Companies are really struggling to optimise their suppliers, it is pretty hard. If they start on bill of materials they can often sort by most common parts and then it becomes a graph problem finding “cheapest” paths between often traversing four tables bom <> parts <> suppliers <> tariffs.
The really hard part is mapping parts down to sku level to tariff codes. Specially at scale (think datasets with many million rows).
Either way we built https://www.searchtariff.com/?q=lights as an entry point and and have been getting more and more worried with the market as we help companies out. They are not ready for this at all and it is bitting deep. Let us know if you also need help mapping products to tariffs, we have a product for that!
Alternatively we also welcome feedback!
I wonder when we are going to start seeing proper effects of all these tariffs in the market.

Similar to a company emitting new shares to pay employees. It's the shareholders who are paying the cost via dilution.
I hope you like it, I'm very receptive to feedback, feel free to opinionate ;)
I'm curious of what will be the results.
