The supply chain flow map open on a laptop: the cobalt route traced from artisanal mine sites in the Democratic Republic of the Congo up through smelters, refiners and cathode makers to the battery pack manufacturer, with a supplier panel below showing position, country of origin and risk level
The Challenge

Due diligence was static, and the world wasn't.

Sourcing commodities like copper, cobalt and gold from high-risk regions demands meticulous due diligence — OECD Annex II, AML/CFT checks, watchlist screening, site audits, ESG scoring. Traditional approaches were static: a supplier filled in a form, an analyst scored it, and six months later the risk profile was already out of date.

Compliance teams juggled disconnected tools for financial verification, watchlist cross-referencing, audit tracking and ESG reporting — with no way to triangulate evidence across sources or surface red flags automatically.

The Solution

Living supplier profiles, always up to date.

An integrated platform where each supplier is a continuously evolving record. Inherent risk, residual risk and audit performance are tracked as three independent dimensions. Triangulation from multiple sources — self-assessment, third-party audits, independent research — keeps every field current and traceable.

Red flags surface automatically when new information contradicts a supplier's record. Reports are generated on demand for any regulatory framework — OECD, LBMA, RMI — with full source-tracking baked in.

Supplier assessment for a copper mine: inherent risk, residual risk and audit performance as three separate readings, location on a map, audit criteria scored against the OECD-aligned checklist, and the self-assessment entry form the supplier fills in alongside it
Supplier assessment, the analyst's read and the supplier's own entry form side by side
