A regulation or auditor just set a deadline
Prove your origin and compliance exposure before the auditor asks.
CBAM, EUDR, UFLPA, CSRD, the Digital Product Passport, FSMA 204 — different acronyms, one underlying demand: where did this come from, who owns it, what is it made of, and how did it get here. Map Collective maps your exposure to every obligation on the clock — in sourced, labeled evidence, not supplier self-attestation.
The deadline
A regulation, an auditor, a customer attestation.
The ask
Origin, ownership, composition, route — on the record.
The gap
Self-attestation an audit will not accept.
01The trigger
The deadline is fixed. The exposure underneath it is not optional.
Compliance is a deadline; exposure is what the audit tests. Before you file, you need to know which inputs carry origin, forced-labor, deforestation or carbon exposure — traced to where the material actually comes from. That is the question we answer, and it is the same one underneath every regulation on the horizon.
02What it covers
Every deadline on the horizon asks for the same primitives.
We source the evidence each one needs.

Also on the clock
03Your exposure
The obligation is published. Your exposure to it is not.
Compliance & legal
Which inputs carry the obligation?
The affected commodity, origin or substance traced to every part and supplier that touches it — so the filing rests on evidence, not a supplier's word.
TriggerA regulation takes effect, an auditor opens a file.
Trade & customs
Can I prove origin at the border?
Component-level origin and route, corroborated against bill-of-lading and ownership data — the proof customs and presumption rebuttals demand.
TriggerA detention, a CBAM declaration, a UFLPA hold.
Audit & assurance
Will the evidence hold up?
Every claim labeled corroborated, divergent or unobserved, with provenance attached — defensible in front of an assurer, never inflated into proof.
TriggerLimited or reasonable assurance on a disclosure.
04How the exposure map reads it
One engine. The same exposure spine every door opens.
01Integrate
Start from the data you already own.
Your bill of materials, purchase orders and trade records — fused with observed external signal. No survey. No waiting on a supplier to self-report. We map what is declared and lay it against what is actually moving.
02Rank
Surface what actually triggers the rule.
A regulation rarely bites where you assume. GRID ranks exposure by which inputs actually carry the obligated origin, substance or carbon — so the component that fails the audit surfaces ahead of the one you were watching.
03Decide
File from evidence, not estimates.
A compliance exposure map you can take into the filing: which inputs are clean, which carry exposure, and how strong the evidence is for each. Every node labeled — corroborated, divergent or unobserved. We never inflate a guess into proof.
Every door into one exposure engine.
Compliance is the regulatory-deadline door — CBAM, EUDR, UFLPA, CSRD and the rest. We map exposure, never a filed disclosure or a certified figure. It is the same map underneath — opened by a different trigger.
Map your compliance exposure before the deadline lands.
A scoped pilot on one regulation or product line. We trace origin, ownership and composition to the evidence each obligation demands, label every claim, and hand you a map you can take into the filing — in weeks, not quarters.
