VENDELA S.A. Supplier Dependency and Relationship Profile
A due diligence review of the available trade record finds that VENDELA S.A. has a material but moderate dependency on NORTH TRADING. The remaining relationship indicators point to a transactional profile rather than a strategic partnership.
Recorded risk snapshot
The available metrics are shown below as supplied, without additional calculation.
| Indicator | Recorded value | Risk reading |
|---|---|---|
| Dependency on NORTH TRADING | 35.37% | Material concentration; not below the 30% threshold for a clearly diversified profile, and not above the 80% severe single-point-of-failure threshold used in this brief. |
| Cooperation label | Trial | Supplied classification label; not an elapsed-time measure and not evidence of an established long-term relationship. |
| Loyalty score | 0.00 | No observed loyalty in the supplied score. The scoring scale is not documented, so this should not be rewritten as a percentage, rating, or credit grade. |
What the dependency figure says
NORTH TRADING accounts for 35.37% of the dependency measure supplied for VENDELA S.A. That is a significant single-supplier exposure: more than one-third of the covered dependency is concentrated in one counterparty. However, the figure does not reach the 80% threshold used in this brief for a severe single point of failure. It also does not drop below the 30% level that would support a comfortable diversification claim.
This is best read as a warning to monitor concentration, not as evidence that VENDELA S.A.’s supply chain would immediately collapse if NORTH TRADING stopped producing. The available record does not show whether this share is rising, falling, or stable over time.
Relationship classification
Based on the supplied indicators, this is not a strategic partnership under the available evidence. The cooperation label is Trial, and the loyalty score is 0.00. Together, these signals are more consistent with a transactional relationship: the record does not show an established, high-loyalty linkage between VENDELA S.A. and NORTH TRADING.
The label Trial is a classification in the available input, not a duration measurement. It should not be converted into months, years, or an assumed partnership history. Likewise, the 0.00 score indicates no observed loyalty in the covered record, but the absence of a documented scale limits deeper interpretation.
What to verify next
- Confirm the denominator and time window behind the 35.37% dependency figure.
- Ask NORTH TRADING for capacity, backup production options, lead times, and any existing service-level commitments.
- Clarify what Trial means in the counterparty classification system and whether any formal supply agreement exists.
- Understand the loyalty scoring method before treating the 0.00 score as a full picture of supplier behavior.
- Reassess concentration after any shift to a second supplier or change in order volume.
