SUPPLY CHAIN RISK

Quantify the financial impact of supply shocks before they hit

Most risk models treat supply chain disruptions as single shocks in isolation. Macrocosm simulates shocks as cascading ripples through the supply network. Our simulator tracks how disruptions propagate week by week so you can see not just what gets disrupted, but when, by how much, and why.

KEY CAPABILITIES

01

Model a global shock

Feed in a shock — an earthquake, a pandemic, a tariff — and see how the impact travels along the supply chain week by week, from the point of disruption outward.

02

Quantify financial impact

Get output loss estimates at firm, sector, country, or regional granularity. This includes the second- and third-order effects that equilibrium models are structurally unable to see, calibrated against real disruption events and validated on observed data.

03

Discover hidden exposure

Find vulnerable firms and sectors sitting in the cascade path. The firms hit hardest by a shock are often several links removed from it. We determine exposure from network position rather than proximity.

04

Measure timing & recovery

Anticipate impacts before they strike. The model runs at weekly granularity to show when the cascade reaches each sector, when losses peak, and how long the recovery tail extends. 


KEY CAPABILITIES

01

Generate forecasts for GDP, inflation, employment, and financial stability using bottom-up simulation of firm and household behaviour — not statistical extrapolation from historical patterns. Forecasts reflect structural dynamics, not just momentum.

Forecast key macro indicators from behavioral first principles

02

Capture how economies respond to shocks in ways that aggregate models cannot — including tipping points, amplification effects, and recovery paths that diverge from historical precedent. Particularly relevant for scenarios with no close historical analog.

Model non-linear responses to shocks

03

Simulate how workers move — or can't — between occupations given real skills proximity, geographic constraints, and labour market structure. Surface which groups are least able to adapt, not just which industries are declining.

Model occupational mobility and labour market transitions

04

Ground macroeconomic forecasts in the sectoral and firm-level dynamics that produce them — linking output, employment, and price forecasts to the industries, balance sheet conditions, and workforce transitions that drive aggregate outcomes.

Connect macro outcomes to sectoral and labour dynamics
