Vendors, sourcing & build-vs-buy
Lifecycle NPV across build, buy and partner — and whether an exit from a vendor is executable.
6 of 388 tools.
Audit vendor lock in exposure
Audit whether every vendor-dependent business capability has a complete, scenario-executable exit portfolio; solve minimum-loss set cover exactly inside a governed state boundary, disclose heuristic fallback, and report infeasible-exit probability, expected loss, CVaR, lead time, and value concentration without converting vendor exposure into misconduct evidence.
Calculate build buy partner npv
Compare build, buy, and partner lifecycle NPV under coherent joint scenarios, explicit strategic option and switching value, downside CVaR, and governed value gates.
Estimate platform network option value
Value when to activate a shared platform under endogenous network adoption with an exact finite-horizon Markov dynamic program; optimize the invest/wait policy by observed adopter state, compare it with every fixed launch date and never investing, and reconcile option value, investment timing, and adoption quantiles.
Forecast vendor spend at risk
Forecast correlated vendor spend with lognormal marginals, a Gaussian copula, contractual floors and caps, budget-overrun uncertainty, total-spend CVaR, and reconciled vendor tail contributions.
Optimize vendor contract terms
Optimize vendor contract terms across coherent usage, service-credit, exit, and fallback-price scenarios using exact option evaluation, CVaR, Pareto screening, and total-variation probability robustness.
Value architecture migration option
Value an irreversible architecture migration as a finite-horizon, signal-contingent optimal-stopping policy that cannot see future information; compare its expected and tail cost with never migrating, every fixed migration date, and a perfect-information ceiling, then expose the option value of waiting for real evidence.
