Supply chain

How far back can you
evidence it?

The defence line: where a contracted supplier's inputs actually originate, tier by tier, and the exact point at which the paperwork stops being evidence and starts being assertion.

The gap is the finding.

Everyone in defence procurement can name their tier-one suppliers. Almost nobody can evidence tier three. The distance between those two facts is where export-control exposure, forced-labour exposure and state-ownership exposure all sit. A supplier questionnaire returned in full tells you nothing about it.

This line reports where the record stops as a finding in its own right, with a severity, rather than as a caveat at the end of a green dashboard.

It is built for the defence sector and handled directly. If this is your problem, write to us and we will show you what it produces.
