Platform
A decision system for CSCOs, procurement leaders, and risk owners.
ApertureRisks connects disruption signals to supplier records, Tier-N relationships, POs, BOM exposure, contracts, lanes, facilities, margins, and action ownership so leaders can see what is exposed and what decision comes next.
From signal to business decision
The useful output is not the alert. It is the decision your team can defend.
ApertureRisks starts with the operating question your team must answer. It connects external pressure to real dependencies, explains the evidence behind the exposure, and identifies the action that should happen next.
From recommendation to governed action
When the selected response is a purchase-order change, the governed Coupa connector can prepare a PO-change submission directly in the procurement workflow while preserving tenant write controls and Coupa's native approval policy.
1. What happened?
Detect and verify supplier, freight, climate, policy, compliance, financial, and market signals while recording source and freshness.
2. What does it touch?
Map the signal to suppliers, facilities, lanes, contracts, documentation gaps, POs, BOMs, inventory, and customer commitments.
3. How serious is it?
Calculate AR-Score from signal confidence, exposure relevance, and business impact. Show Response Readiness separately from governed action evidence.
4. What should happen next?
Create a prioritized action register with an owner, deadline, alternate path, evidence status, and escalation requirement.
5. Can the decision be defended?
Produce a human-reviewed brief that separates verified facts, inferred exposure, unsupported gaps, cost implications, and the reasoning behind the recommendation.
ApertureRisks Score (AR-Score)
One evidence-backed score shows what deserves leadership attention now.
AR-Score measures the severity, credibility, and business relevance of a verified exposure. Response Readiness is an independent measure of governed preparation and never modifies AR-Score v2.
Evidence boundary
No AR-Score is calculated when required operating context is insufficient. Verified, inferred, and unsupported exposure remain visibly separate, contradictory evidence produces a not-assessed result, and every recommendation requires human review.
Signal confidence
31.25%Source freshness, corroboration, severity, and reliability.
Exposure relevance
37.50%Verified connection to suppliers, POs, lanes, facilities, contracts, and customer commitments.
Business impact
31.25%Revenue, margin, service, and fulfillment exposure supported by operating records.
Response Readiness · separate measure
Uses the existing governed action-readiness evidence. Higher values mean stronger preparation; the result is versioned and presented beside AR-Score.
Start with the decision
You do not need a full implementation to identify an urgent exposure.
The free File-Structure Check validates headers only. The Paid Exposure Assessment accepts row-level records for one scoped exposure question and produces the first evidence-backed AR-Score, action register, and executive Decision Brief.
Every exposure decision should address the full decision framework.

Tier-N Supplier and Operating Context
Most companies can name Tier 1 suppliers, but business exposure usually hides in sub-tier relationships, component dependencies, open POs, customer commitments, and the lanes that move critical goods.
ApertureRisks helps teams map direct, inferred, and unverified supplier relationships while connecting those nodes to the operating records that determine revenue exposure, service risk, and response priority.
Capabilities
Evidence Confidence and Due Diligence Readiness
Supplier questionnaires can be incomplete, outdated, inconsistent, or difficult to verify. ApertureRisks separates what is verified, what is inferred, and what remains unsupported before a claim reaches an executive brief.
The platform supports customer audit readiness, UFLPA exposure screening, CS3D-related customer pressure, and due diligence evidence organization without confusing severity with proof.
Capabilities
Physical Disruption and Lane Exposure
Weather, port closures, regional instability, and carrier constraints only matter when they connect to a supplier, facility, PO, BOM item, lane, customer commitment, or margin window.
Flood, wildfire, heat, storm exposure, water stress, port disruption, route vulnerability, supplier downtime, and continuity exposure are translated into decision-ready operating impact.
Capabilities
ApertureRisks Score (AR-Score) Decision Prioritization
AR-Score measures verified exposure through confidence, relevance, and business impact. Response Readiness separately shows whether governed preparation is strong enough to act.
Evidence Pack and Decision Brief Generator
Generate defensible evidence packs and executive Decision Briefs for customer audits, procurement reviews, regulatory inquiries, and disruption response. Each brief organizes the signal, exposure chain, confidence basis, business impact, recommended action, and owner.
Evidence packs help teams respond faster to customer questionnaires and demonstrate due diligence readiness without overstating unsupported exposure.
Scenario Planning
Model disruption scenarios across your supplier network and operating context. Connect climate events, supplier failures, port disruptions, carrier constraints, and route vulnerabilities to affected POs, BOM items, lanes, facilities, and customer commitments.
Scenario planning supports resilience decisions by showing which suppliers, routes, dependencies, and margin windows are most exposed to specific disruption types.
Executive Reporting and Decision Support
Generate executive summaries, board-level exposure reports, supplier baselines, and action plans that help procurement, supply chain, compliance, logistics, finance, and leadership teams make defensible decisions from the same operating view.
