How Vein Explorer works

Vein Explorer helps you map what a product depends on, where risk concentrates, and which public markets are exposed — without spreadsheets or manual research.

What is Vein Explorer?

Vein Explorer is a supply chain intelligence tool. Enter any product, component, or service and Vein builds an interactive dependency tree: upstream inputs, criticality, tradeable tickers, and hidden chokepoints.

Problems it solves

  • Hidden single points of failure in complex products
  • Unclear upstream exposure for investors and analysts
  • Slow manual decomposition for procurement and operations teams
  • Difficulty monitoring portfolio overlap with supply-chain risk
  • Scattered research that is hard to share across a team

How a trace works

1. Start with a query

Type a product name (e.g. "Electric Vehicle", "Data Center", "iPhone") on Explore or via the API.

2. Review the root breakdown

Vein returns a root node with child dependencies, summaries, and optional tickers at each level.

3. Expand nodes

Click any unexpanded node to go one level deeper. Repeat until you reach raw materials or commodities.

4. Act on insights

Use rank, chokepoint panels, portfolio overlap, alerts, exports, or share links for your workflow.

Use cases

Investor / analyst

Find market exposure behind a theme or product

  1. Trace the product on Explore
  2. Expand high-criticality branches
  3. Review tickers and chokepoint flags
  4. Add symbols to your watchlist and run portfolio overlap

Operator / procurement

Map supplier and material dependencies

  1. Trace your SKU or subsystem
  2. Expand until you see raw inputs and concentration
  3. Export JSON or CSV for internal briefs
  4. Share a read-only link with stakeholders

Team lead

Collaborate on supply-chain research

  1. Create a workspace and assign traces
  2. Comment on specific nodes
  3. Compare two traces side by side
  4. Set alert rules for chokepoint keywords

Developer

Automate traces in your pipeline

  1. Create an API key on the API page
  2. POST /v1/public/traces with your query
  3. Expand nodes programmatically
  4. Store graph JSON in your systems
