Monitor supplier financial distress and risk with Bright Data, OpenRouter and Google Sheets

Description This workflow automatically scans companies for signs of financial distress across filings, insolvency registers, and financial news. It helps procurement, credit, and risk teams detect early warning signals before a supplier or partner defaults.

Overview This workflow uses Bright Data to scrape financial filings, insolvency registers, and news sources for distress signals like bankruptcy, restructuring, or payment defaults.

AI classifies the type and severity of distress, applies probability weighting and confidence guardrails, then generates structured business decisions — including:

- Supplier Monitoring risk status - Onboarding Approval recommendations - Portfolio Exposure classifications

All outputs are logged into Google Sheets for tracking and auditability.
