The $2.5 Trillion Problem

Global trade moves $32 trillion annually, yet the systems that finance it remain largely manual. After more than a decade of “digital-trade” initiatives, most transactions still rely on PDFs, email threads, and human review.

Digitisation solved document formatting — not understanding.

Without shared context across laws, policies, and data models, progress plateaued.

TradeQu explores the missing layer:
contextual intelligence that reasons across documents, jurisdictions, and policies — safely and explainably.

Why Now

Regulatory Clarity

The EU AI Act and Basel IV frameworks define clear expectations for explainable AI in finance. Governance is no longer optional.

Our Core Principles

Every layer of our system follows the same principles — transparent, explainable, and built for regulated environments.

Policy as Code

Rules become executable logic.

Compliance frameworks encoded at source.

Updates propagate automatically across jurisdictions.

Compliance by Design

No Hallucinations. Full Auditability.

Every rule is encoded directly into the workflow — not added after the fact.

Every answer cites its source. Every decision can be explained.

How TradeQu Thinks

TradeQu’s reasoning engine understands both context and policy, turning complex trade data into auditable answers.

Step 1 — Query

Ask in plain English. Get sourced answers.

Natural-language and voice interfaces connect directly to verified trade data. Every response cites its source — no hallucinations, only grounded facts. Example: “What’s our exposure to Southeast Asian textiles?”

Step 2 — Reason

AI agents that understand policy — not just patterns.

Autonomous compliance checks, discrepancy detection, and transparent explanations. UCP 600, AML, and sanctions rules are encoded directly into decision logic.

What We're Building Next

These prototypes are early signals of what’s possible.
We’re building the reasoning infrastructure for regulated finance — auditable, adaptable, and grounded in verified data.

Status: Active research. All prototypes operate within a safety-first framework — every workflow logged, auditable, and regulator-ready by design.

The Architecture Foundation

Trade finance operates across more than 150 jurisdictions, each with unique legal frameworks, compliance rules, and data standards.

Traditional systems see documents — TradeQu sees meaning.

Our architecture is built around two core components designed for explainable, policy-aware reasoning.

The Trade Graph

Connects entities, documents, obligations, and regulations — enabling real-time reasoning across your trade network.

The Policy Store

Encodes UCP rules, sanctions, and bank policies as versioned, executable logic — always traceable, always explainable.

Together, they enable:

Context-aware reasoning that understands both the transaction and the rules that govern it — delivering explainable, audit-ready intelligence for regulated finance.
