Recently shipped to ChainsSignal.
Operational improvements across supplier graph, disruption radar, stress tests, compliance, briefs, mobile, and audit log — written for the people who run them.
Last month
- Briefs
Weekly executive brief — annotated PDF export
Brief PDFs now embed inline annotations from the analyst, source links for every claim, and a one-page leadership summary on the cover.
- Inline analyst annotations attached to each section
- Cover page with three decisions, three risks, three wins
- Source links resolve to the originating signal in the radar
- Compliance
Compliance visibility — supplier framework grouping
Documents now roll up by framework (ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF, FDA, REACH, UFLPA, CBAM) per supplier, with a single expiry timeline and review-status totals at the top of each supplier panel.
Earlier
- Reports
Executive reports — scheduled distribution
Operational and resilience reports can be scheduled weekly or monthly to a named distribution list, with delivery status visible in the audit log.
- Recommended Actions
Recommended actions — supplier recommendation explanations
Backup supplier suggestions now show why each candidate reduces exposure, with side-by-side scoring on lead time, qualification status, geographic separation, and historical reliability.
- Stress Tests
Inventory stress test — calculation refinements
Stress-test math now accounts for in-transit inventory by lane, partial shipments, and multi-tier lead-time variance instead of using a flat lead-time mean.
- In-transit units counted against burn-down per lane
- Lead-time variance modeled per supplier-route pair
- Scenario results round-trip persist with named saves
- Disruption Radar
Disruption radar — signal filtering and noise control
Filter signals by severity, region, category, and source confidence; per-source dampening rules suppress repeated low-relevance feeds without losing the underlying event history.
- Shipments
Shipment ETA — risk-weighted predictions
Shipment ETAs now blend carrier-quoted dates with route, port, and weather signals to produce a probability-weighted predicted ETA with a clearly displayed confidence band.
- Alerts
Alert rules — quiet hours and per-rule channels
Alert rules support quiet hours, on-call rotation routing, and per-rule channels (email, Slack, Teams, webhook) so escalation paths match the team that actually owns the response.
- Supplier Graph
Supplier graph — Tier-2 / Tier-3 inference
Multi-tier dependency graph now infers upstream relationships from BOM lineage and PO history, with a visible confidence score on every inferred edge so analysts can promote or reject.
- Inferred edges marked with confidence + source rationale
- One-click promotion to a confirmed dependency
- Graph layout stable across re-renders
- Imports
CSV import mapping — column suggestions and review step
CSV imports now suggest column mappings against the canonical schema, surface duplicates and conflicts in a review step, and let operators commit, skip, or merge each row.
- Mobile
Mobile command center — bottom-sheet detail panes
Suppliers, shipments, alerts, and recommended actions now open into mobile-native bottom sheets with full action menus, keeping primary CTAs in reach without leaving context.
- Audit Log
Audit log — actor, object, before/after diff
Audit events now record actor, object, IP, user agent, and a before/after diff for every mutation. Filterable export to CSV for compliance reviews.
- Compliance
Compliance — expiration badges and review status
Document tracking now surfaces expiration badges, supplier association, and review status across all compliance frameworks, with auto-derived alerts at 30 / 14 / 7 days.
- Mobile
Mobile — bottom-sheet detail panes (general availability)
Bottom-sheet detail surfaces graduated from preview to GA across suppliers, shipments, and alerts after four release cycles of field use.
- Imports
CSV import — staged review step
Imports now stage rows in a review buffer where operators can resolve duplicates, fix column mappings, and commit per-row instead of all-or-nothing.
- Audit Log
Audit log — before/after diff capture
Mutation events now persist a structured before/after diff alongside actor, IP, and user-agent, replacing the earlier event-only log.
- Compliance
Compliance — framework rollups per supplier
Per-supplier framework rollups (ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF, FDA, REACH) replace the flat document list, with a single expiry timeline per supplier.
- Shipments
Shipment ETA — confidence bands
Shipment timelines now display a confidence band on the predicted ETA derived from historical lane variance, replacing the single point estimate.
- Briefs
Weekly brief — scheduled delivery
Weekly executive briefs can be scheduled to a named distribution list, with send status visible in the audit log.
- Disruption Radar
Disruption radar — per-source dampening
Per-source dampening rules suppress repeated low-relevance feeds without losing the underlying event history. Replaces global noise thresholds.
- Alerts
Alert rules — channel routing
Alert rules now route per-channel (email, Slack, Teams, webhook) instead of a single workspace-wide channel, with on-call rotation routing where configured.
- Reports
Executive reports — first release
Operational and resilience reports introduced, generated from the live workspace and exportable to PDF.
- Supplier Graph
Supplier graph — Tier-2 inference (preview)
Multi-tier dependency inference from BOM lineage and PO history shipped in preview, with confidence scores on every inferred edge.
- Stress Tests
Inventory stress tests — first release
Scenario-driven inventory stress tests shipped with named saves, allowing operators to project stockout under supplier or lane disruption.
- Recommended Actions
Recommended actions — first release
Detected risks now produce concrete recommended actions with owners and expected risk reduction, replacing the alert-only flow.
- Briefs
Weekly executive brief — first release
First version of the weekly brief generator: one-page leadership summary covering decisions, risks, and wins from the past seven days.
- Mobile
Mobile — read-only beta
Mobile read-only view shipped for dashboard, alerts, and supplier detail. Field operators can monitor the workspace without a laptop.
- Audit Log
Audit log — first release
Workspace audit log shipped capturing actor, action, and target for every write. Filterable by user, object type, and date range.
- Compliance
Compliance documents — first release
Per-supplier document tracking shipped with type tagging (ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF) and an expiry date field surfaced on the supplier panel.
- Alerts
Alert rules — first release
Configurable alert rules shipped with severity thresholds, supplier scoping, and email delivery to a single workspace channel.
- Shipments
Shipment tracking — first release
Shipment registry shipped with carrier-quoted ETAs, lane assignment, and status — the first operational surface beyond the supplier list.
- Disruption Radar
Disruption radar — first release
Live external signal feed shipped covering geopolitical, weather, and port congestion sources, matched against the workspace's supplier footprint.
- Imports
CSV imports — first release
Suppliers, parts, and BOMs can be imported from CSV with column auto-detection. Replaces the manual entry flow used during private beta.
- Supplier Graph
Supplier graph — initial release
First public release of ChainsSignal: workspace, suppliers, parts, and a Tier-1 dependency graph rendered from imported BOM data.
Run a risk audit on your own network.
Map suppliers, surface single points of failure, and ship the first weekly executive brief inside an hour.
