SAQ TARGETING FOR PROCUREMENT & SUPPLY-CHAIN COMPLIANCE

You can’t assess 2,000 suppliers.Know which 200 to start with.

Upload three columns — supplier name, site country, annual spend — and Tieron returns a ranked SAQ wave: country risk and sector risk from public reference data, sanctions/UFLPA screening, and an Impact × Risk ranking you can put in front of an auditor. Built for UFLPA and CSDDD programs that have to defend every targeting decision.

No sign-up to try it — the demo runs on realistic sample data. Your spend figures never leave your account.

HOW TARGETING NARROWS THE FIELD
2,000
suppliers in scope
  • 2,000 suppliers on the ledger. Too many to assess — and spend-descending misses the risky tail.
  • Every site risk-scored, automatically. Country, sector, and sanctions screening resolve before anyone answers a questionnaire.
  • 200 make this quarter's SAQ wave. Ranked, defensible, ready to send — sanctions matches always included.

From spreadsheet to defensible SAQ wave in one sitting

Most teams pick SAQ recipients by spend descending, or by gut. When an auditor — or your board — asks “why these suppliers?”, spend-only targeting has no answer for the $80k plating shop in a high-risk corridor.

  1. Import your list. CSV upload or paste from Excel. Japanese and English headers, Shift_JIS and UTF-8, ¥ and $ all handled. Three columns minimum.
  2. Automatic enrichment. Countries resolve to a public-data country composite. Sectors map to a 33-industry risk table — inferred from the name when your file has no sector column, flagged for confirmation. Names screen against OFAC SDN, BIS Entity List, EU, UK, and UFLPA.
  3. Set your wave size— one slider: “we can process 200 SAQs this quarter.” The scatter, map, and ranked table update instantly; sanctions matches are always in.
  4. Export with receipts. The CSV includes every factor, weight, and data source per supplier — attach it to the approval and go.

Every number expands to factor × weight × source — ready for the internal approval doc. Sanctions matches are always wave 1, regardless of score.

A score you can defend

Impact and risk are weighed together, so a huge but low-risk supplier doesn’t crowd out the small supplier in a sanctioned corridor. When someone asks “why these 200?”, every selection carries its receipts — and weights are adjustable when your program weighs human-rights exposure differently from continuity risk.

Hokuriku Chemical — plating & surface treatment, JP64.9

Every score expands to factor × weight × source, per supplier — the export attaches straight to your approval doc. See a full breakdown →

Your annual-spend figures are treated as private tenant data: they are used in the score on your screen and in your export, never shown publicly, never shared. Sanctions screening sends supplier names only.

The SAQ loop closes in one tool

Targeting is step one. The same selection becomes an assessment campaign — and every response makes your data better and the network bigger.

  1. Send. One click turns your wave into per-supplier invitation links (47-question SAQ, English, ~15 minutes). Track response status per campaign.
  2. Measure. Answers replace estimates in your ranking — conflict minerals, incident history, and disclosure scores upgrade from “estimated” to “measured”, with the provenance to prove it.
  3. Verify. Suppliers claim their profile, confirm or correct the data you hold on them — you see “Claimed · 75% verified” instead of guessing.
  4. Cascade.A claimed supplier maps its own upstream with the same free risk view — and sends the same assessment one tier up. That’s how the map grows.

Tieron is built by the team mapping Japan-Asia supply-chain data — the tier-2 coverage US tools don’t have. Targeting and the SAQ loop (invite → respond → measured scores) are live; supplier network mapping ships next.
