Verity-Nodes

Inspiration

Global supply chains are currently a "black box" of manual document checking and forensic gaps. With the introduction of the EU ESPR 2024/0455, companies are facing massive revenue fines for even minor compliance drifts. We were inspired to build a system that doesn't just "view" data, but autonomously audits it to secure international trade.

What it does

Verity-Nodes is an autonomous multi-agent audit network that uses Claude 3.5 Sonnet Vision to perform forensic-grade document extraction. It cross-references Invoices and Bills of Lading to detect fraud, calculates carbon footprints via Climatiq, and autonomously drafts "self-healing" corrective actions for non-compliant suppliers.

How we built it

The system is built on a modular "Agentic" architecture:

DeepAuditor: Orchestrates OCR and forensic analysis using Claude 3.5.

RegulatoryShield: Evaluates findings against legal directives to calculate financial exposure.

ActionAgent: Manages automated resolutions and human escalations.

Backend: Supabase handles real-time logging with custom Row Level Security (RLS) policies for secure, anonymous data persistence.

Challenges we ran into

One of our biggest hurdles was Data Collision. In early builds, different audit batches were overwriting each other in the database. We solved this by implementing a Unique Session ID logic that generates a new audit path for every shipment, ensuring 100% data integrity. Additionally, configuring Supabase RLS policies to allow for secure anonymous inserts while maintaining data privacy required surgical backend calibration.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We successfully built a "Logic Engine" capable of performing complex unit conversions—such as automatically reconciling 200 Cartons to 5,000 PCS—to eliminate false-positive fraud flags. Achieving a 0% Risk "Gold Standard" pass after identifying a €17.2M fraud attempt proved the system's enterprise readiness.

What we learned

We learned that AI agents are most effective when they have "Common Sense" guardrails. By teaching our agents to understand geographical abbreviations (like "BD" for Bangladesh) and chronological logistics (Production must happen before Invoicing), we significantly reduced audit friction.

What's next for Verity-Nodes

Our next milestone is integrating Digital Product Passports (DPP) using QR code serialization. We aim to move beyond document auditing into real-time hardware integration, allowing Verity-Nodes to verify the physical movement of goods at every sensor-enabled node in the supply chain.
