Does the record order book now moving through aerospace strengthen your position — or expose it?
More than 15,000 aircraft are on order across Airbus and Boeing — a record backlog running the aerospace supply base at full stretch, with £8.6bn of new combat-air work landing on the same suppliers. Before a bid, a build-rate commitment, a partner or an audit puts your supply chain to the test, we give you a defensible, source-cited read on where your position actually holds — and where it doesn’t.
Decision-grade · built to a reliance-bearing standard · conflict-walled
We publish the standard we work to. We never publish the method.
An airframe or engine OEM, a prime or a tier-1/2 aerostructures or systems supplier weighing a bid, a build-rate commitment or a second source · an MRO provider, special-process, casting or forging house who can’t see past your own tier-1 · an airline or lessor weighing an airframe or engine commitment · a board or investment committee facing a programme decision too big to get wrong · an aerospace & defence fund or corporate-development team pricing a target · or an A&D lender or aviation-asset underwriter pricing a position you can’t see inside.
Nine decisions. One Evidence Pack each. Built to one published standard.
Whichever aerospace decision is in front of you, we settle it as a single, defensible Evidence Pack — a source-cited read you can take to a board, an investment committee, a prime, a regulator or a lender. Pick the one that’s yours. Supply-chain exposure runs through several of them; it is never the whole of it.
Win the work — and hold it
Can you prove the supply chain behind this bid or build-rate commitment will hold — before you commit to deliver it?
The single-source casting, forging or special process that turns a won package into a programme you can’t deliver to rate — invisible from inside your own build.
Bid Evidence PackTypical reader: capture lead / programme director.
Is a supplier you depend on already on a path to failure — and would you see it before it stops the line?
The distress, the ownership change, the lost accreditation forming deep in your chain — read on the public record, not forecast.
Supplier Watch Evidence PackTypical reader: supply-chain & procurement director.
Should you second-source this before a single supplier can ground a programme?
The sole-source or foreign-controlled item — castings and forgings, titanium, permanent magnets, a special process — that one event could put out of reach.
Second-Source Evidence PackTypical reader: procurement / operations director.
If a prime, an auditor or an export regulator asked tomorrow, could you prove your chain is clean — on the clock you’re already on?
Accreditation flow-down, export-control and forced-labour obligations that bind several tiers below you, ahead of dated deadlines.
Compliance Evidence PackTypical reader: compliance & quality / export-control lead.
Commit to a partner or a market
Does this teaming partner, JV or sub-tier have the capacity — and the clean ownership — to be worth committing to before you sign?
The hidden parent, the adverse control chain, the sanctions or screening exposure — traced before it surfaces mid-programme.
Teaming Evidence PackTypical reader: programmes / partnerships lead.
Is there a defensible position in this programme or market — or is the ground already held?
Where capability and demand are concentrating before the programme or competition opens — and who already owns the lane you’re eyeing.
Market Entry Evidence PackTypical reader: strategy / corporate development.
Put capital behind it
Is this borrower’s or programme’s order book as solid as the model assumes?
The dependency under an aerospace borrower a credit file won’t surface — supply-chain exposure, never a market, price or return call.
Lending Evidence PackTypical reader: aerospace & defence lender / credit.
What is your real exposure to a failure deep in a chain you can’t currently see?
The concentrated single point underneath an insured asset, fleet or programme — counted as separate risks when it’s really one.
Underwriting Evidence PackTypical reader: aviation & aerospace underwriter.
What dependency and ownership risk are you really buying inside this target?
The concealed concentration a vendor data room won’t surface — supply-chain dependency, never price or return.
Acquisition Evidence PackTypical reader: corporate-development / A&D-fund deal team.
A read of record — not a score, not a dashboard.
Whichever decision you bring, the Evidence Pack has the same shape. You can hand it to a board and defend every line of it.
Two unrelated programmes resolve to one shared single-source forging house.
The specimen is redacted — it shows the form and the rigour without exposing a position or our method.
The Lansary Standard is published as the bar this work is built to meet. It is not yet adopted as an external mandate, and no read shown is a live, conferred finding.
Every Evidence Pack is held to a bar you can read.
The credibility is the standard, published — not a claim about it.
One published standard — the bar a board, a regulator or a lender can hold us to.
Every Evidence Pack is built to it, and every claim traces to the public record. You see the standard. You never see the method — that is the protection. (Published as the bar the work is built to meet; not yet adopted as an external mandate.) Read the Standard →
Nothing to sell you. Your names never leave the room.
What you get is one defensible read on what your position actually depends on — dated, source-cited, and reached the same way every time, so it holds up to the board, the prime or the lender who will test it. Never a black-box score.
The independence isn’t a claim — it’s borrowed from the record. We anchor to the public registers an aerospace buyer already trusts: Companies House and the PSC register, the MOD’s contract record and Find a Tender, the UK Strategic Export Control Lists and the UK Sanctions List, the published Nadcap and AS9100 accreditation registers. You can tell an intelligence house by what it refuses: no score, no forecast, no client names, no “how it works”.
What you bring stays in confidence under NDA. Your suppliers, partners and targets are never named to anyone; anything we reference publicly is unnamed and aggregate.
