The gap

Enterprise intelligence stops at the Fortune 500.
Your risk doesn't.

Analyst retainers run €30–100k a year and take a week to answer. News alerts don't know your supply chain. Somewhere between the two sits a CHF 200M industrial company with real exposure and no intelligence function. That's who Faro is built for.

The CFO
"What does this mean for our numbers?"
Sanctions land overnight. The board asks by Friday. Without a brief, the answer is a scramble of headlines and guesswork — presented as strategy.
Head of Procurement
"Which suppliers are actually exposed?"
A new Entity List drops with 8 Chinese firms on it. Someone has to check — Tier-1, Tier-2, alternates — before a purchase order becomes a compliance problem.
Head of Strategy
"Are we ahead of this or behind it?"
Red Sea routing, CBAM enforcement, Taiwan signalling — each one moves margins. Reading about it in the FT means the window to act has already narrowed.

Faro filters every global event through your exact exposure profile — and tells you what happened, why it matters to you, and what to do.

Xi's Taiwan warning escalates US-China decoupling risk for your operations
What happened
Xi warned Trump that mishandling Taiwan puts the entire US-China relationship in jeopardy. Taiwan was omitted from the US readout — a significant diplomatic signal.
Why it matters to you
Your supply chain profile shows semiconductor sourcing and Chinese manufacturing exposure. New export controls likely within 30–60 days.
Second-order effects
Watch for: new OFAC designations on Chinese tech entities, retaliatory tariffs hitting European exporters, logistics corridor disruption.

From the founder
"I built Faro because I couldn't find it."

I studied international management in Switzerland and spent years watching mid-market companies get blindsided by geopolitical events they should have seen coming. The tools that existed were built for Fortune 500 boards or finance desks — not for the CFO of a CHF 200M industrial company trying to protect their supply chain.

I grew up in Rome, moved to Switzerland, and became obsessed with the intersection of global politics and business risk. Faro is what I wish existed. Every brief is something I'd want to read myself.
