Release notes · live

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

2 updates
  1. 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
  2. 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.

32 updates
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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
  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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
  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. Briefs

    Weekly brief — scheduled delivery

    Weekly executive briefs can be scheduled to a named distribution list, with send status visible in the audit log.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. Reports

    Executive reports — first release

    Operational and resilience reports introduced, generated from the live workspace and exportable to PDF.

  21. 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.

  22. 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.

  23. Recommended Actions

    Recommended actions — first release

    Detected risks now produce concrete recommended actions with owners and expected risk reduction, replacing the alert-only flow.

  24. 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.

  25. 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.

  26. 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.

  27. 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.

  28. Alerts

    Alert rules — first release

    Configurable alert rules shipped with severity thresholds, supplier scoping, and email delivery to a single workspace channel.

  29. Shipments

    Shipment tracking — first release

    Shipment registry shipped with carrier-quoted ETAs, lane assignment, and status — the first operational surface beyond the supplier list.

  30. 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.

  31. 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.

  32. 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.
