A supplier in this country and this sector starts from a baseline risk of 40.5 out of 100 before anything specific to that company is known — the moderate band, and rank 1431 of 1650 country-sector combinations in the Tieron reference catalog. Japan ranks 41 of 50 countries on composite country risk; Medical Devices ranks 25 of 33 sectors on process risk. Every figure below shows its weight and its source.
Four published indices, normalized to 0–100 risk and combined with the weights the catalog was generated with. Composite: 27.6.
| Factor | Published value | Risk | Weight | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Labour rights violation | ITUC rating 2 (1 best – 5+ worst) | 25.0 | 0.35 | ITUC Global Rights Index 2025 |
| Public-sector corruption | CPI 71 of 100 (higher = cleaner) | 29.0 | 0.25 | Transparency International CPI 2024 |
| Environmental performance | EPI 61.4 of 100 (higher = better) | 38.6 | 0.20 | Yale EPI 2024 |
| Rule of law | WGI 1.54 (−2.5 … 2.5) | 19.2 | 0.20 | World Bank WGI 2023 |
What the process itself carries, independent of where it runs. Sector score: 53.5. Japanese label: 医療機器.
| Sub-factor | Score | Relative |
|---|---|---|
| Process hazard | 55.0 | |
| Labour intensity & informality | 55.0 | |
| Environmental load | 60.0 | |
| Upstream depth (tiers below) | 25.0 | |
| Regulatory exposure | 75.0 |
Site-level continuity risk, 0–10. These layers do not enter the baseline score above; they enter a supplier’s score once you give the site a location.
| Layer | Value (0–10) | Relative |
|---|---|---|
| INFORM Risk (overall) | 2.3 | |
| Natural hazard | 8.3 | |
| Earthquake | 9.7 | |
| Flood | 7.8 | |
| Cyclone | 9.2 | |
| Drought | 0.4 |
Country and sector are 50% of Tieron’s risk axis by weight — the half that is knowable from public data alone. The rest is supplier-specific: conflict minerals exposure (weight 0.10), incident history (0.10) and information opacity (0.10). Impact — spend, substitution difficulty, continuity criticality — needs your own ledger. Upload a supplier list and those factors resolve per company, with the same provenance shown here.
