Compass for the Defence Industry.

From export programs to capability sales, from program governance to industrial partnerships — Compass gives defence industry teams a continuous, sovereign, signal-driven understanding of their commercial and program realities.

THE DEFENCE COMMERCIAL REALITY

Defence sales are not regular sales. Defence programs are not regular programs.

Defence export cycles span years, not quarters. Buyers are governments, not procurement departments. Signals come from political shifts, defence policy publications, alliance dynamics, and industrial cooperation announcements — not from CRM activity logs. The forecast meeting and the country profiling exercise are the same meeting.

On the program side, delivery happens under multi-party governance, regulatory overlays, and audit requirements that make standard project tools inadequate. Stakeholder mapping isn't optional — it's foundational. Time Machine isn't a feature — it's compliance.

WHERE COMPASS FITS

Two Compass solutions for the defence industry.

Sales & Commercial Operations

For defence industrial groups selling capabilities, platforms, and services.

Multi-year export pipelines. Government counterparts. Country-specific intelligence. Stakeholder mapping across defence ministries, naval staffs, air forces, intelligence agencies. Compass for Sales & Commercial Operations frames the discipline for the defence-export reality.

  • Country and counterpart intelligence
  • Multi-year program pipeline
  • Government stakeholder mapping

Program Operations

For defence programs in delivery — industrial, capability, or infrastructure.

Multi-party governance. Multi-year milestones. Regulatory and audit overlay. Counterpart intelligence on ministries, prime contractors, sub-system suppliers. Compass for Program Operations runs the governance layer where standard tools fall short.

  • Multi-stakeholder program governance
  • Counterpart and regulatory intelligence
  • Full audit trail with Time Machine
WHY COMPASS

Sovereign. Secure. Defence-ready.

Sovereign infrastructure

EU hosting. On-prem and air-gapped deployment. No US cloud dependency. Built by a European company under European jurisdiction. The default posture for defence programs.

Compliance and audit

Full audit trail of every signal, decision, and state change. Time Machine reconstructs any moment in the program lifecycle. Multi-tenant separation for sensitive programs. Designed for environments where accountability is permanent.

OSINT-native intelligence

Continuous monitoring of policy publications, defence procurement signals, alliance dynamics, industrial cooperation announcements. OSINT is not an add-on — it's the foundation of the platform.
