Technical Notes
Technical Notes provide focused reference points for individual formulas, indices, or concepts. Each note includes the rendered equation, LaTeX source, parameter definitions, and a worked example. This allows readers to quickly check how a formula is constructed and how it applies in context.
The Herfindahl - Hirschman Index
Technical Note # 005
The Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI) is a widely used measure of market concentration and competition. It is calculated as the sum of the squares of market shares of firms in a given industry, producing a score between 0 and 10,000. A higher HHI indicates greater concentration and potentially less competition. This Technical Note explains the formula, parameters, and practical applications of HHI in business analytics, drawing examples from determinants including Market Demand, Capital Availability, and Business Model Viability.

Technical Note # 006
This Technical Note illustrates how to score the Financial Priorities component of the Capital Availability framework using two contrasting case examples drawn from: an Electric Motor Manufacturer in the automotive supply chain and a Windshield Wiper Importer operating through distributors and eCommerce.
How to: Score "Strategic Levers"
Technical Note # 7
This Technical Note demonstrates how to assess the Strategic Levers dimension of the Capital Availability framework using two contrasting examples: a Healthcare Provider (Regional Clinics Group) and a Supplier of Advanced Medical Equipment. We evaluate four levers—Growth Strategy (30%), Timing & Urgency of Capital (25%), Risk Appetite (25%), and Diversification vs Focus (20%)
