Supply Chain Shock Simulation Engine (Subscription Service + Custom Reports)

A boutique consulting service that runs bespoke network disruption simulations on client-provided trade data (bilateral flows, inventory levels, transport routes, supplier lists). Analysts model 3–5 disruption scenarios per engagement (port closure, sanctions, supplier bankruptcy, demand shock) and deliver interactive dashboards showing cascade effects, inventory depletion timelines, and alternative routing costs. No off-the-shelf software; built on client data and domain expertise.

SERVICE

26 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Proprietary, defensible analysis tied to client's actual suppliers and routes—not generic benchmarks. Faster than building internal models, cheaper than $500k+ enterprise software licenses, and delivers actionable routing/hedging decisions within 2–4 weeks instead of months.

Target Audience

Fortune 500 supply chain directors, energy traders, procurement heads at multinationals, policy analysts at development banks and trade ministries

Key Features

  • Bilateral trade flow mapping from client ERP/procurement data
  • Inventory depletion simulation under 5–10 disruption scenarios
  • Secondary-market shock propagation (e.g., port closure → regional price spike → demand destruction in adjacent markets)
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Python (networkx for graph modeling, pandas for data wrangling) PostgreSQL (client data storage, scenario versioning) Tableau or Plotly (dashboard layer) AWS EC2 (simulation compute, on-demand scaling)

Original Problem

Supply chain professionals cannot visualize and predict cascading disruption effects across global trade networks

Supply chain managers, energy traders, and policy analysts lack accessible tools to model how localized disruptions (port closures, geopolitical events, sanctions) propagate through interconnected global networks and create secondary shocks in seemingly unaffected regions. Current solutions either oversimplify network effects or require expensive proprietary modeling software that doesn't capture bilateral trade dynamics and reserve depletion mechanics.
