Turning electronics sourcing disruptions into executive signal.
TraceLayer is a disruption-handler for electronics sourcing. It is a mobile-first platform that ingests an OEM’s most critical semiconductor parts and maps them against real-world supply disruption events, translating those events into company-specific impact and clear executive signal. TraceLayer provides a lightweight command center for tracking and resolving high-impact events, sitting cleanly on top of existing SCM, engineering, and communications tools. It is not an engineering platform, not designed for mass-market passive components, and not a comprehensive SCM system or multi-commodity solution..
TraceLayer is currently in development, with a prototype estimated to launch by EOY 2026.This is a prototype for signal detection and executive workflow, developed as an independent research project in conjunction with MITx Supply Chain Management.In the meantime, please visit Neil Hawke's Substack (The Hidden Layer), which discusses hard tech, semiconductors, and updates in the world of frontier tech.
