Aware for Supply Chain

Government action reachesyour bill of materials

Aware for Supply Chain is Aware Platform applied to supply-chain decisions. It traces the action to the supplier and the part, separates cost exposure from continuity exposure, and compares only the responses your constraints allow.

Worked example

One action, start to finish

One Commerce notice, traced through one importer, in five steps.

01 · Impact

Two risks, two answers

An action can be financially heavy and operationally simple, or cheap and impossible in time. Aware scores the two apart.

Impact

Financial exposure

$164M a year

$13.7M a month from 1 December

Decision window

6 weeks to file

closes 30 September; the 46% re-run needs 9, modeled

One answer is a dollar figure, the other is a clock. The same action scores differently on each scale, and each score carries its reason.

03 · Evidence

Aware shows what it does not know

Every material fact carries an evidence label, and missing information becomes a request to the person or supplier who can close it.

04 · Next Move

Only the responses you can execute

Aware removes actions that violate qualification, capacity, contract, specification, or lead-time limits, then compares what is left.

Re-source parts to U.S. suppliers by 30 September

Removed · qualification lead time

Recommended · File A by 30 September, then B as an amended submission once FY26 evidence is complete. B is worth about $20M a year more, but needs nine weeks against a six-week window.

The binding date is 18 September, not 30 September: the determination attaches to an importer-of-record number that CBP begins voiding that day (91 FR 53627).

05 · Action

From recommendation to record

Every action carries an owner, a start-by date, dependencies, and the consequence of delay.

Projected and realized are kept separate, never merged. The filing window is still open; nothing is realized yet.

The government action, citation, dates and tariff mechanics are public record. The company, its content percentages and all figures are illustrative.
