Supply-chain & corporate integrity intelligence

What companies actually do — not what they claim.

The information needed to judge a company’s integrity already exists: in filings, court records, news in dozens of languages, NGO investigations and its own published claims. It is simply unreadable at human scale. Integrity Monitor makes it readable — and links every finding back to the source it came from.

The problem

Due diligence is manual, fragmented and reactive

A mid-sized manufacturer typically manages relationships with hundreds of suppliers across multiple continents, each under a different regulatory regime and exposed to different risks. The information needed to assess them is scattered across regulatory filings, news in dozens of languages, macroeconomic reports, patent registries, NGO monitoring databases and commercial registries — overwhelmingly unstructured, in formats no analyst team can process comprehensively.

So procurement and compliance teams spend weeks researching a single critical supplier, and still capture only a fraction of what is publicly known. Meanwhile the consequences of missing something have grown sharper on three fronts at once.

Regulation turned transparency into a legal obligation

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive requires disclosure of sustainability performance across the entire value chain. The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive attaches legal liability for environmental and human-rights impacts along the supply chain. The Digital Product Passport will require traceability of materials and processes. The 2025 Omnibus package narrowed who is in scope — but for those still in it, the obligations stand, and the direction is irreversible.

Reputation damage is financially material

The question has been studied rigorously. Ege, Wang and Xu (2025), in the Review of Accounting Studies, examined 110 reputation-damaging events affecting the US Big Four audit firms between 2007 and 2019. Aggregate market share held — those firms are partly insulated by their oligopoly position and by high client switching costs — but several individual events produced significant negative abnormal returns, and the effects were strongest in competitive markets with low switching costs. Supply-chain relationships have far lower switching costs and far more alternatives than audit engagements. The exposure there is greater, not smaller.

Smaller companies carry the same duty with none of the resources

Large multinationals build dedicated teams of ESG analysts and compliance officers. The small and medium enterprises that form the backbone of European industry cannot — yet the regulatory cascade reaches them all the same, directly or through the customers who must report on them.

What we’re building

An intelligence cycle that runs itself — and shows its work

Integrity Monitor automates the path from raw public information to a decision a professional can defend: systematic acquisition, semantic processing, multidimensional scoring, conversational querying and continuous alerting.

Acquire

Real-time news feeds, regulatory filings, macroeconomic databases, patent registries and companies’ own published claims — ingested continuously rather than gathered by hand for one report.

Understand

Language models read documents in many languages to extract entities, relationships and claims; a knowledge graph connects them, so exposure through a second- or third-tier supplier becomes visible.

Ground

Answers are generated from retrieved, indexed documents — retrieval-augmented, with sources cited — not from a model’s recollection. If it isn’t in a document, it isn’t in the answer.

Score

Findings roll into a multidimensional index with trends over time, where every component links back to the article, filing or claim that produced it.

Monitor

Assessment is not a one-off. Sources are re-harvested, results are compared, and material change raises an alert on the entities you watch.

Report

Structured reports and exports for the audit file, the compliance officer and the disclosure that regulation now requires.

The framework

Five dimensions of counterparty integrity

A reputation score that cannot be taken apart is worth little. Ours decomposes into five dimensions, each assessed from evidence that can be inspected.

Financial stability

Credit signals, liquidity, profitability and leverage, drawn from filings for listed counterparties and from registries and trade sources for private ones, benchmarked against the sector.

Compliance

Certifications and their validity, licences and permits, enforcement actions — cross-referenced with international and NGO monitoring of labour and human-rights standards.

Supply-chain stability

Concentration by geography and commodity, and country-level exposure assessed with OECD, IMF, World Bank and BIS data: political stability, conflict, disaster risk, logistics reliability.

ESG

Declared environmental and social commitments checked against independent reporting, NGO findings, regulatory action and investigative journalism — greenwashing and social-washing detection by design.

Strategy & innovation

R&D investment, patent activity, research collaboration, and demonstrated resilience: continuity planning, client diversification, adaptability through past disruption.

Products

One product shipped. The platform follows it.

We ship narrow and prove it works before widening. What is available is available today; what is not is labelled as such.

Available now

Reputation Index

Screens a brand’s environmental claims against Directive (EU) 2024/825, flags each one with the exact legal provision it trips, verifies the evidence behind it, and abstains when the facts aren’t established. Built for consultancies, audit firms and legal teams before the 27 September 2026 deadline.

In development

Supplier due diligence

The five-dimension assessment applied to a counterparty: financial health, compliance record, chain stability, ESG conduct and innovation capacity, assembled into one sourced profile.

In development

Portfolio monitoring

Continuous watch over a portfolio of suppliers or brands, with change detection and alerting when something material moves — extending the monitoring already shipped inside Reputation Index.

Planned

CSRD & CS3D reporting support

Feeding the evidence gathered for assessment directly into value-chain disclosure, so the same work serves both the decision and the report.

Planned

Further jurisdictions

Rule catalogs beyond EU and Italian law, and source coverage extended to the markets that European supply chains actually depend on.

How we build

Credibility is a construction, not a claim

These four rules are why a professional can put their name on our output. They are enforced in the product, not promised in the marketing.

Every finding carries its source

A conclusion without a traceable document behind it does not ship. Quotes are verified verbatim against the source; anything that fails is rejected, and the rejection is shown rather than hidden.

We abstain when the evidence is absent

“Not determined” is a first-class answer. A confident wrong judgment is worse than no judgment, because someone acts on it. Absence of evidence is never reported as evidence of absence.

The law is code, not inference

Where a legal rule applies, it is implemented deterministically and versioned: same input, same result, reproducible for an audit file years later. Models read language; they never judge the law.

Every limit is disclosed

Uncalibrated scores say so. MVP-grade components say so. We do not quote accuracy figures that no ground-truth dataset could support. A tool that states what it cannot do is worth more than one that claims everything.

Who it’s for

Anyone who has to answer for a counterparty

Enterprises & SMEs

Procurement and compliance teams that must assess suppliers with the rigour regulation now expects — including the smaller firms that never had an analyst team to do it.

Consultancies & auditors

Advisors who need defensible, citable evidence inside an engagement, and a method a client’s own lawyers can review line by line.

NGOs & institutions

Organisations investigating what sits behind corporate claims, who need the provenance trail as much as the finding.

Work with us before the deadline, not after it
