The exact change
The article cited a precise Sheffi 40%/2.3-year/29-disruption finding, an Andrew Lo 3-5x VaR amplification estimate, and a single definitive $9.6 billion Kiel Suez-blockage figure.
Reframed the Sheffi figures as illustrative, generalized the Lo mechanism without the unverifiable multiplier, and noted the Kiel figure was one of several differing estimates.
Suggested change
See before/after.
Why this is better
The precise multipliers and single-estimate framing were not fully verifiable. Corrections scope the claims rather than adding new sources.
