Continuous aerospace supplier intelligence — mapped to your bill of materials, delivered weekly.
Monitors
The Synthetic Supplier Intelligence runs a continuous watch across the qualified aerospace supplier landscape — structures, onboard computers, antennas, thermal systems, mechanisms, slip rings, dispensers, separation systems. It tracks supplier capabilities, flight heritage, lead times, ESA/NASA qualification status, certifications, and capacity signals across European, US, and Asian hardware vendors.
Qualification milestones (ECSS, MIL-STD, NASA-STD), in-orbit performance history, and mission deployments for each candidate supplier in your subsystem classes.
Current and announced manufacturing capacity, cleanroom class, lead times, and workload across European, US, and Asian aerospace suppliers.
Emerging suppliers, academic spinouts, and stealth hardware vendors across structures, onboard computers, antennas, thermal, mechanisms, slip rings, dispensers, and separation systems.
Supplier acquisitions, consolidations, strategic partnerships, and capability expansions that shift pricing, lead times, or accessibility.
Where warm-introduction surfaces exist — ESA BIC, CHESS, national aerospace clusters, Tier 1 primes, flight-proven venture networks — the brief names them.
Delivers
Every week, the Synthetic Supplier Intelligence produces a supplier brief specific to your mission architecture. It ranks candidate suppliers for each subsystem by fit, heritage, and accessibility, and flags supplier announcements, qualification milestones, and capacity changes as they happen.
A structured summary of the week's significant movements in your supplier landscape: new entrants, qualification milestones, capacity changes, and acquisitions. 600–900 words. No padding.
For each critical subsystem on your bill of materials, a ranked set of candidate suppliers scored by flight heritage fit, schedule fit, cost range, and accessibility.
Immediate notifications for supplier announcements that materially affect your architecture: new qualifications, capacity expansions, acquisitions, price shifts.
Named relationship pathways where they exist — ESA BIC, CHESS, national clusters, prime contractor intro routes — surfaced in the brief so you can activate them.
A longer-form synthesis every quarter: structural shifts in European, US, and Asian supplier capacity for your hardware class.

Role
Supply chain analyst or hardware procurement consultant
Cost
CHF 120,000–160,000/year fully loaded
Time to value
4–6 months to hire with aerospace supplier knowledge, 3–4 months to reach productivity
A dedicated supply chain analyst with qualified aerospace supplier knowledge costs CHF 120,000–160,000 per year including social contributions and overhead. Procurement consultants in Switzerland charge CHF 1,500–2,500 per day. The Synthetic Supplier Intelligence delivers a continuously-updated view of the qualified supplier landscape for CHF 1,100 per month, active from week one.
Scope
The Synthetic Supplier Intelligence is an intelligence function, not a procurement function. Understanding where it ends helps you use it correctly.
It surfaces candidate suppliers and their heritage. Deciding which to engage, negotiate with, and sign is your job.
On-site supplier assessment, manufacturing audit, and first-article inspection remain founder-led and cannot be automated.
Research labs or suppliers without public filings, patents, qualifications, or press presence are invisible to it.
Contract terms, pricing, and MoU drafting require human judgment and relationship-building.
For
A technical founder at pre-seed, seed, or MVP stage building hardware in aerospace or defence who needs a qualified supplier landscape view but cannot justify a full-time supply chain hire yet. You know your subsystem requirements. You need continuous visibility across European and global hardware vendors without paying a consultant's day rate.
Active from week one. Weekly brief delivered every Monday. Cancel anytime after the first month.
