Diligence questions

  1. The dataset records 2 tracked suppliers for Sequans Communications. 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?
  2. 2 of Sequans Communications's tracked suppliers are a monopoly or leader (including ASE Technology, TSMC). Which of those are actually single-source for the process step you care about?
  3. The dataset names 1 tracked customer for Sequans Communications. How concentrated is demand among those names, and which of them have a documented second source in this graph?
  4. Sequans Communications is headquartered in France. What jurisdiction, export-control or logistics risk sits at that HQ, versus at the fabs or plants the filings actually name?
  5. Sequans Communications trades as NYSE:SQNS. What does the latest reported period say about capacity and backlog versus the graph position above?
  6. Before treating any edge as a verified relationship, check the provenance labels on the company page and the method note at /methodology.
