The Three Risks You Must Quantify: Material, Cost, and Information
Supply chain management is fundamentally about three things. Here's why you need to quantify each one—and what happens when you don't.
From guessing to knowing. Risk you can't quantify is risk you can't manage. We make risk visible, measurable, and actionable.

The REALM Platform
Every supply chain crisis traces back to unquantified risk in Material, Cost, or Information. REALM makes them visible.
Will you have product? ARMOR quantifies supply continuity risk with risk scores, time-to-runout calculations, and Tier 2 visibility. Know exactly where your supply is vulnerable before it fails.
Are you paying fair value? MACE quantifies cost risk with ingredient-level transparency tied to market indices. See the gap between fair value and what you're paying.
Can you see the truth? TOME is your intelligence hub that connects all data sources and ensures institutional knowledge never walks out the door.
The Problem
You find out about supply risk when you're already short. Stockouts, expedited freight, and lost customers are symptoms of risk you couldn't see.
Suppliers say "costs went up due to market conditions." But did they? Without visibility, margin erosion compounds quietly.
Tribal knowledge lives in people's heads. When they leave, it leaves. You're always starting over.
ARMOR gives you risk scores, time-to-runout, and Tier 2 visibility for every category.
MACE ties every ingredient to market indices. You see what the supplier sees.
TOME connects your data sources and preserves institutional knowledge forever.
Step 1: Pick a Category
Start with one high-spend, high-volatility category. We'll prove the value before you scale.
Step 2: Load Your Data
We connect to your existing systems and supplier data. No massive IT project required.
Step 3: See Your Risk Quantified
For the first time, see exactly where your Material, Cost, and Information risks live—in numbers you can act on.
Step 4: Take Action
Identify specific opportunities together. Then decide if it's worth expanding.
FAQs
Learn how REALM can help your organization quantify and manage supply chain risk.
REALM is a platform that quantifies supply chain risk across three dimensions: Material (ARMOR), Cost (MACE), and Information (TOME). It transforms guessing into knowing with measurable, actionable risk metrics.
ARMOR quantifies Material Risk—supply continuity intelligence. It provides risk scores for every category, time-to-runout calculations, and visibility into Tier 2/3 supplier dependencies you didn't know existed.
MACE quantifies Cost Risk—menu analysis and cost estimation. It ties every ingredient to market indices so you know fair value, validates price increases against PPI data, and measures supplier hedging performance.
TOME quantifies Information Risk—your intelligence hub. It connects all your data sources, preserves institutional knowledge, and ensures what you learn compounds over time instead of walking out the door.
Start with a 90-day pilot. Pick one category, and we'll show you your risk quantified for the first time. Real data, real results—not a demo with fake numbers. You'll see the value before you scale.
REALM was built by supply continuity professionals for supply continuity professionals. We've lived through commodity market swings, COVID disruptions, plant fires, and supplier opportunism. We built this because we needed it.
Perspectives on supply chain risk management, cost intelligence, and building supply chain resilience.
Supply chain management is fundamentally about three things. Here's why you need to quantify each one—and what happens when you don't.
You're not firefighting because you're bad at your job. You're firefighting because you can't see the fire until it's burning.
Let's prove it. Give us 90 days and a category. We'll quantify your risk and show you exactly what you're missing.
