Why SmarterTariff?
Every risk line. One view.
Regulatory, operational, and reputational risk — consolidated in one place, not fragmented across vendors.
The Checkout Convergence — the question Founder Chris Edwards asked himself reading an invoice and its terms of service
If an AI agent has the agency:
- To evaluate a Product,
- Opt someone in to Terms of Service,
- Use a Physical Credit Card in my wallet,
- Calculate global tariffs, and
- Execute a legally binding transaction,
then it is performing the digital equivalent of a Primary User’s work — hitting the exact points that block assistive technology. A screen reader and an AI shopping agent are the same user, and 2025 EU regulation requires those consequential pixels be visible, auditable, and usable for all.
His Day 1 approach started with a question: if a system’s principles are universal, who actually counts as covered by them? Who are the users?
One scan, one platform — the checks behind it

- AI VisibilityWhether autonomous AI shopping agents can find and complete your checkout.
- Logistics & Disaster RiskSupply-chain and logistics disruption exposure across your sourcing.
- Domestic SourcingMade-in-America and CUSMA-compliant Canadian sourcing signals.
- Merchant of RecordCharge-descriptor and phantom-invoice risk in the buying flow.
- TOS “House of Cards”If shoppers can't access checkout, your terms of service may be unenforceable.
Inclusivity as Infrastructure.
· AI AGENTS ARE THE NEW ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY ·
AI-powered shopping is no longer a roadmap item — major platforms have already shipped autonomous agents that navigate, compare, and transact on the open web. When they hit the same barriers that trip up screen readers, the sale simply doesn’t happen. That overlap is the opportunity.
Every fix that makes your checkout navigable for assistive technology also makes it navigable for commerce agents, and billions of users, for an inclusive economy.
Built ahead of the market to make that inclusive future a reality — by design.
