How can "RAID for supply chains" not just lead to being competed out of business by competitors without that added complexity in the short term? (The obvious answer of creating random disasters that hit single source competitors harder seems sketchy.) It seems like the only industries it work in would have to essentially be oligopoly class or otherwise noncompetitive to begin with.

The more cynical way to put it is nobody gets a raise for a detailed continuity of operations plan. They do if they reduce manufacturing cost by 20%.
