Industry Archetype
Heavy Industrial & Extraction
Industries characterised by large physical assets, capital-intensive operations, and complex supply chains with strict specification requirements. Includes mining, most manufacturing, and construction. The largest archetype by count — 42 of 123 analysed industries are IND.
Risk Profile
IND industries are defined by capital intensity and physical supply chain specification rigidity. Asset Rigidity (ER03) and Technical Specification Rigidity (SC01) are the dominant risk signals. Market Dynamics (MD) scores vary considerably within IND — a food processor and a steel mill are both IND but have very different MD profiles. When reviewing an IND industry, focus on ER and SC deviations from the baseline; MD deviation is expected and not a primary concern.
Structural Insight
Capital intensity compounds regulatory pressure: heavy physical assets attract regulatory scrutiny (ER08 and RP01 co-move at r=0.55 in the dataset). IND industries with both high ER and high RP scores face a structural double lock — high capital barriers AND high regulatory barriers limit strategic flexibility.
Pillar Baselines
Scores 0–5. Darker bars = primary signal pillars for this archetype. Dataset mean: 2.90 across all 129 industries.
Key Risk Amplifiers
Attributes in the primary signal pillars that most strongly predict overall industry risk elevation across the full dataset.
Pearson r = correlation with overall industry risk score across 123 analysed industries. Tier 1 (r ≥ 0.50) attributes are the strongest structural predictors.
