Regulatory framework registration
Records the applicable regulation, version, effective date, commodity scope, jurisdiction and evidence requirements. Every subsequent capability references this record.
Supply Chain Sovereignty
When a shipment is challenged, evidence must speak for itself.
A due diligence statement is only as defensible as the evidence behind it. AAB builds a governed evidence chain — traceable from the plot of land to the export declaration — so every admission decision, every gap, and every custody event is permanently on record.
Registration is not verification. Documents are not chains. AAB records what is known, what is uncertain, and what is missing — without papering over gaps that regulators will find anyway.
Why existing tools are not enough
A certificate is not a chain of evidence.
Most EUDR compliance tools produce certificates and checklists. They assert compliance. AAB produces a governed evidence record that shows exactly what was admitted, when, by whom, on what evidence, with what gaps disclosed, and what human decisions were made along the way.
When a customs authority challenges a shipment, the question is not whether you filed a due diligence statement. The question is whether the evidence behind it can be traced, examined and defended. AAB is designed to make that defence possible.

The eight governed capabilities
Each capability is separately designed. None assumes the others.
The supply chain sovereignty evidence chain is fully designed with canonical contracts for all eight capabilities. Implementation is not yet complete. AAB is seeking founding pilot partners to validate the governed evidence chain against a real supply chain and regulatory context.
Operator and supplier identity
Every party — operator, aggregator, processor, exporter — is a separately governed record. Registering a party does not verify them. Verification is separately evidenced, explicitly scoped, and always names what it does not cover.
Plot and land unit registration
Each plot is registered with geolocation coordinates, land tenure claim and commodity. A smallholder with GPS coordinates and no formal land title is admitted honestly — the gap is recorded, not concealed.
Deforestation evidence admission
Deforestation evidence is admitted at four temporal layers — historical baseline, pre-cutoff, post-cutoff and current observation. No layer is silently merged with another. Contradictions between layers are recorded, not resolved automatically.
Supply chain custody evidence
Custody events are admitted individually — purchases, transfers, weighings, transformations, splits and consolidations. Several admitted documents do not automatically constitute a continuous chain. Chain sufficiency is evaluated separately.
Due diligence sufficiency evaluation
Evaluates whether the collective admitted evidence is sufficiently continuous and consistent for the applicable framework. Records what is sufficient, what is insufficient, and what gaps remain — without resolving contradictions automatically.
Due diligence package compilation
A governed evidence package is compiled only after sufficiency has been evaluated and human review completed. The package is traceable to every admitted evidence record, every admission decision, and every disclosed gap.
Regulatory review and promotion
The completed package is reviewed by an authorised compliance officer before promotion. No package is promoted automatically. The reviewing officer's identity, authority and decision are permanently recorded.
Design complete. Implementation in progress.
All eight canonical contracts are designed and governed. AAB is not yet operational for production supply chain compliance. The first engagement is a paid discovery and controlled pilot.
The smallholder problem
Most tools exclude the people who matter most.
The majority of rubber, coffee and palm oil production in commodity-producing countries comes from smallholder farmers. Most EUDR compliance tools either exclude them — because they lack formal land titles, legal entity registration, or digital documentation — or paper over the gap with a certification that cannot survive regulatory scrutiny.
AAB admits smallholders honestly. A farmer with GPS coordinates and no formal land title is registered as a natural person with an explicit tenure gap disclosed. The compliance officer sees the real picture. SCS-06 evaluates whether that gap is material to the framework requirements for this commodity and this destination market.
Honest gap disclosure is not a weakness. It is the only approach that produces evidence packages defensible under regulatory challenge.
Authority boundary
Governed. Never automatic.
AAB can admit evidence, evaluate sufficiency, identify gaps and compile a traceable package. It cannot declare compliance, approve a shipment, or replace the authorised compliance officer's judgement.
The legally responsible human operator makes the due diligence statement. AAB makes the evidence behind it traceable and defensible.Evidence is admitted, not certified
Admitted evidence is genuine and attributable. Admission does not mean the chain is complete, the parties are verified, or the commodity is compliant.
Gaps are disclosed, not concealed
Missing evidence categories, unverified parties, approximate quantities and uncertain timing are recorded explicitly. SCS-06 evaluates whether they are material.
Evidence stays in the country
AAB deploys as a country-isolated environment. Supply chain evidence about a commodity producer does not leave that country's governed infrastructure.
Human review at every gate
No custody event is automatically admitted. No chain is automatically declared sufficient. No package is automatically compiled. Every transition has an authorised human decision.
Founding pilot
The first engagement is a paid discovery and controlled pilot.
AAB is seeking one carefully aligned founding partner — a national commodity authority, export board, agricultural ministry, or development programme — prepared to validate the governed evidence chain against a real supply chain and regulatory context.
Paid institutional discovery
- Understand the supply chain, evidence landscape and regulatory exposure
- Map the gap between current documentation and EUDR requirements
- Define the scope for a controlled pilot
- Fixed fee. Clear deliverables. No compliance claims.
Controlled supply chain pilot
- One commodity. One defined set of plots and operators.
- Admit deforestation evidence and custody events through AAB
- Evaluate chain sufficiency against the applicable framework
- Produce a governed evidence package — not a compliance certificate
