On the purchase order, not beside it.

Verify sits on the purchase-order line for magnetics and rare earths. Price consensus, sanctions, mineral custody, a permissioned seal, and an HMAC core share one evidence packet. A BLOCK is recorded only after a human approves it.

Capability matrix

S2P suites own the PO. ESG vendors own the scorecard. Traceability vendors own the lot. VerityX is the verify pass that sits on the line item.

Compare and contrast

Source-to-pay

SAP Ariba, Coupa, GEP SMART, Ivalua

LIVE · SAP OData tenant
They
Own the purchase order, intake, and supplier master. ESG, risk, and traceability are modules or partner add-ons sitting beside the PO, not on it.
We
Verify runs on the PO path. An analog OData HOLD/RELEASE posts back onto the same document the buyer is looking at, with CSRF, ETag, and an IDoc trail.
Contrast
They remain the system of record for procurement. We do not replace Ariba or Coupa. We do not pretend a Siemens tenant is wired. We prove the line item before it clears.

ESG scorecard

EcoVadis

STALE · ESG scorecard (21 criteria)
They
EcoVadis sells questionnaire scorecards and medals on an annual cadence, scored by analysts against 21 criteria in four themes. Strong, paid, and off the purchase order.
We
Every supplier on the magnetics tape gets VerityX’s own 21-criteria ESG scorecard in the same verify pass as price consensus and mineral custody. NACE 27 weights, published medal cutoffs, GLEIF + news evidence.
Contrast
We do not have their questionnaire network or analyst desk. This is the public methodology scored from GLEIF, the UN list and GDELT news headlines — not an EcoVadis tenant, and not a fake medal.
Prove on the desk →

Media and disruption risk

Prewave

STALE · Media-risk heat
They
Prewave watches media and disruption events across the supplier graph and sells a heat score off the PO. Strong, paid, and built for a control-tower, not a single line item.
We
The same PO that carries the ESG scorecard also carries a media-risk heat: GDELT headline incidents classified as disruption, ESG, labor, compliance, or quality, sealed into the packet.
Contrast
We do not ingest their firehose or analyst coverage. Heat here is live GDELT headlines on the magnetics suppliers Elena is buying — named on the field, not hidden behind SCREEN.
Prove on the desk →

N-tier map and disruption

Resilinc, Everstream, Sayari

They
Map multi-tier supply, flag site-level disruption, and (Sayari) stitch corporate and trade networks. Built for operations and investigations, not a single PO decision.
We
Each scenario carries an n-tier map with country, lat/lng, and a custody evidence string that seals into the packet.
Contrast
We do not ingest their event firehoses or beneficial-ownership graphs. The map is the magnetics chain we actually buy on — not a global control-tower.

Mineral passport and custody

Circulor, Minespider, Everledger

LIVE · Lot custody ledger
They
Circulor runs mass-balance lots and battery passports. Minespider issues due-diligence batch certificates. Everledger proved luxury and diamond provenance on a chain.
We
A hashed mass-balance lot and a SHA-256 batch passport are written for every seeded PO, with EU DPP and GS1 Digital Link identifiers in the packet.
Contrast
Vendor tenants are not subscribed. The ledgers are protocol-complete on this host — chain, events, certificate hash — not their production networks.
Prove on the desk →

Financial health

RapidRatings, Dun & Bradstreet

STALE · SCREEN stack
They
RapidRatings scores private-company FHR from financials. D&B is the identity and PAYDEX backbone most S2P suites already license.
We
A disclosure heuristic: listed suppliers publish audited financials; unlisted suppliers in low-disclosure jurisdictions raise an opacity flag. It is not a credit rating.
Contrast
We will not invent a private-company rating. Opacity is the honest signal. D&B is not a tenant here.
Prove on the desk →

Evidence and trade graph

Sourcemap, Altana

They
Sourcemap builds mapped, exportable evidence packs for due diligence. Altana reconstructs dark supply chains from trade data.
We
One JSON (and OS PDF) packet: PO, consensus, screens, lots, PBFT seal, HMAC inclusion. Built to leave the desk.
Contrast
We do not reconstruct the world's trade graph. The packet covers the PO in front of Elena, not every lane in the North Sea.

Price oracles

Argus, Fastmarkets, LME

REFERENCE · Reference prices
They
Paid daily assessments and exchange cash/3M prices that procurement treats as the market. Argus and Fastmarkets are the rare-earth standards.
We
Licensed public reference averages — World Bank monthly copper and aluminium, USGS annual NdPr and Dy, ECB daily FX — each shown with its period and attribution, plus the buyer's own licensed benchmark on any check. MAD-filter poisoned prints before consensus.
Contrast
We do not resell or display paid price assessments. Reference averages are context; a rare-earth verdict needs the buyer's own licensed benchmark, which they enter on the check.
Prove on the desk →

Permissioned consensus

Hyperledger Fabric samples

LIVE · PBFT cluster
They
Permissioned ledgers for supply-chain pilots. Public PoW chains are the wrong trust model for a PO.
We
A 27-voter PBFT (f=8, quorum 19) seals the packet with delayed envelopes and HMAC MACs. Two voters are Byzantine on purpose.
Contrast
This is an in-process cluster, not 27 racks. The protocol is real; the topology is honest about being hosted here.
Prove on the desk →

Workforce identity

Okta Workforce Identity

LIVE · OIDC workforce IdP
They
The enterprise IdP. Password, SSO, MFA, lifecycle. What Siemens already runs.
We
Desk seats issue standard OIDC RS256 tokens, with discovery and JWKS, so the analog SAP path sees a workforce bearer.
Contrast
Okta Workforce is not provisioned. Google/X sign-in is for the OS and owner command, not a substitute Okta tenant.
Prove on the desk →

Continuity

verityx-local-core

They
Our own library. HMAC-SHA256 append-only log and domain-separated Merkle inclusion, independent of the desk UI.
We
The live doctor on /core is bit-identical to v1.7.0 (0188c84). Fail-closed replay. No public write route.
Contrast
Not a mesh peer and not a public blockchain. Continuity is a signed log you can take offline.
