Diligence questions

  1. The dataset records 3 tracked suppliers for HiSilicon. Which of those edges are researched (named in a filing or primary source) versus segment-inferred, and what happens if one of them stops shipping?
  2. The dataset names 1 tracked customer for HiSilicon. How concentrated is demand among those names, and which of them have a documented second source in this graph?
  3. HiSilicon is headquartered in China. What jurisdiction, export-control or logistics risk sits at that HQ, versus at the fabs or plants the filings actually name?
  4. HiSilicon is private in this dataset (no ticker). What primary-source filings or audited statements exist, and what is still only a one-liner?
  5. Before treating any edge as a verified relationship, check the provenance labels on the company page and the method note at /methodology.
