Energy Stress-Test Calculator

Model the impact of oil price scenarios on operating margins, debt service capacity, and covenant compliance. Enter your organization's cost profile and run all four scenarios simultaneously.

Base $80
Stress $100
Severe $120
Extreme $150
Organization Cost Profile
Annual Revenue ($M) 500
Energy as % of COGS 18%
Logistics as % of Revenue 8%
Current EBITDA Margin 22%
Net Debt / EBITDA 4.5x
Covenant Threshold (Min EBITDA Margin) 12%

Organizations with energy exposure above 20% of COGS are in the acute stress zone at $120/bbl. Most frameworks were calibrated for $70–80/bbl environments.

Supply Chain Vulnerability Matrix

Score your supply chain across four critical dimensions. The matrix distinguishes between efficient supply chains and resilient ones — in the current environment, those are opposites.

Score Each Dimension — 1 (Resilient) to 10 (Vulnerable)
Geographic Concentration5
1 = Fully diversified globally · 10 = Single country dependency
Transit Route Dependency5
1 = Multiple redundant routes · 10 = Single chokepoint dependency
Supplier Tier Visibility5
1 = Full Tier 1–3 mapping · 10 = Tier 1 only visibility
Inventory Buffer Depth5
1 = 90+ day strategic buffer · 10 = Pure just-in-time
Composite Vulnerability Score
5.0
Out of 10.0 — Higher = More Vulnerable
Moderate Vulnerability
Supply chain carries meaningful concentration risk. Post-COVID improvements likely made, but transit route dependency may be unaddressed.

Regime Change Readiness Index

The meta-assessment. Evaluates whether your organization's risk governance architecture is built for a stable world or a multipolar one. Most firms will score poorly. That is precisely the point.

Black Swan Probability Calibrator

Recalibrate what your organization is treating as a tail scenario versus what should now be a base-case planning input. Compare historical market probability assessments with current evidence-adjusted estimates.

The Hormuz closure would have scored below 5% probability six months ago in most organizational risk registers. It is now reality. This tool asks: what else on your tail list is actually a near-term planning input?
