Step 01
Define the China-linked exposure case: sector, supply-chain position, and decision context.
About
Clarum.
Clarum is a China-linked exposure engine that turns authoritative data into structured dossiers, linking every claim back to a source and a clear CLX-1 scoring rubric.
Featured dossiers and public evidence are free to browse. Tailored analytics are offered via paid plans.
What it is
A structured risk intelligence system that applies CLX-1 across eight China exposure domains with domain scores, source dates, missingness, confidence, and a traceable evidence ledger.
What it is not
Not a black-box score, not a forecasting oracle, and not a substitute for legal, sanctions, export-control, or procurement counsel.
How it works
The same inputs always yield the same outputs.
Step 02
Map the case across the eight CLX-1 domains.
Step 03
Assign readable 0-100 exposure scores and named bands.
Step 04
Enforce Tier A evidence gates, source dates, and missingness notes.
Step 05
Apply confidence caps where public evidence cannot resolve supplier-level uncertainty.
Step 06
Generate the dossier and memo with audit fields and source links.
Step 07
Publish the repo-owned content bundle for the site to read.
Definitions
Core terms.
CLX-1
Clarum's public methodology for China-linked exposure across eight domains.
Indicator
A measurable or scored signal mapped to the CLX-1 exposure ontology.
Domain
One of eight China exposure groupings: policy, controls, concentration, compliance, logistics, technology, capacity, and financial/reputation exposure.
Evidence record
A cited source entry with URL, date, and notes used to justify indicators.
Tier A/B
Tier A is authoritative; Tier B is a proxy or survey. Tier B is allowed but flagged.
Completeness
Coverage of required indicators.
Confidence
Evidence-backed reliability after gating and penalties.
Profile/Overlay
Weighting rules and adjustments for a sector and supply-chain context.
Limitations
Explicit coverage and posture.
Coverage is explicit
Completeness can be low in early coverage. Gaps are visible and reduce confidence. Decisions still require supplier-level diligence and legal/compliance review.
For strategy and entry teams
Use dossiers to document China-linked dependencies, compare mitigation paths, and align leadership on exposure priorities with a consistent rubric across strategy, procurement, supply-chain risk, and compliance teams.
