Supply Chain & Geopolitical Risk
Anweshna reads supply agreements and sourcing disclosures for export-control exposure and geographic concentration that could disrupt the business post-close.
What it screens for
- Export-control violations — EAR/ITAR issues, including commodity classification and current licence status.
- Single-country sourcing concentration — what share of total inputs comes from one country, most often flagged for China-concentrated supply chains.
- Critical mineral dependency — a named supplier and country the business depends on for a scarce input.
- Export restriction scope — which product lines an existing or pending restriction actually touches.
How this differs from Sanctions & AML
This category deliberately excludes economic sanctions and OFAC/SDN exposure — those are scored under Anti-Bribery, Sanctions & AML instead, which is a blocking category. Supply Chain & Geopolitical stays focused on export controls and sourcing concentration so the two categories don't double-count the same finding under different names.
It carries a 4% weight and doesn't independently block a deal, but concentration and export-control findings here often explain risk that shows up elsewhere in the report, particularly in Operational and Financial.
