Key points
- Identified and harmonized 139 distinct mitigation actions for critical raw material supply risks.
- Developed a dependency matrix encoding 278 relationships between these actions.
- Introduced a five-stage decision funnel to filter actions based on actor-specific boundaries and readiness.
- Demonstrated that optimal mitigation strategies are actor- and context-dependent, not universal.

Abstract
This repository includes the python and data files published together with the article "Bridging Criticality Assessment and Supply Chain Resilience: A Structured Framework for Operationalizing Mitigation Actions" Abstract: Critical raw materials underpin the energy transition, defense, and digitalization, yet criticality assessments remain diagnostic: they quantify supply risk and vulnerability without prescribing how to act. This gap is addressed through a structured review, from which 139 mitigation actions across mechanisms, capability types, and disruption pathway categories were compiled, harmonized, and classified. A dependency matrix encodes 278 relationships between actions. To operationalize the resulting catalog, a five-stage decision funnel is introduced to filter it by actor-specific structural boundaries and operational readiness. The application to vehicle electronics shows that no single action is universally optimal, and suitability depends on the actor, temporal horizon, degree of control, and disruption profile. By making actor-specific feasibility and inter-action dependencies explicit, the framework enables companies and countries to assemble coherent mitigation portfolios rather than deploying isolated actions whose prerequisites, amplifications, or contradictions remain unexamined.
