One supplier decision. Two ways it can cost you.

In clean energy, who you buy from can trigger a forced-labor hold at the border and void the tax credits the project depends on. Compliable.ai screens supplier ownership and sourcing against both regimes at once, and re-screens as entity lists and thresholds change.

01 · The problem

The panel clears customs. Or the project economics don't.

In power and renewables, supplier risk lands in two places at once: a forced-labor detention at the border, and the loss of clean-energy tax credits based on a supplier's ownership and control. The same vendor decision drives both.

Forced-labor exposure

Buried deep in the supply chain

Polysilicon and battery inputs carry forced-labor risk several tiers down, and the entity list keeps growing.

Prohibited ownership

A minority stake can disqualify

New rules tie tax-credit eligibility to foreign ownership and control thresholds. A stake short of control can still void a credit.

The proof

Demanded on two fronts

Border clearance and credit substantiation both require documentation you can produce on demand.

02 · One platform, shaped to your supplier process

The same three questions, asked of every supplier. You configure how each is answered.

Who is this supplier and who controls it, what is the risk to border clearance and to the credit, and can you defend the decision to customs and to the tax authority. Compliable.ai answers all three on one platform, and every part is yours to set: the documents you require, the checks you run, the steps you keep or cut, and what happens at each event. Below is the default flow for a power or renewables supplier. Reshape it to your process.

Collect

Documents you require
  • Corporate registration and ownership records
  • Supplier certifications and bills of materials
  • Sourcing and traceability documentation
  • Domestic-content and material-assistance attestations
2

Screen

Checks you run
  • Supplier and beneficial-owner screening across the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), United Nations, and European Union lists and the forced-labor entity list
  • Ownership and control tested against the covered-nation thresholds via GLEIF
  • Adverse media via GDELT, politically exposed person checks via Wikidata
  • Sourcing claims reconciled against shipping and supply records
3

Decide

The call you make
  • Evidence measured against your policy for border clearance and credit eligibility
  • Open questions resolved before a purchase order
  • A recommendation with the reasoning shown
  • A record built for customs admissibility and credit substantiation
None of this is fixed. Cut a step a low-risk supplier does not need, prefill the certifications and attestations you require, set a hold when ownership crosses a threshold, or re-screen automatically when the entity list grows. The template is yours to configure. The platform keeps every version coherent and audit-ready.
Your documents become your workflow

The standard documents, validated today. The rest, configured with you.

Compliable.ai validates the critical documents every counterparty shares out of the box: articles of formation and incorporation, standard bank documents, and tax forms. The documents and checks specific to your suppliers you give us as examples, and we turn them into validation and workflow with you, not in an engineering backlog. For the parts unique to your desk, we partner and refine against your real cases.

03 · The engine underneath

The AI does the gathering. Your analyst makes the call.

Every supplier file runs through the same set of AI capabilities. Here is what that looks like pointed at a power or renewables supplier.

Document validation

Reads supplier certifications, bills of materials, and attestations in seconds, extracts the key data, and flags a bad or expired document on upload.

Cross-document analysis

Reconciles the file. If a sourcing claim does not line up with the shipping records, or an attestation contradicts the bill of materials, it surfaces immediately.

Ownership and control resolution

Traces ownership through GLEIF and tests the covered-nation ownership and control thresholds that decide tax-credit eligibility.

Screening triage

Runs multi-provider screening, including the forced-labor entity list, then scores false-positive probability so a common name does not stall an approval.

Enrichment linking

Matches the supplier across open data for corporate structure, leaked-document exposure, and adverse media, and links what belongs together.

Executive summary

Writes the supplier file into a defensible record for both customs admissibility and credit substantiation.

04 · Diligence depth that scales with risk

Clear a low-risk supplier fast. Press hard where the credit is at stake.

Not every supplier earns the same review. Compliable.ai scores each vendor and tiers the work, so a domestic low-risk supplier clears quickly and a covered-nation or threshold-crossing supplier gets the deeper look, automatically, by rule.

Tier 1 · Routine

Domestic, low-risk supplier

A domestic or low-risk supplier with simple ownership. Identity, sanctions, and ownership screening at baseline depth.

Risk band: typically Low. Automated pass, exception review only.
Tier 2 · Elevated

Covered-nation or layered ownership

Covered-nation exposure or layered ownership. Adds enhanced ownership and control analysis and adverse-media review.

Risk band: Medium. Analyst review before activation.
Tier 3 · Enhanced

Entity-list or threshold exposure

Entity-list adjacency, threshold-crossing ownership, or high forced-labor-risk inputs. Full enhanced due diligence (EDD) and a complete record.

Risk band: High to Critical. Senior sign-off, full audit narrative.

05 · The agents, working a supplier

The same four agents, pointed at your suppliers.

Agentic Authority is not one AI making calls. It is specialized agents, each doing one job, collaborating through a controlled workflow, here configured for a power or renewables supplier.

Agent 01

Document Intelligence Agent

Reads and validates every supplier document as it uploads, and reconciles the file. A sourcing claim that does not match the shipping records, or a missing attestation, surfaces the moment the file lands.

Agent 02

Agentic Screening Agent

Runs sanctions, watchlist, and forced-labor entity-list screening on the supplier and its owners in one pass, tests ownership against the covered-nation thresholds via GLEIF, then explains and scores each hit.

Agent 03

Signal Agent

Applies your policy for border clearance and credit eligibility to the evidence, then recommends the call: approve, hold, or escalate, with the reasoning shown.

Agent 04

Executive Synthesis Agent

Writes the supplier onboarding into a defensible record for customs and the tax authority, with the audit trail attached.

Verify Once. Share Often.

A cleared supplier becomes a profile the whole network can reuse.

Each completed onboarding turns into a compliance profile the supplier controls and can share. The next buyer that needs that supplier starts ahead, collecting only the delta instead of the whole file.

06 · After the supplier is active

Entity lists grow. Thresholds move. The platform keeps pace.

A supplier cleared today can appear on an entity list tomorrow, or cross a threshold as ownership shifts. Compliable.ai keeps watching, so a change becomes an alert, not a surprise at the border or in an audit.

Continuous re-screening

Active suppliers and their owners are re-screened on your schedule and the moment the entity list or a sanctions list changes.

List and threshold events

An entity-list addition or an ownership change that crosses a threshold triggers a fresh look automatically, on rules you set.

Renewal without restart

An annual review reuses the existing file. The supplier provides only what changed.

Protect the project at the point you choose a supplier.

We will run one of your supplier types through the power and renewables template, from document upload to a defensible decision, in a live walkthrough.
