Traceability Fragmentation & Provenance Risk
Structural assessment of tracking granularity. Measures 'Provenance Risk'—the likelihood of supply chain exclusion or seizure due to the inability to prove the origin and custody of an item.
Scoring Scale (0-5)
-
0Hyper-Granular / Immutable
End-to-end, item-level serialization (RFID/IoT) with blockchain-verified custody; real-time provenance at any node.
-
1Continuous Digital Path
Integrated digital tracking across all primary and secondary nodes; frequent 'Check-ins' but lacks full item-level unique identity.
-
2Lot-Level Visibility
Standard ERP-based tracking; identifies specific production runs; sufficient for standard commercial recalls but lacks real-time location.
-
3Batch-Level / Paper-Heavy
Tracking is non-digital or fragmented; relies on aggregated shipping documents; high risk of 'Blind Spots' during multi-modal transit.
-
4Anonymized / Commingled
Items from multiple origins are mixed at the source (e.g., bulk commodities); origin is verified only by 'Mass-Balance' certificates; high risk of 'Fraudulent Substitution'.
-
5Total Anonymity / Dark Flow
No digital or physical trail; provenance is unverifiable; 'Blind' trade where the true origin or labor/carbon inputs are structurally hidden.
