Package Supply Chain Risk Monitor

A proposed public-data API and feed for teams that need open-source package advisories, version metadata, license signals, dependency changes, and source-linked risk flags in automation-friendly JSON or spreadsheet-ready CSV.

Validation Thesis

This concept is only built further if tracked requests, demo clicks, or marketplace intent justify the build.

Public Data Sources

The initial product would normalize public records into stable polling endpoints and exports.

Buyer Workflows

These are the specific self-serve workflows this page is testing before any backend is built.

Package advisory watchlist

Poll public advisory and package metadata sources for new risk records affecting packages a team already tracks.

Dependency and license change review

Surface source-linked release, dependency, deprecation, and license changes for spreadsheet or SBOM review queues.

Developer-tool enrichment

Normalize ecosystem, package, version, advisory, license, and source fields for tools that already own policy decisions.

Specific Workflow Tests

These pages test sharper buyer searches before implementation.

Monetization Hypothesis

Pricing only becomes meaningful after tracked demand appears. The first offer should stay narrow and low-touch.

Validation FAQ

Is this a live package security scanner?

No. This is a validation page. It tests demand for public package advisory and dependency-change data before building an API, scanner, or CSV feed.

Would it replace SCA, SBOM, or legal license review?

No. The proposed product would provide source-linked public data and normalized records only. Buyers remain responsible for policy, license, exploitability, and remediation decisions.
