Tariff Impact Automation Suite™ · TIAS-199See Your Tariff Exposure Before It Hits Your Bottom Line

Neither. It's a procurement visibility system that combines executive dashboards, supplier risk monitoring, and financial exposure reporting into one workflow. A calculator returns a single rate; TIAS shows what that rate means across every supplier, country, and SKU.

No. It complements existing ERP and BI systems by providing procurement-specific tariff analytics without custom dashboard development -- ready-to-use dashboards built for procurement leaders, not a blank canvas built for analysts.

Yes. Every workbook has a Data Input tab for your procurement and tariff information, plus a Sample Data Input tab showing a fully worked example so you can see how the model behaves before entering live numbers.

No. Every workbook has a manual-entry Tariff Rates tab and an ERP Import Guide. If you own TAF-097, the Integration Guide tab auto-fills verified HTSUS 2026 rates in seconds; if not, you can enter rates by hand.

The suite is intentionally focused on visibility, not advanced strategic modeling. Three scenario snapshots provide operational insight while keeping deep, multi-year scenario planning in the next tier -- the Tariff Scenario Strategy Kit™ (TSSK-449).

It replaces the manual reporting tasks organizations often pay consultants to perform -- assembling supplier data, landed costs, and tariff information into executive reports -- while giving your internal team direct visibility. It replaces $10K--$25K in reporting work and does not constitute legal or customs advice.

TAF-097 ($97) is the data layer -- verified HTSUS 2026 rates. TIAS-199 (this suite) is the visibility layer -- dashboards, supplier risk, and exposure snapshots on that data. TSSK-449 ($449) is the strategy layer -- unlimited scenario planning and ranked sourcing decisions. TDM-1299 ($1,299) is the enterprise operating system -- analytics, compliance, and ERP integration in one connected system.

A dashboard is something you look at. A command center is something you run a decision from. Large organizations have started forming cross-functional "trade risk councils" specifically to manage tariff volatility in 2026, but most procurement teams don't have the headcount for a standing council. The Executive Interactive Command Center™ gives one person that same view: import, Overview, decision, in that order, without a committee.

It never goes anywhere, which is safer than most alternatives. The Command Center is a static file: no server, no login, no account to breach. When you click Import, your browser reads the .xlsx file directly off your hard drive and holds it in memory for that tab, the same way a browser-based Excel viewer works. Disconnect your wifi before you import and everything still works, because there's nothing to connect to. That's a test you can run yourself. It doesn't depend on a privacy policy.

You can restrict who opens the file the same way you would any sensitive spreadsheet: password-protect it at the file or OS level, or simply don't attach the live working file to the board email. What we won't do is sell you a fake lock. A JavaScript password prompt on a static HTML file can be bypassed with your browser's View Source, so any tool that dresses that up as "bank-level security" is selling you a feeling. The Command Center is built for one person working privately. When you're ready to present, use Presentation Mode to generate the deck, and share that instead.

Only if you stop touching the four workbooks underneath it -- and workbooks nobody updates go stale on their own, with or without a Command Center reading them. It's the front door to the four workbooks you already open when a rate changes or leadership asks a question: no separate account, no separate update cycle, no new habit to build. You import when you'd already be updating your data anyway.

Board decks usually get picked apart because three people pulled three exports on three different days, and nobody can say which one is current. The Executive Overview pulls every number from the same four workbooks each time you present, so what's on screen in the meeting still matches the file five minutes later. Consistency earns trust faster than a brand name on the toolbar.

Yes, and that is most of the point. Section 122, Section 301, and Section 232 rates have all moved through proposal, court challenge, and revision within the same year, and waiting for a rate to become official before you model it means you're always a step behind. The "Model a New Rate" view lets you enter a proposed or expected rate and see the impact across your real supplier and SKU data immediately, so by the time a change is confirmed, you already know what it costs you. It's the same discipline as the free 90-Day Tariff Risk Calendar™, applied inside your own numbers.
