Reconstruction
Three desks. Evidence before intelligence.
Platform comparison, 2 Oct 2026. Used as an operating rule, not as evidence that those platforms' results belong to AURION.
Current bottleneck: Trusted supply, structured products, verified evidence, a usable marketplace, buyer acquisition, transactions, and export execution.
Order: Identity → Evidence → Transactions → Data → Intelligence → Automation. Not AI first.
E-commerce
Auriexpress
Discovery of Ethiopian products with claimed origin. Not a race to millions of cheap SKUs.
Export hub
AuriBulk
Digital export desk: discover, verify, RFQ, document. Not a second consumer shop.
Make and brand
AURION Jewelry
A manufacturing and brand desk. Contribution is metal, stones, labor and logistics — not marketplace GMV.
Release ladder
A release is not production-ready until it passes Functional → Security → Data → Reconciliation → Audit → Disaster recovery → Operations → Evidence. None of these rows has passed that bar.
| Release | Deliverable | Status | Fact |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1 Foundation | Identity, roles, audit | partial | Better Auth and a staff gate exist. No tenant-wide row security. |
| R2 Trust | KYB, evidence, passports | partial | Shopper KYC is a prototype. Export lines stay not filed. No supplier KYB. |
| R3 Catalog | Structured catalog and claimed origin | partial | House catalog with Trace IDs. Origin is claimed, not independently certified. |
| R4 Commerce | Listings, cart, orders, payments | demo | Demo orders only. No payment-system operator. |
| R5 HUB trade | RFQ through export workflow | partial | RFQ and a document checklist exist. No contract, inspection, or customs filing. |
| R6 Logistics | Shipment and tracking | not-built | No live carrier booking. |
| R7 Intelligence | Copilots and semantic search | not-built | Blocked until evidence exists. Rank rules are not a copilot. |
| R8 Jewelry manufacturing | BOM, metal ledger, QC | not-built | Jewelry is a brand desk, not a live factory ledger. |
| R9 Optimization | Demand sensing and fraud graph | not-built | No demand graph and no fraud graph. |
| R10 Scale | Ads, enterprise API, trade finance | not-built | Not started. Not labelled production-ready. |
