Iterative SystemsSupplier discovery
Organizing public manufacturer information around the capabilities, materials, and processes buyers need to find.

Making
manufacturing data
easier to use.
Iterative Systems is Chip Moreno’s software and automation practice. Current work in Taiwan: turning public manufacturer information into source-linked capability data for buyers, developers, and AI tools.
Supplier discovery · Capability evidence · SoftwarePublic sources. Clear context.
01 / Current focus
From manufacturer pages
to useful data.
Working with PCB and precision machining information to make supplier research easier to search, compare, and trace back to its sources.
Capability evidence
Preserving source links, dates, conditions, and unknowns. Manufacturer-published claims stay distinct from independently confirmed capabilities.
Searchable tools
Building searchable data and exploring API and MCP access so developers and AI tools can use manufacturer information with the evidence attached.
02 / Current projects
Public sources.
Usable evidence.
Small research prototypes to explore what useful manufacturer data should contain, and where it still needs confirmation.
PCB Capability Evidence
Public research prototypeAn initial study of Champion Asia Group’s published PCB capabilities at its mainland China production sites, with source links and evidence status.
Taiwan CNC Supplier Finder
In developmentAn early prototype for matching buyer requirements with documented precision machining supplier information.
03 / Operating experience
Real businesses.
Concrete problems.
Chip builds and operates service and media businesses. Their everyday work—documents, customer questions, payments, and publishing—grounds the software and automation practice in concrete operating problems.

04 / The approach
Start with the work.
Improve the system.
The goal is more capacity with less coordination. Start with a specific problem, build something useful, and learn from how it behaves.
Find the friction.
Follow the work. Identify repeated steps, missing context, and decisions that need a person.
Make one part better.
Use straightforward software where it fits. Explore agents where reasoning and tool use can help.
Test against reality.
Watch for failures, evaluate the result, and improve the workflow before expanding it.
05 / Research conversations
Let’s compare notes.
In Taiwan, I’d like to compare notes with PCB manufacturers, precision machining companies, and procurement teams. Tell me how you publish, find, or assess supplier capability information.
