Batteries (Li-ion) & Energy Storage carries a process risk of 77.3 out of 100 — the high band, and rank 4 of 33 sectors in the Tieron reference catalog. That figure is independent of location: it is what the work itself carries. Where you buy then moves the baseline from 44.3 in Denmark to 78.6 in Russia. Every figure below shows its weight and its source.
Sector process risk, 0–100, before location. Sector risk: 77.3.

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). Two batteries (li-ion) & energy storage suppliers in the same country start from the number above and end up far apart. Impact — spend, substitution difficulty, continuity criticality — needs your own ledger.
Process risk, highest first — independent of where you buy.
