Lay out every place too much rides on one source, in money and in what makes the work possible, ranked by damage, so you know exactly where a single loss would hurt.
First in Reduce the Concentrations That Could Sink You.
If your fundraising or grants work already produced these numbers, bring them here rather than recalculating.
The worry line: a single source above about a fifth of everything, or a top three above about a third, is a dangerous concentration.
Beyond money, the single suppliers, partners, or providers the work could not continue without.
| What you depend on | The single source | How badly its loss would hurt (low / medium / high) | Could it be replaced quickly? |
|---|---|---|---|
| A key supplier or vendor | |||
| A partner or referral source | |||
| Your building or location | |||
| Other single point |
Your ranked list is your work list. The concentrations marked high, in money or otherwise, are where a single loss could sink you, and they are where the next steps, reducing and buffering, go first. A number you have been avoiding, like the share your largest funder really is, belongs here in the open. Feeds the Concentration Reduction Plan, and its largest-source share feeds the Early-Warning Indicators.
