Comparison between conventional resilience metrics and the entropy-based resilience score

Metric/framework	Primary dimension captured	Main limitation	Complementarity of proposed metric
Throughput recovery time	Operational recovery	Ex post; cannot identify fragility before disruption materializes	Provides an ex ante signal before operational breakdown becomes visible
Capacity utilization	Physical resource stress	Static; may not reveal systemic uncertainty or expectation fragmentation	Adds a market-information layer to physical capacity indicators
Static network redundancy	Structural backup capacity	Does not capture dynamic pricing uncertainty or market coordination failure	Distinguishes informational fragmentation from structural redundancy
Freight-rate volatility	Magnitude of price fluctuations	Measures fluctuation magnitude but not the informational structure of uncertainty	Adds information-theoretic structure to volatility analysis
Entropy-based resilience score	Informational and financial resilience	Requires discretization choices and sensitivity checks for robust entropy estimation	Provides a dynamic early-warning indicator for container freight market stress
