Short answer
Foresight maps alerts to products and substances by comparing structured regulatory signals with customer context such as product categories, substances, materials, markets, suppliers, and team priorities. Where exposure is uncertain, the workflow should make that uncertainty visible for review.
What Gets Matched
A source may mention a named substance, a substance group, a product category, a hazard class, a market, or a type of obligation.
Foresight's job is to connect those signals to the customer's footprint where the data supports it.
Why Uncertainty Matters
Regulatory matching is not always binary. A team may know a product category is exposed but not yet know which suppliers or SKUs contain a material.
A responsible system keeps those states distinct so reviewers can follow up.
Frequently asked questions
Can Foresight work with incomplete data?
Yes. It can start with available context and improve as substance, product, market, supplier, and feedback data improves.
Does mapping decide legal applicability?
No. Mapping helps identify possible relevance. Final applicability decisions need expert review against the specific facts.
