Origin & supply chain

The Homeland Pledge

Plenty of companies say "Made in America." Very few will tell you what they mean by it. Here is exactly what we claim, what we do not, and where it is genuinely hard.

What we claim

American-owned and American-operated. The company, its officers and its work are in the United States.
Designed, engineered, assembled, and supported in the United States. The architecture, the code and the people answering your questions are all here.
No code or components from foreign adversary nations. Dependencies are checked for national origin before they enter the stack.
Built on a U.S.-anchored open-source stack. The foundations under our software are governed predominantly by U.S. organizations.

What we refuse to claim

We do not say "100% American-made." We used to. We stopped, because it is not defensible and we would rather be accurate than impressive.

The legal standard for an unqualified "Made in USA" claim is that all or virtually all of a product — traced back to raw materials — is of U.S. origin. No commercially available processor or storage drive on the market today meets that bar, no matter whose logo is on it. Software has the same problem one layer up: the open-source foundations everyone builds on have international contributors by design.

So we make specific claims we can substantiate instead of a broad one we cannot. That is a weaker sentence and a stronger promise.

Where it's genuinely hard

Silicon

Processors designed by American companies are fabricated overseas. Until that changes, hardware origin claims stay qualified — and we say "assembled" only where assembly genuinely happens in-house.

Open source

Some load-bearing components in our stack are governed outside the United States. We track which ones, we say so internally, and adversary-nation origin is a hard exclusion rather than a preference.

Certification

We are aligned to NIST SP 800-171 and preparing for CMMC Level 2. We are not certified, and we will not use the word "compliant" until an assessment earns it.

The longer aim

We would like to make the hard part easier.

The gaps above are not permanent facts about the world — they are facts about where things are currently built. Closing them domestically is a long-term goal of this company, not a slogan attached to it.
