Diligence questions
- The dataset records 3 tracked suppliers for Zhaoxin. Which of those edges are researched (named in a filing or primary source) versus segment-inferred, and what happens if one of them stops shipping?
- The dataset names 1 tracked customer for Zhaoxin. How concentrated is demand among those names, and which of them have a documented second source in this graph?
- Zhaoxin is headquartered in China. What jurisdiction, export-control or logistics risk sits at that HQ, versus at the fabs or plants the filings actually name?

- Before treating any edge as a verified relationship, check the provenance labels on the company page and the method note at /methodology.
