The geopolitical landscape has fundamentally shifted the calculus of supply chain risk. Tariff volatility, trade restrictions, and economic uncertainty have compressed the window organizations have to respond and raised the stakes for every blind spot in their supplier network. The average enterprise faces four major supply chain disruption events per year. Each one costs $22M on average, $82M annually. Yet, most risk programs are still built to report on disruption after it lands, not anticipate it before it does. Fewer than 10% of Fortune 1000 companies have visibility into their sub-tier supply chains, and the past year of supply chain and trade policy volatility has exposed how costly that blind spot can be.
The shift from reactive to predictive is the difference between a disruption you saw coming and one that blindsided you. iQ makes that shift possible by orchestrating your ERP data with the interos.ai Resilience platform to surface AI-driven recommendations in the tools and language your teams already use. iQ adds the ability to quantify customers financial exposure, and other unique risk mitigation opportunities to turn proactive supply chain risk management as a competitive advantage.
What Is iQ?
iQ is a predictive supply chain risk intelligence platform built on the interos.ai Resilience platform. It gives procurement, risk, and finance teams continuous, AI-powered intelligence across three critical risk categories: supplier reputational risk, tariff exposure, and multi-tier product disruption. What makes iQ different is how it connects your data to the world’s. By matching your ERP identifiers directly against the interos.ai knowledge graph, iQ quantifies exposure in dollars, not just risk signals, and recommends specific alternative suppliers before disruption reaches your operations. That means risk teams can assign owners, start mitigation, and execute within the tools they already use, without ever leaving the platform.
iQ debuts with three product modules targeting geopolitical risks: ireputation, itracing, and itariffs. Each product targets a category of risk that has historically been difficult to detect early and even harder to quantify in financial terms. Together, they shift supply chain risk management from monitoring what happened to anticipating what is coming, across reputational signals, product-level disruption, and tariff exposure across the entire supplier network.
ireputation: Real-Time Supplier Reputational Risk Monitoring
Supplier reputational risk does not announce itself. A bankruptcy filing, a foreign ownership disclosure, a regulatory violation, a corruption scandal. The signals emerge long before the story breaks publicly. The gap between when reputational risk emerges and when organizations find out is where damage happens.
ireputation combines interos.ai’s existing supplier intelligence with Dataminr’s real-time social media and news monitoring to detect corruption, financial distress, scandals, and regulatory violations the moment they emerge. Every event is summarized and scored by severity so teams spend less time searching for risk and more time acting on it, with monitoring updated every 20 minutes.
Supplier reputational risk is organized across five pillars:
- Foreign Influence: Detect foreign government interactions, ownership structures, and insider threats before they become a national security or compliance liability.
- Brand & Operational Performance: Surface negative product discourse, quality failures, and recall risks across your supplier network before they reach your customers.
- Regulatory & Compliance Exposure: Monitor SEC litigations, unethical labor connections, and regulatory violations across your suppliers in real time. Not at your next audit.
- Negative Financial News: Track bankruptcies, major market downturns, and financial distress signals across your ecosystem before supplier insolvency disrupts your operations.
- Corporate Behavior: Identify unethical, criminal, or reputationally damaging corporate conduct across your supply chain before it becomes your organization’s problem.
itariffs: Quantify Tariff Exposure Across Your Entire Supplier Network
Tariff volatility is no longer a trade compliance issue. It’s an operational and financial one. When a new tariff is announced, organizations need to know immediately: how many suppliers are affected, what products are in scope, and what’s the total spend at risk across the entire network.
itariffs empowers companies to quickly identify Tier 1, 2, and 3 suppliers at highest risk of tariff exposure so teams can proactively mitigate. It maps tariff risk across the full supplier base, lets teams explore exposure interactively by country and product category, and surfaces actionable lists of at-risk suppliers so the right conversations happen before costs escalate.
itracing: Multi-Tier Supply Chain Visibility Down to the Product and Component Level
Most supply chain tools show where risk exists. itracing shows what it means for your specific products, materials, and revenue-critical inputs across Tier 1, 2, and 3 supplier networks.
When tariffs change, import restriction, or geopolitical event emerges, itracing tells teams immediately whether it affects their specific products and components, so they can see which materials and finished goods are at risk and understand the financial and operational impact at the product level before delays or compliance failures occur. Teams can map that risk, streamline supplier vetting, and identify lower-risk alternative suppliers without leaving the interos.ai platform.
Why Predictive Supply Chain Risk Intelligence Is Now a Competitive Requirement
Those relying on manual methods, periodic reviews, and survey-based due diligence are already behind by the time disruption surfaces. In an era of uncertainty where supply chain conditions can shift overnight, staying ahead of disruption is a requirement.
iQ is built on the premise that supply chain risk does not have to be an inevitable cost of doing business. With intelligence that arrives early enough, reaches deep enough, and translates directly into financial terms, it becomes a manageable, measurable variable.
