- Understand how a risk graph maps sub-tier supplier dependencies
- See how an ML-derived score forecasts risk rather than only reporting it
- Recognize Interos as a load-bearing-AI supply-chain-risk company
What Is Interos?
Interos is a supply-chain-risk-intelligence company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, used by large enterprises and government to see and manage risk across their supplier networks. In 2026 it launched a second-generation predictive platform, iQ, that scores and forecasts risk rather than only reporting it.
The genuine AI is a machine-learning-derived risk score — an i-Score — computed across six risk domains (financial, operational, cyber, governance, geographic, and more) over a graph of sub-tier supplier relationships. Mapping who depends on whom, several tiers deep, and predicting where disruption will strike is the core capability.
💡Key Concept
Sub-tier risk graph: Interos maps who depends on whom several tiers deep, then derives a machine-learning i-Score across six risk domains to predict where disruption will strike. The risk graph and predictive scoring are the product.
Core Capabilities
- Sub-tier supplier mapping — graphs dependencies several tiers deep.
- i-Score risk scoring — ML-derived score across six risk domains.
- Predictive risk (iQ) — forecasts risk rather than only reporting it.
- Enterprise and government scale — used across large supplier networks.
