Operations and procurement
Four filing systems, one corpus.
Supply chain risk hides in the gaps between document types. The contract says one thing, the certification another, and the email thread that reconciled them is in somebody's mailbox.

The situation
The evidence is fragmented by format rather than by meaning: terms in PDFs, tolerances in drawings, commitments in mail, exceptions in a ticketing system.
Much of it is commercially confidential to counterparties who did not consent to it being processed by a third-party model, which rules out the obvious tools.
What we build
Supplier risk
Contracts, certifications and correspondence read as a single body of evidence, with contradictions surfaced and sourced.
Specification extraction
Tolerances, materials and commercial terms pulled from drawings and datasheets into structured data you can query.
Exception triage
Logistics exceptions explained and routed, with the underlying documents attached to the recommendation.
Demand narrative
The story behind the forecast, written from your own history rather than from a template.
Counterparty confidentiality is not yours to waive
Supplier pricing and specifications are usually confidential to the supplier. Processing them through a hosted model may breach a term you agreed to, whatever your own risk appetite.
What changes
- Contradictions between contract and certification surface before an audit does
- Specification data becomes queryable instead of re-read
- Exception handling stops depending on institutional memory
