System Documentation¶
WAZI is a due diligence and supply intelligence system for gold supply chains, with initial focus on Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) contexts.
WAZI enables supply chain actors to evaluate sourcing opportunities, apply and document due diligence, monitor risks over time, and generate credible reporting linked to shipments and their upstream value chains.
How WAZI Works¶
WAZI structures due diligence as a continuous, system-driven process rather than a fragmented or retrospective exercise. Information is progressively compiled, evaluated, updated, and made ready for communication — grounded in documented processes and evidence rather than informal assurances.
The system is organised around five interconnected modules:
| Module | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Self-Assessment | Document your organisational profile, governance, and management systems |
| Onboarding | Structure potential sourcing relationships before engagement begins |
| Due Diligence | Compile information for continuous evaluation and risk management |
| Operations | Manage workforce, production records, and shipment documentation |
| Reporting | Generate structured outputs linked to sourcing transactions |
Assessment Methodologies¶
WAZI uses algorithmic assessment to produce consistent, transparent, and explainable results across large numbers of supply chain participants and sites.
- Stakeholder Evaluation — evaluates supply chain actors through entity-intrinsic data
- Location Evaluation — evaluates mine sites across OECD Annex II domains
- Supply Profile Scoring — consolidates stakeholder and location assessments into composite sourcing risk
Analysis Tools¶
Built-in analysis providing structured views across all compiled information:
- Aggregator Dashboard — central entry point with key metrics and visualisations
- Supply Chain View — geographic visualisation of trade relationships
- Sourcing Overview — value chain-level analysis
- Counterparty Review — entity-level stakeholder analysis
- Mine Review — location-level site analysis
Compliance Alignment¶
WAZI aligns with international responsible sourcing frameworks:
- OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas
- LBMA Responsible Gold Guidance
