Detect hidden relationships in tenders and supplier networks.

Compass connects suppliers, tenders, bids, beneficial owners and decision-makers to reveal collusion, conflicts of interest and supply-chain risk — before contracts are signed.

The problem

Collusion is a network. Most tools look at one supplier at a time.

Bid rigging, fronting, conflicts of interest and supplier-network risk live in the relationships between participants — addresses, owners, legal representatives, recurring co-bidding patterns — not in any single tender file.

How Compass works

From tender record to integrity graph.

  1. 01

    Ingest tender records, supplier master data, registries, bids and award decisions

  2. 02

    Resolve suppliers, owners and representatives into a unified procurement graph

  3. 03

    Surface co-bidding patterns, shared infrastructure and conflicts of interest

  4. 04

    Score tender and supplier integrity with explainable evidence

  5. 05

    Recommend review actions to the procurement and audit team

Non-obvious relationship

Three independent bidders. One shared legal representative.

On paper, three competing suppliers. Compass detects a shared legal representative, overlapping addresses and a recurring co-bidding pattern across past tenders — and recommends the lot for integrity review before award.

Trust by design

Evidence, explainability, audit — built into every output.

Source-level evidence

Every signal, score and recommendation links back to the underlying record — the email, the filing, the transaction, the document — with the source visible at a click.

Explainable recommendations

No black-box outputs. Each priority states why it was promoted, which signals contributed, which were declassed, and which model version produced it.

Audit trail by default

Signals, model versions, reviewers and actions are logged and reconstructable later — ready for internal control, regulators and your own governance.

Human-in-the-loop

Compass recommends. Authorized people decide. Every consequential action requires a named reviewer who can confirm, override or annotate the reasoning.

Human-in-the-loop

Award, exclusion and audit decisions remain with the procurement and integrity team. Compass surfaces patterns and provides evidence — it does not decide tender outcomes.
