## Supply Gaps

Products with higher supplier concentration may deserve closer continuity and sourcing review. This is a screening signal, not a recommendation by itself.

## Method

Reported trade observations and calculated indicators are shown separately. Validate suppliers, tariffs, standards, logistics, pricing, and continuity before acting.
