Scenarios in energy & utilities
Document-level examples buyers in this industry run through Supplier Risk.

Score continuously
Recompute risk score from open signal severity (with time decay), on-time delivery, quality, category concentration, and country adjustments.
- 3
Map exposure
Attach each supplier to spend, contracts, invoices on hold, and open PO lines so incidents show business impact immediately.
- 4
Recommend mitigations
Generate actionable steps — incident reports, backup sourcing, portal suspension — based on signal type and exposure.
- 5
Track through closure
Move signals from open to mitigating to closed; block or reactivate suppliers with logged reasons.
