Benchmark against your sector · Free & open · 10 minutes
A vendor-neutral, open-reference diagnostic. 30 indicators across 6 dimensions. Receive a benchmarked maturity score, financial impact estimate, national policy alignment flags, and a prioritized roadmap.
No consultants required. No software to install. Complete the assessment in a browser on any device.
The SCRD maps your supply chain gaps directly to current federal programs, executive orders, and published policy analysis — giving your improvement roadmap federal relevance regardless of your sector.
The same 30 indicators. Four different reasons to use them.
Each dimension addresses a distinct layer of supply chain resilience — from where you source, to whether your people could sustain operations if a key person left tomorrow.
The SCRD is vendor-neutral and freely adoptable. MEP centers, industry associations, state economic development offices, and educational institutions may use this methodology at no cost with attribution.

Aligned with Project Vault (EXIM, Feb 2026), Project SURGE (RealClearEnergy, Apr 2026), EO 14272, EO 14257, EO 14220, EO 14154, Quadrennial Review 2024, DHS SCRC, and NIST CSF 2.0.
Sector average benchmarks are calibrated estimates informed by published industry research (Accenture 2023, McKinsey/WEF 2025, MHI/Deloitte 2025, Gartner 2024). They are directional positioning tools, not statistically validated sector norms. No published study uses the SCRD's specific 0–100 maturity scale. The Sectoral Intelligence Repository will replace these with verified participant data as submissions accumulate.
When you use the email results feature or the MEP contact form, we collect your email address. When you contribute to the Sectoral Intelligence Repository, we collect your anonymized assessment scores, sector, sub-sector, and organization type. We do not collect personally identifiable information through the assessment itself.
Email addresses are used only to send the requested results or documentation. They are not added to any mailing list or shared with third parties. Repository contributions are used solely to improve sector benchmark accuracy — no individual organization's data is ever published.
