Wedge: the supply-chain risk analyst who lives in a spreadsheet
The problem, precisely
When a single-source supplier of a critical component fails, a cross-functional scramble begins: procurement, operations, quality, and legal pull fragmented facts from contracts, certificates, supplier sites, news, and internal systems, then try to verify claims and pick an alternative under revenue pressure. The work is done in a shared spreadsheet and a Slack channel. The failure modes are slow decisions, missed contradictions, and commitments made on unverified supplier claims.
Who buys it
Buyer: Head / Director of Supply Chain Risk, or VP Operations, at a manufacturer with single-source critical components — electronics, medical devices, aerospace, industrial equipment.
Champion: the supply-chain risk analyst who currently maintains the disruption "war-room" spreadsheet by hand.
Trigger: a board-level mandate for supply-chain resilience after a real disruption (near-universal since 2021).
Wedge and expansion
Land with the incident-response workflow for one commodity family (the spreadsheet replacement). Expand to continuous supplier monitoring, multi-tier mapping, and pre-cleared alternate-supplier playbooks. The provenance layer — every claim carries its source and verification status — becomes the audit record procurement already needs for compliance.
Pricing
| Tier | Price | For |
|---|---|---|
| Team | $1.5–3k / mo + per-incident usage | One risk team, shared backend |
| Enterprise | $60–150k / yr | Private backend (Xano), SSO, custom risk model, multi-site |
The math the buyer runs: one prevented 8-day stockout on a $2.4M line pays for the platform for years. The subscription is a rounding error against a single missed disruption.
Competitive landscape
Risk-monitoring platforms (Everstream, Interos, Resilinc) tell you a disruption happened. They don't run the verified investigate → decide → document → sign response. AegisFlow starts where they stop.
Procurement suites (SAP Ariba, Coupa) manage POs and approved vendors. They have no evidence-provenance model and no rapid-response workflow for a supplier that just failed.
Generic AI agents promise autonomous procurement. Buyers in regulated manufacturing will not let an agent commit spend. AegisFlow's "AI prepares, human authorizes" posture is the wedge, not a limitation.
Why now
Two curves crossed: supply-chain resilience became a board priority, and LLMs got good enough to read a certificate and cross-check a registration. The missing piece is trust — which is exactly what the provenance layer and the human-authorization state machine provide.
