Full Disclosure

What We Publish

Every data point we collect is made available to buyers and, where appropriate, to the public. Here is the complete list of what we share on every lot.

Quality Scores

  • SCA cupping scores with full 10-attribute breakdown
  • Independent Q-grader evaluations (minimum two per lot)
  • Historical score trends for returning producers

Lab Analysis

  • Moisture content (% by weight)
  • Water activity (Aw)
  • Density (g/L)
  • Screen size distribution
  • Defect count (primary and secondary)

Sensor Data

  • Temperature readings throughout transit (continuous)
  • Humidity levels in storage and shipping
  • GPS location tracking from origin to destination
  • Time-in-transit and dwell-time at each waypoint

Documents

  • Certificates of origin
  • Phytosanitary certificates
  • ICO certificates of re-export (where applicable)
  • Bills of lading and shipping manifests
  • Organic / Fair Trade / Rainforest Alliance certifications

Payment Records

  • FOB price paid per lot
  • Premium above commodity benchmark (C-price)
  • Breakdown of value distribution along the chain
  • Payment milestone status and confirmation timestamps

Audit Trails

  • Timestamped event log for every lot action
  • Hash-chain verification for document integrity
  • User attribution for all data entries and modifications
  • Exportable audit reports for compliance and due diligence

Verification Methodology

How We Verify

Publishing data only matters if that data is trustworthy. Here is how we ensure every number on our platform is accurate, independent, and verifiable.

01

Independent Q-Graders

Every lot is evaluated by at least two SCA-certified Q-graders who are independent of both the buyer and seller. Graders follow a standardized blind-cupping protocol, and their individual scores are published alongside the average.

Key safeguards

  • Blind cupping eliminates bias
  • Full 10-attribute SCA scoring protocol
  • Grader credentials and certifications on file
  • Disagreements over 3 points trigger a third evaluation
02

Certified Lab Analysis

We partner with accredited laboratories at origin and at destination to test moisture, density, water activity, and defect counts. Results are cross-referenced with on-site measurements to ensure consistency.

Key safeguards

  • ISO 17025-accredited partner labs
  • Dual testing at origin and destination
  • Results compared against pre-shipment benchmarks
  • Out-of-spec results trigger holds and re-evaluation
03

AI Document Validation

Our document engine uses machine learning to read, classify, and cross-reference supply chain documents. It extracts key fields (weights, dates, origins, lot numbers) and checks for consistency across the full document set.

Key safeguards

  • Automated extraction of key data fields
  • Cross-document consistency validation
  • Anomaly detection flags suspicious patterns
  • Human review escalation for edge cases
04

IoT Sensor Monitoring

Connected sensors travel with every shipment, recording temperature, humidity, and location at regular intervals. Data streams to our platform in near real-time, with automatic alerts if conditions breach defined thresholds.

Key safeguards

  • Sensors calibrated and sealed before deployment
  • Data transmitted at configurable intervals (default: every 15 minutes)
  • Threshold-based alerts for temperature and humidity excursions
  • Full sensor data history downloadable per lot

Immutable Records

The Hash-Chain Audit Trail

Every action on our platform — document uploads, score entries, payment events, status changes — is recorded in a cryptographic hash chain. Each entry is linked to the previous one, making it impossible to alter past records without detection.

  • Every event is timestamped and assigned a unique hash
  • Each hash incorporates the previous hash, creating an unbreakable chain
  • Any modification to a past entry would invalidate all subsequent hashes
  • Audit trails are exportable for independent third-party verification
  • Event attribution tracks which user or system created each entry
