System and Method for the Verification and Visualization of Subcomponents in a Product

A method for the verification and visualization of subcomponents in a product comprising:

• receiving upstream product component sourcing manifests from a plurality of disparate upstream source addresses,
• receiving one or more downstream product component sourcing manifests from one or more downstream source addresses,
• generating a master cryptographically verifiable ledger represented by a sequence of blocks, each block containing one or more transaction records and each subsequent block containing a hash value associated with the previous block, wherein each of the transaction records comprises the upstream product component sourcing manifests, the plurality of disparate upstream source addresses, one or more downstream product component sourcing manifests, and the one or more downstream source addresses,
• propagating the one or more transaction records across the network of interconnected computing devices, wherein each of the computing devices maintains a copy of the one or more transaction records,
• establishing a connection, by an interfacing electronic device to the network of interconnected computing devices,
• retrieving the one or more transaction records from one of the interconnected computing devices,
• extracting the upstream product component sourcing manifests, the plurality of upstream source addresses, one or more downstream product component sourcing manifests, and the one or more downstream sources addresses,
• instantiating a display tree graph structure based on the linear sequence of blocks in the master cryptographic ledger wherein branches correspond to the upstream product component sourcing manifests correlated with the plurality of disparate upstream source addresses and the downstream product component sourcing manifests correlated with the one or more downstream source addresses, and
• rendering the display tree graph structure in a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface comprises one or more navigational elements to traverse the one or more upstream sources and the one or more downstream sources.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for the verification and visualization of subcomponents in a product, having stored thereon, instructions that when executed in a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving upstream product component sourcing manifests from a plurality of disparate upstream source addresses,
• receiving one or more downstream product component sourcing manifests from one or more downstream source addresses,
• generating a master cryptographically verifiable ledger represented by a sequence of blocks, each block containing one or more transaction records and each subsequent block containing a hash value associated with the previous block, wherein each of the transaction records comprises the upstream product component sourcing manifests, the plurality of disparate upstream source addresses, one or more downstream product component sourcing manifests, and the one or more downstream source addresses;
• propagating the one or more transaction records across the network of interconnected computing devices, wherein each of the computing devices maintains a copy of the one or more transaction records,
• establishing a connection, by an interfacing electronic device to the network of interconnected computing devices,
• retrieving the one or more transaction records from one of the interconnected computing devices,
• extracting the upstream product component sourcing manifests, the plurality of upstream source addresses, one or more downstream product component sourcing manifests, and the one or more downstream sources addresses,
• instantiating a display tree graph structure based on the linear sequence of blocks in the master cryptographic ledger wherein branches correspond to the upstream product component sourcing manifests correlated with the plurality of disparate upstream source addresses and the downstream product component sourcing manifests correlated with the one or more downstream source addresses, and
