The framework

Events across five domains, analyzed as a system.

PRISM examines a strategy through five lenses at once, and models how shocks cascade across domains and through company operations.

01

Physical

Energy · Materials · Climate

Energy supply, raw materials, water, and the impact of a warming climate on your operations.

The hard constraints. We assess exposure to energy-supply shifts, critical-mineral dependencies, water availability, and the physical risks of a warming climate.

  • Energy supply constraints
  • Raw material dependencies
  • Physical climate risk to operations
  • Water scarcity exposure
02

Structural

Geopolitics · Regulation

Geopolitical fragmentation, regulatory sovereignty, and the trading blocs your operations sit between.

The rules of the game. We map regulatory exposure across jurisdictions, dependence on specific trade routes, and the resilience of regional operations under fragmentation scenarios.

  • Geopolitical fragmentation
  • Regulatory sovereignty
  • Trade bloc dependencies
  • Economic resilience
03

Technological

Cyber · Tech sovereignty

Cyber resilience, technology sovereignty, and how much of your business can run when the stack fails.

The tech substrate. We assess cyber resilience, software and hardware dependencies, and the operational continuity available when systems are degraded.

  • Cyber resilience
  • Technology sovereignty
  • Dependency mapping
  • Override capacity
04

Operational

Supply chains · Logistics

Where your supply chain breaks, how long buffers last, and how fast cash dries up under disruption.

The physics of flow. We model supply-chain break-points, inventory and logistics buffers, and the cash-flow profile of the business under sustained disruption.

  • Supply break-point analysis
  • Logistics physics modeling
  • Inventory buffer strategy
  • Cash-flow vulnerability
05

Social

Demographics · Labor · License

Talent availability, consumer shifts, and the social license without which operations cannot continue.

The human layer. We assess talent and demographic constraints, shifts in consumer preferences, and the social license that determines whether operations can continue at all.

  • Workforce & talent scarcity
  • Consumer preference shifts
  • Social license to operate
  • Inequality-driven instability
Applied together

A single shock cascades. We model the full chain.

A tariff shock is rarely just a structural event. It cascades into operational stress, social backlash, and physical supply constraints within weeks. PRISM models the full cascade rather than each domain in isolation.
