Diligence questions

  1. The dataset records 2 tracked suppliers for Rapidus. 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. 1 of Rapidus's tracked suppliers are a monopoly or leader (including ASML). Which of those are actually single-source for the process step you care about?
  3. The dataset names 6 tracked customers for Rapidus. How concentrated is demand among those names, and which of them have a documented second source in this graph?
  4. Rapidus is headquartered in Japan. What jurisdiction, export-control or logistics risk sits at that HQ, versus at the fabs or plants the filings actually name?
  5. Rapidus is private in this dataset (no ticker). What primary-source filings or audited statements exist, and what is still only a one-liner?
  6. Before treating any edge as a verified relationship, check the provenance labels on the company page and the method note at /methodology.
