Structural Inventory Inertia
Structural assessment of holding complexity. Measures the 'Maintenance Burden' and decay risk of stationary stock.
Structural Inventory Inertia has a meaningful correlation with overall industry risk (r = 0.44). Elevated scores on this attribute frequently accompany broader structural risk patterns.
Scoring Scale (0-5)
-
0Inert / Indefinite
Zero physical or digital decay; no energy input required. Lowest holding risk (e.g., raw stone).
-
1Ambient Stable
Requires shelter from elements but no active climate control. Low volumetric cost.
-
2Climate Monitored
Requires basic stability (ventilation) to prevent slow degradation. Moderate administrative risk.
-
3Active Environment
Requires constant specialized conditions (e.g., nitrogen blanketing) to prevent immediate value loss.
-
4Cold Chain / High-Friction
Dependent on continuous energy; value decays rapidly upon system failure. High structural fragility.
-
5Ultra-Cold / High-Peril
Requires extreme specialized infrastructure (Cryogenic, Hazardous containment). Highest risk; impossible to stockpile without sovereign-level investment.
Score Distribution
How 129 industries score on this attribute
v2.0 alignment: 5 is highest risk (Maintenance Intensity). Prioritizes 'Energy/Maintenance Burden' as a structural liability.
