Procurement Due Diligence.
The full dossier in hours, not weeks.
Leah builds a defensible, evidence-backed dossier on every critical supplier. Financial soundness, ownership tree, sanctions and PEP, key personnel, references, ESG, and audit history. Every finding cited to source.
A sanctions screen is not due diligence.
Pre-contract DD takes weeks, not hours
Procurement teams want to award the contract this quarter. Risk teams need three to four weeks to assemble a defensible dossier. The deal slips, the vendor gets impatient, and shortcuts creep into the file.
Ownership trees assembled by hand
Beneficial ownership is buried across registries, filings, and disclosures in multiple jurisdictions. Mapping the parent, subsidiaries, and ultimate beneficial owners is hours of manual lookup that goes stale the moment it is filed.
Regulatory history fragmented across jurisdictions
A supplier with operations in five countries has regulatory exposure in five regulators. Enforcement actions, consent orders, and licensing issues live in different databases and languages. Most files capture only the home jurisdiction.
Key personnel diligence is inconsistent
Sometimes the analyst checks the CEO. Sometimes the CFO. Sometimes the board. There is no defined standard for who gets diligenced or what counts as a finding. Two analysts produce two different dossiers on the same supplier.
Reference checks are ad hoc
References are collected when there is time, skipped when there is not. The questions vary by analyst, the answers go into free-text notes, and nobody can run a comparison across the supplier base.
Audit trail is thin when challenged
When regulators or internal audit ask why a supplier was approved, the answer is a PDF and an email thread. Reconstructing what was checked, what was found, and who signed off takes days, and the gaps are uncomfortable.
Financial soundness mapped to the ultimate beneficial owner
Leah pulls financial filings, credit data, and corporate registry records across jurisdictions and assembles a structured view of the supplier. Liquidity, leverage, and going-concern signals are surfaced. The ownership tree is built from primary sources, with parents, subsidiaries, and ultimate beneficial owners identified and dated.
“The ownership tree work used to be the bottleneck. Leah builds it from primary sources in minutes, with citations we can defend.”

Five steps from request to defensible dossier
Leah works alongside procurement and risk. No rip and replace, and the diligence standard you already define becomes the one she enforces.
Receive Request
Procurement or risk submits a diligence request with the supplier name, scope, and target categories. Leah ingests the request and confirms the diligence standard to apply.
Build Ownership Tree
Leah pulls corporate registry filings across the supplier's jurisdictions and assembles the parent, subsidiary, and ultimate beneficial owner structure with effective dates and source links.
Run Screens
Sanctions, PEP, adverse media, regulatory history, and litigation screens are run against the entity and key personnel across every operating jurisdiction.
Diligence Personnel
Founders, executives, board, and material shareholders are checked under a defined standard. Reference questionnaires are issued and responses normalized.
Generate Dossier
A structured dossier is produced with every claim cited to its source. The full audit trail is logged. Material findings are flagged for committee review.

M&A diligence is broader and deeper, covering tax, IP, employment, customer contracts, and integration risk for an acquisition. Procurement due diligence is focused on the supplier relationship: financial soundness, ownership, regulatory standing, key personnel, references, ESG, and audit history. Leah handles both as separate workflows with different scopes and outputs.
Vendor onboarding is a periodic, lightweight check applied to most vendors at intake. Procurement due diligence is a deep-dive on a specific supplier or category, usually pre-contract or pre-renewal for material spend or critical relationships. The dossier is more comprehensive and the cycle time matters because it gates a deal.
Corporate registries, financial filings, consolidated sanctions lists (OFAC, EU, UK, UN, and local), regulatory enforcement databases, adverse media sources, ESG disclosures, and structured reference responses. All sources are cited inline and the diligence trail logs every query run. Customers can also connect their own subscribed data providers.
Yes. Each customer defines what their dossier must cover, which screens are mandatory, what counts as a material finding, and who must sign off. Leah applies that standard consistently across every dossier. Different standards can be configured for different supplier tiers or risk categories.
Material findings are surfaced in the dossier with severity, recency, and source. The dossier routes to the procurement committee, risk committee, or designated approver based on the finding type and your governance rules. Overrides and conditional approvals are logged with rationale, so the audit trail is complete.
Yes. Leah is deployed by manufacturers, logistics groups, and engineering firms with strict data handling requirements. Dossier content does not train Leah's underlying models. Customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest. SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA-ready, and ISO 27001 aligned. Private instance deployment is available where data isolation is required.
