A vendor’s clients are a client’s vendors.
The same evidence reads in both directions. Ask the Atlas about an account and it returns the bench. Ask it about a supplier and it returns the book, including the clients that supplier never published.
The relationship map holds more than a million dated supplier-to-client relationships, each with the work areas named, the technology used, the delivery location, first and most recent evidence, and a presence grade. It is read from public records the parties do not control.
1,906 technology suppliers on one US operator.
Graded on presence and trend, by business unit, with evidence by year back to 2018. Ten are current, 307 active, 572 cooling and 1,002 lapsed: a bench that was opened to hundreds of small firms and never consolidated.
Presence grades how recently the record last saw a supplier on the account, not how large the contract is. A supplier with no evidence for four years is a supplier the account stopped disclosing, which is a question rather than an answer.
Each bar is how much evidence placed that supplier on the account in that year. The shape is the relationship: a bench that grew hard in 2019, thinned through the pandemic and rebuilt from 2023. The record holds this for all 1,906 suppliers.
A supplier that publishes no client list still has one.
Neither company is named on this site. The point is the direction: the evidence that builds a client’s bench is the same evidence that builds a supplier’s book, and neither party controls it.
Six accounts, one method, very different benches.
US operators run large contractor benches and US disclosure makes that spend visible. Retailers and mid-market firms buy less through third parties and leave a thinner public trail. The record says which.
| Account | Suppliers on record | Presence | Largest live suppliers |
|---|---|---|---|
| US telecom operator (1) | 1,906 | 10 current · 307 active | Four global integrators, none above 10 percent |
| US telecom operator (2) | 1,058 | 16 current · 205 active | One integrator at 10 to 25 percent |
| Australian grocer | 60 | 4 current · 13 active | One integrator above 25 percent |
| US footwear group | 49 | 2 current · 7 active | An advisory firm above 25 percent |
| Asian retail group | 32 | 2 current · 8 active | Two advisory firms above 10 percent |
| US managed network provider | 26 | 0 current · 5 active | A carrier and a security vendor above 25 percent |

Common questions
Dated evidence that a supplier did work for a client: a disclosure naming the end client and worksite, a published panel, or a person describing their own work on the account. Each relationship carries first and most recent evidence, the work areas named, and a presence grade.
Share of work measures the weight of evidence naming a supplier, which is not contract value and not headcount. The wallet is sized separately and labeled as modeled.
Yes, because the same evidence reads in both directions. A supplier that publishes no client list still has one in the Atlas.
Eight years on US accounts, less where the public record is thinner. Every relationship shows its own span.
