Outside-in readiness estimate
XTRIUM Defense Materials Readiness Index
Outside-in estimates of how prepared major defense suppliers appear to be to identify, reduce, and monitor critical-material supply-chain risk. Based on publicly available information — 10-Ks, DPA Title III awards, USGS critical-materials data, public press releases.
Scores are outside-in estimates based on publicly available information and do not represent a formal determination of compliance. Actual readiness may differ based on internal supplier, program, bill-of-material, qualification, and mitigation data. Companies may submit verified information to update their profile.

Methodology: outside-in composite of Material Traceability, Supplier Illumination, Foreign & Geographic Exposure, Alternative-Source Readiness, and Monitoring & Mitigation. Scores draw on public disclosures (10-K, press releases, DPA Title III awards, USGS critical-materials data). This is a directional public assessment — not an audit, not a formal determination of compliance.
