Why choose Six8?

Most supply chain risk tools tell you a supplier is “high risk. “That doesn’t help you make a decision — it just adds to your list of concerns.

Six8 is built differently. We focus on impact, not just risk. Instead of a risk label, you get a specific, actionable narrative: what’s happening, where in your supply chain it’s happening, and what it means for your production. That’s the information your program managers, purchasing teams, and design engineers actually need to act.

Not this: “ABC Semiconductor is a High Geopolitical Risk.“

This: “ABC Semiconductor’s third-party fabricator is at risk of slowing production due to a helium shortage caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz — affecting lead times on[component] within 60–90 days. “

We trace risk through the full performer chain — the OEMs, design partners, fabricators, and upstream suppliers that make up your real supply chain — and we tell you exactly where the exposure is and what to do about it.

Performer-Based Impact Assessments

Modern supply chains don’t stop at the OEM. The components in your bill of materials pass through design partners, fabrication facilities, and layers of upstream suppliers before they reach you — and risk lives at every tier, not just the one with the recognizable name.

Six8 maps the full performer chain behind each component and assesses impact at every role. A design partner with foreign ownership, a fabricator dependent on a single raw material source, an upstream supplier in a sanctioned region — these are the exposures that traditional risk tools miss because they don’t look past the part number.

We identify what’s at risk, where it sits in your supply chain, and what it means for your program — so your teams can act on it.

Design Partners — third-party firms involved incomponent design and IP

Fabrication Partners — fabs and foundries producing thephysical component

Upstream Partners — raw material suppliers, wafer providers, equipment manufacturers,
and other tier-deep performers

What is the cost of not investing in supply chain risk management?

Delaying investment in risk management is a gamble that carries an increasingly heavy price tag. In an era of accelerating volatility, the true value of supply chain resilience goes beyond mere cost avoidance; it is a strategic asset. By proactively mitigating risk, you don’t just protect the bottom line—you safeguard market share, secure customer loyalty, and fortify your brand reputation. While reactive firms bet against the odds, resilient organizations turn uncertainty into a competitive advantage.
