Neutral Supply-Chain Assurance & Oversight (2LoD)

 Your teams and partners execute; we independently verify, challenge where needed, and make “closed” mean closed with proof—using the tools you already have. Digital accelerates; assurance is the system.
Fix the flow with FVA → hold providers to it with OSPM™. 

We verify and challenge; we don’t run operations or issue audit opinions. Independent bodies do that—we prepare and liaise.

 Fix the flow that keeps biting you—and prove it stays fixed.
Independent 2LoD oversight—using the tools you already have. 

When to use it

• “Green” dashboards, recurring exceptions
• Slow closure or issues re-opening
• KPIs look fine, customer outcomes don’t
   

What we do (light & practical)

• Make rules and handoffs explicit for one high-friction flow
• Surface real exceptions; assign owners, cadence, escalation
• Connect existing data to a simple evidence log (time-stamped closures)
•  External Assurance Interface (3LoD/4LoD): curate a focused Proof Pack, host a lightweight data room, run mock checks, and liaise with internal/external auditors or certifiers. Independent bodies issue opinions/certifications; we don’t.
   

What you get (outcomes & proof)

•  Fewer repeats; faster time-to-closure 
• Tighter linkage of policy → KPIs → action
•  A short Proof Pack (before/after summary + time-stamped closure evidence) that speeds audit/cert prep  
   

Why flows (not functions)
We focus where breakdowns—and breakthroughs—actually happen between teams and providers (plan ↔ provider, sourcing ↔ performance, promise ↔ delivery).

Flows we often tackle

• Source-to-Deliver — wire accountability and evidence
  so sourcing decisions translate into performance 
• Plan-to-Inventory — align plans with site realities and supplier constraints
• Fulfill-to-Promise — synchronize warehousing, logistics, delivery to hit promise windows
• Order-to-Cash — reduce execution errors that stall revenue realization
• Reverse & Regenerative — bring structure and evidence to returns, circularity, and compliance-linked flows
   

2LoD placement (FVA-specific)

• 2LoD (SDXSol): verify, challenge, attest; maintain the evidence log and Proof Pack
• 3LoD/4LoD: prepare and liaise; independent auditors/certifiers test and issue opinions

 Standard for providers—verified on a rhythm you control.
We keep external partners aligned to business value by making promises testable and closure provable. Your teams and providers execute; we verify.

• When to use: “SLA green, outcomes red”; escalations stall; evidence gaps; renewals feel risky
• What we do: Pre-Award define “good” + proof; Post-Award run a neutral cadence, verify evidence, track corrective actions to closure
• What you get: fewer surprises; cleaner renewals; consistent performance across sites/tiers; a concise Supplier Conformance Summary each cycle
   

2LoD boundary: we don’t run providers or sell software. We prepare & liaise; independent bodies issue opinions/certifications.

 Why providers—not just contracts.
Most value leaks after signature. OSPM focuses on the space between contract and delivery—making ownership explicit, cadence real, and proof non-negotiable—so partners become reliable extensions of your supply chain. 

Want the full model?
See the dedicated OSPM™ page for the framework overview.

Exception time-to-close • evidence coverage ratio • % control tests passed • provider conformance • audit findings remediated

Start small: 1 flow (FVA) or 1 provider lane (OSPM). Stabilize the cadence and closure rules. Scale where evidence shows value.

• We do not run operations or take operational control
• We do not issue audit opinions (independent bodies do)
• We do keep assurance independent, evidence-first, and practical

 Ready to see the gap?
Let’s align the rules, clarify ownership, and verify adherence—so policy and performance stay connected across the chain. 

Baseline & Proof

• FVA QuickScan: policy→KPI→provider alignment; exception map; evidence gaps
• Governance Readiness: clarify rules, owners, decision rights; tighten KPI thresholds
• Proof-Pack Build: evidence vault, traceability links, audit trails; mock checks
   

Oversight-as-a-Service (2LoD)

• Assurance Cadence: independent reviews; exception closure tracking; neutral escalations
• KPI Governance & Benchmarking: right metrics, trigger rules, review rhythm, peer context
• Contract Compliance & Risk Monitoring: post-award controls, risk logs, corrective actions
   

Provider Governance (OSPM-aligned)

• Provider Pre-Verify: due diligence that defines proof upfront
• Supplier Review Program: structured reviews with closure evidence
• Supplier Development Nudges: targeted fixes surfaced by evidence
   

Regulatory & External Readiness

• External Assurance Interface: curate Proof Packs; host a light data room; run mock checks
• Regulatory Readiness Packs: DSCSA, HRDD/EUDR/UFLPA, and other conformance evidence sets
   

Enablement (optional)

• SCBoK Training & Clinics: Assurance 101, OSPM Specialist track, KPI governance clinics
• Evidence Ops Lite: simple ways to run the vault and dashboards with the tools you have
