Source: derived from both company records and the counted edges.

Concentration / risk note

Sony Semiconductor Solutions is positioned as a leader in IDM, so this edge is harder to replace than a challenger or niche supplier. Knowles has only 1 tracked supplier in this dataset. Concentration on the supplier side is high. Sony Semiconductor Solutions has only 2 tracked customers in this dataset. Demand-side concentration is high.

Basis: supplier position, few suppliers, few customers. Omitted on edges where the graph does not back a concentration claim.
