Reshoring & Tariff Strategy worked example

Sourcing Risk Weighted Score with sourcing risk weighted severity score of 15 score: a worked example

This scenario runs the sourcing risk weighted score calculation on the strong side: sourcing risk weighted severity score of 15 score, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when sourcing risk weighted in reshoring and tariff strategy needs a defensible ranking against other reshoring and tariff strategy risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Sourcing risk weighted severity score: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Sourcing risk weighted occurrence score: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Sourcing risk weighted detection score: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Sourcing risk weighted risk score = sourcing risk weighted severity score × sourcing risk weighted occurrence score × sourcing risk weighted detection score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8.15 score for sourcing risk weighted risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 15 score for sourcing risk weighted severity score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for sourcing risk weighted occurrence score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3 score for sourcing risk weighted detection score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where sourcing risk weighted severity score sits at 6 score and the headline result is 4.55 score, this scenario comes in 79.12% above the baseline at 8.15 score.
  • Use it during supplier selection, dual-sourcing decisions, or a tariff-driven re-sourcing review to prioritize which risks get mitigation budget. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
