Chokepoints

Where the indexed supply for a capability, a material or a certification sits in very few places. Measured over the manufacturers BOMForge has indexed, published as shares and bands.

Computed over the manufacturers BOMForge has indexed. Shares and bands only, never a count.

A reading is only published when enough suppliers are indexed to make it, and when the leading state's share is not simply an artefact of how those suppliers were listed. Readings that fail either test are left off this page.
