Value-chain map.
Before you choose targets, see the whole market. We map the value chain on your categories, place the companies in each stage and show where supply is deep, thin or missing, with every finding traced to its source.
- Who it is for
- Governments, economic development agencies, advisory firms and companies entering a region or sector.
- What you get
- A value-chain map, the companies in each stage and a view of the gaps, with the sources behind every finding.
- Format
- Spreadsheet and document; slides on request.
- Scope and timing
- Scope, formats and delivery dates agreed before work starts.
- What you provide
- The sector or region, the categories you use for it, any company list you already hold, and a contact on your team to agree the scope with us and answer questions while the work runs.
- Refresh
- On your calendar, or when contracts, capital or policy shift.
Each stage of the value chain sits on one row: how deep local supply is, which companies could enter it and how confident we are. Where the evidence is thin, the row stays flagged.
| Stage | Local supply | Could enter | Gap | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Precision machining | Deep | Several firms | None | Confidence · high |
| Composite structures | Thin | A few firms | One qualified supplier | Confidence · medium |
| Maintenance and repair | Open | Two candidates to visit | No local capability | Confidence · medium |

- A reviewed answer with a point of view: a ranked shortlist, a brief or a benchmark.
- The evidence
