The Brief

What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.

How can BeanChain design a cost-effective blockchain pilot that provides credible traceability for its Colombian coffee supply chain and demonstrates a clear business case?

This is not a research exercise. It is the work a researcher does to produce findings that withstand scrutiny. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates summarize papers and none who have produced original findings under expert review.

When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."

Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate

Evaluate blockchain platforms for supply chain traceability use cases
Design a data capture and verification process across multiple tiers
Quantify the business case for transparency investments
Develop a pilot project plan with risk mitigation

Canonical roles

Supply Chain Analyst
Every product on a shelf is the visible tip of a forecast, a routing decision, and a procurement contract negotiated months earlier. Supply chain analysts work inside that hidden machinery. The role mixes demand forecasting (ARIMA, exponential smoothing, the occasional ML model) with Lean Six Sigma discipline and a lot of cross-functional conversation: procurement wants one thing, sales wants another, operations wants both yesterday. Strong analysts pair Excel comfort with genuine curiosity about how physical things move. Students who liked operations research or industrial engineering tend to enjoy this discipline, and so do those who simply like solving puzzles with constraints. Growth comes from owning a forecast that real money rides on and learning, gracefully, when it's wrong.
