Three questions open sources alone rarely settle.
Who really owns this supplier — and is the facility where it says?
Ownership links traced through public registries, trade data and local-language media, then checked against U.S. restricted-party lists. Where the record runs out, a scoped site check confirms the facility exists.
Is the plant operating, expanding or idle?
Satellite thermal anomalies, shipping and hiring signals, and on-site observation from public locations — combined into one graded judgment.
What changed since the last report — and how sure are we?
Every judgment carries an ICD 203 likelihood term, a separate confidence statement and Admiralty-graded sources, so a change in assessment is visible and traceable.

The deadlines driving supplier scrutiny.
Each rule below turns a question about a supplier's ownership, origin or equipment into a compliance question for the program.

The format of a HELIOS AEGIS assessment brief. The facility and details below are fictional.
BOTTOM LINE
Production at Facility A has likely (55–80%) resumed since 28 September. We have moderate confidence in this judgment: two independent thermal detections and one on-site observation support it, but no shipping data is yet available.
WHAT WE SAW
B2Satellite thermal detections at the site on 29 Sep and 1 Oct (NASA FIRMS VIIRS).
C3Regional trade outlet reports night-shift hiring at the plant.
FIELD2 Oct: trucks entering the loading bay, observed from a public road; photo screened for manipulation, provenance kept.
ASSUMPTION · WHAT WOULD CHANGE THIS
We assume the heat reflects production rather than maintenance. Shipping records showing no outbound cargo by 15 October would lower this assessment.
