A supplier risk mapping tool adapted from defense procurement second-source analysis, applied to German auto Tier-2 buyers choosing solid-state separator film and electrolyte suppliers.
AI Thinking Process
Scale Shift engine: defense second-source supplier mapping (Janes, Govini, Palantir — $1M+ ACVs) scaled to German auto Tier-2 buyers for solid-state separator film and electrolyte. B2B Scale Shift test number 7.
Resilinc ($100M+, has auto vertical), Everstream Analytics ($120M, auto supply chain specifically), Z2Data. All serve auto Tier-2 at $60-200k/yr.
WHO FAILS: German auto Tier-2 at $10-50M revenue cannot afford incumbent pricing and cannot justify a new $30k+ tool for 2-3 suppliers. Total addressable buying pool is too small.
Resilinc, Everstream, and Z2Data cover auto supply chain risk. Mid-market Tier-2 cannot afford incumbents and cannot justify new spend. Scale shift fails when buyer cost ceiling is too low. B2B Scale Shift test 7 = negative result.
Kill Reason
Resilinc, Everstream Analytics, and Z2Data already serve auto supply chain risk at Tier-1 and Tier-2 level. German Tier-2 buyers at $10-50M revenue cannot afford incumbent pricing at $60-200k/yr and cannot justify a new $30k+ tool for 2-3 suppliers only. The scale shift from defense pricing collapses on buyer budget ceiling.
