Boutique investor supply chain diligence

Dependency mapping with alternatives by layer.

In 60 Seconds

  • Team: Private equity due diligence team.
  • Need: Verify single-source dependencies in a target manufacturer.
  • Solution: Import data analysis + supplier web scanning.
  • Outcome: Identified a critical single point of failure before close.

1. The Client

A boutique PE firm looking at a mid-market electronics manufacturer. The target claimed a diversified supply chain.

2. The Problem

Trust but verify. The target company provided a vendor list, but not the vendors' vendors (Tier 2). The investor needed to know if the "diversified" suppliers all relied on the same upstream component maker in a geopolitically sensitive region.

3. How Radiant Helps

  • Ingestion of bill-of-lading and trade data.
  • Web scanning of supplier certificates and partnerships.
  • Mapping of shared upstream location risks.
  • Identification of alternative sourcing hubs.
