardware-trust units cover the systems in scope; a GENOMIA size × complexity band covers the organization that owns them. Both scale; neither is flattened.
Map dependencies
Fabs, packaging, tools, compute, and the organizational nodes that own them are mapped into a dependency graph with ownership and criticality.
Test exposure
Export control, geopolitical shock, and single points of failure are tested against the graph. Exposure is quantified per dependency.
Write the playbooks
Dual-source priorities and disruption options become playbooks leadership can actually run, closed with a readout and handoff.
Interactive Pricing Studio & Scope Engine
Our pricing is engineered, not asserted. Configure your organization profile and estate parameters to see the exact real-time cost breakdown.
Configure Your Parameters
The fee moves on three objective multipliers—Sensitivity, Involvement, and Org Type. Each factor reflects real operational handling and operator time.
Sensitivity
×0.90 – ×1.30 on the engagement feeSensitivity sets the handling envelope around the whole engagement: how data moves, where evidence lives, who can touch it, and what containment we must maintain. Higher sensitivity means cleared handling, segregated evidence, and slower, more deliberate operations — real cost that a flat fee would hide.
Involvement
×0.85 – ×1.35 on the engagement feeInvolvement is how much Multipolar operator time is on the hook. Counsel at checkpoints is a different commitment than embedded delivery inside your team, your systems, and your cadence. The multiplier tracks senior hours actually committed — not a markup.
Organization type
×0.85 – ×1.25 on the engagement feeThe same technical work lands differently depending on who is buying it. Federal and defense engagements carry procurement, compliance, security review, and stakeholder alignment that a mid-market engagement does not. The multiplier prices the coordination and accountability surface, not the analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Specific intelligence regarding security clearance, deliverable ownership, platform telemetry, and execution cadence.
No. It is a dependency-level map with export-control and geopolitical exposure quantified, plus disruption playbooks. Vendor lists are inputs; the dependency graph and the responses are the product.
