We have been the person holding the spreadsheet.

In 2024, our co-founder spent three months helping an East African beverage manufacturer prepare for a KEBS audit. The team was good, three audits passed in five years, but the program was held together by a person and a spreadsheet. Both could disappear in a week, and a year of audit-readiness with them.

We started CompStack because that pattern repeats everywhere. The teams are capable and the regulators keep raising the bar. What has not moved is the tooling, which is still a folder and somebody's memory.

So we built the thing that was missing. Standards become structured data, every record links to the evidence behind it, and the audit trail assembles itself out of the day's work.
