Geopolitical Intelligence · Supply Chain Operations
Tariffs shift. Ports close. Policies change overnight. Most operations leaders find out too late. Strabo Insight puts the intelligence in front of you first.
A tariff announcement drops on a Tuesday. By Friday, manufacturers sourcing from China are repricing every open PO, and their procurement teams are scrambling. It wasn't unpredictable. You just didn't have the right intelligence.
Geopolitical analysis has always lived inside enterprise risk platforms, government briefings, and five-figure consulting retainers. Operations leaders at small to mid-size US manufacturers have been priced out of the room. They absorb the cost. Then they explain it in the next board meeting.
Strabo Insight was built to change that equation.
Strabo is the risk team for companies that don't have one. Three ways in. Start where your exposure is.
Every month, 3 to 5 active geopolitical flashpoints translated into specific operational decisions for US manufacturers with Asia or Latin America supply chain exposure. Not what happened. What it means for your sourcing, logistics, and vendor relationships next month.
$299/month, locked for as long as you stay subscribed. Standard rate is $349/month from November 1. Founding subscribers receive Issue 01 regardless of when in October they join. Cancel anytime. If you cancel, you lose the rate.
Issue 01 ships Tuesday, October 6.
Four days of research on your supply chain, delivered in one working session. You send your supplier base: countries, ports, lead times, dependencies. We map where your geopolitical exposure actually sits, go deep on the suppliers carrying the most risk (typically five to seven), and identify what is moving against them right now.
You leave with:
Monday intake call. Tuesday through Thursday research. Friday delivery session.
Starts with a 30-minute call.
Your mapped supplier base, rescanned every month against current conditions. What moved, what did not, what is now in motion, and what it means for the orders you place next. If something breaks against your exposure between cycles, you hear from us within two business days.
90-day initial term, then month to month. 30 days notice. Founding clients hold $2,500 for as long as the retainer runs continuously.
Requires a completed Exposure Session
Ask About MonitoringFive stages. Continuous monitoring to a decision-ready output. Every element filtered through one question: does this change what you do on Monday?
Continuous monitoring across Asia, Latin America, and key trade corridors. We track geopolitical developments, policy shifts, and supplier network signals that have a direct bearing on US manufacturing and distribution operations.
Most events don't affect operations. We cut everything that doesn't have a direct implication for procurement, logistics, or sourcing. What remains is a signal. What gets cut is noise.
Every signal gets translated into an operational implication written for the person making procurement decisions, not the person writing a thesis. If we can't state the operational implication, it doesn't get written.
The intelligence reaches you as a one-week working session, ongoing monthly monitoring, or a monthly brief. The format depends on where your exposure is. The standard doesn't change.
You get the intelligence. You make the call with better information than your competitors, before the market has priced in the disruption.
Seven years in supply chain operations. At VF Corp I was a buyer and planner for Icebreaker: global supplier buying, delivery into US and Canadian distribution centers, the air freight budget, and supply risk across one of the most Asia-exposed apparel supply chains in the world. Before that, inventory management at Airbus. When tariffs hit, I was the one rebuilding supply plans around new cost structures and shifting lead times. I saw what reactive intelligence looks like at scale. It was expensive. And it was entirely preventable.
Strabo Insight was built on that experience. Operations and procurement leaders at small to mid-size US manufacturers are making sourcing decisions every day without the geopolitical context that would change those decisions. The intelligence exists. Now it's built for them.
If your supply chain touches Asia or Latin America and you're operating on reactive intelligence, this was built for your situation.
