Reshoring & Tariff Strategy worked example

Sourcing Risk Weighted Score with sourcing risk weighted severity score of 3 score: a worked example

Here is what the math looks like when conditions slip. We hold every other input steady and drop sourcing risk weighted severity score to 3 score, then walk the calculation through step by step. Estimate sourcing risk weighted for reshoring and tariff strategy using production-ready inputs so teams can rank risks and decide which issue needs containment, controls, or escalation first.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Sourcing risk weighted severity score: 3 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 6)
  • Sourcing risk weighted occurrence score: 4 score (held at the documented default)
  • Sourcing risk weighted detection score: 3 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Sourcing risk weighted risk score = sourcing risk weighted severity score × sourcing risk weighted occurrence score × sourcing risk weighted detection score.
  • Sourcing risk weighted risk score works out to 3.35 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Sourcing risk weighted severity score works out to 3 score at these inputs.
  • Sourcing risk weighted occurrence score works out to 4 score at these inputs.
  • Sourcing risk weighted detection score works out to 3 score at these inputs.

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 26.37% below the baseline at 3.35 score.
  • The practical read: the gap between this scenario and the baseline is entirely attributable to sourcing risk weighted severity score, so recovering it is worth quantifying in dollars before considering equipment or staffing changes. It assumes all three factors are equally weighted and rated on a consistent scale; a multiplicative score can hide a single catastrophic severity behind low occurrence and detection.
