# Supplier Distress Signals: free sample (Tensorust LLC)

6,229 distress signals at 1,247 federal contractors: new lawsuits, SAM exclusions, careers-page and site changes, joined to UEI.

**Headline:** Suppliers usually fail in public before they fail on paper, and a prime's supply chain team answers for the vendor it did not see coming.

This repository is a **free teaser**, not the dataset. It holds 25 example rows and a summary table with no names in it. The full file has **6,229 rows** and is sold by Tensorust LLC: **[https://tensorust.com/datasets/supplier-web-distress/](https://tensorust.com/datasets/supplier-web-distress/)**.

## Method and limits

The company_health camera checks each watched contractor every day and records a change only when something differs from the last pass. Court matches use the company's legal name against case captions (match_confidence is kept). In court captions, a party that is not an organization is replaced with [individual]. Homepage changes are recorded as counts of changed lines, not page text.

Not a credit rating or a prediction of failure, and not evidence of wrongdoing: a court case is an allegation and many site changes are routine. Not a consumer report; it covers companies only and must not be used for decisions about individuals. Court captions have individual party names removed.
