Trade & supply-chain riskRecorded demo

Test a trade shock before it hits your business

Explore trade dependencies, shocks and chokepoints in one model. Ask in plain language and see who wins, who loses and what cascades, with heavy trade analytics dropping from hours to short response times.

The business problem

Disruptions move faster than the analysis

Global trade is a web of interdependencies across countries, sectors and shipping routes. When an embargo, tariff or blocked route hits, analysing it is slow and fragmented.

How it works

One model, simulated shocks, plain-language answers

Flows, dependencies, chokepoints and risk stay together, so a scenario question is answered from one place.

  1. Model

    One graph of everything

    Trade flows, dependencies, chokepoints and risk live in a single connected model.

  2. Simulate

    Run the shock

    Apply embargoes, tariffs, supply failures and blockages, and see winners, losers and cascades.

  3. Ask

    Ask in plain language

    An AI assistant turns trade questions into answers, for experts and executives alike.

What leaders get

Answers while the shock is still unfolding

For a chief risk officer, treasurer or head of supply chain, the value is time, and a clearer view of second-order effects.

  • From hours to short response times. Heavy trade analytics become fast enough to investigate and respond as events develop.

  • Cascades you can see. Winners, losers and knock-on effects of a scenario appear together, not in separate reports.

  • Questions in business language. Executives can ask directly, while experts keep the model and its assumptions under review.

Products involved

What it is built with

These roles show how the use case fits the NatusAI architecture. They do not imply that the reference deployment used every product.

  • NatusAI CygnusPlanned v1The connected data foundation for graph, time, location and search data
  • NatusAI AurigaRoadmapAI coordination for assisted analysis and the plain-language assistant
  • NatusAI LyraAvailableInterface components for operational views, maps and dashboards

What you can buy today: a delivery engagement led by our team, built on the engine proven in our client projects, with NatusAI Lyra interfaces. Products marked Roadmap show where the platform is going; we share dates under NDA.

Status: this trade-simulation example is an illustrative scenario on the same engine as our client projects. It shows an analogous architecture, not a delivered NatusAI deployment.

Sovereignty, governance and security at NatusAI

For your technical team
  • Graph-native model: trade flows, dependencies, chokepoints and risk in a single graph.
  • Scenario types: embargo, tariff, supply failure and route blockage, with winners, losers and cascades derived from the same graph.
  • An AI assistant answers trade questions in plain language on top of the same model.
  • Mapped roles: NatusAI Cygnus (planned language, database and backend foundation for graph, temporal, geospatial and search data), NatusAI Auriga (AI coordination for assisted analysis and agent interactions), NatusAI Lyra (existing interface system).

    Questions

    Global trade simulation: questions leaders ask

    More answers on deployment, governance and pricing in our FAQ.

    Which trade shocks can the simulation test?

    Embargoes, tariffs, supply failures and route blockages. Winners, losers and cascades are derived from the same connected graph of trade flows, dependencies and chokepoints.

    Do executives need a query language to use the trade model?

    No. An AI assistant answers trade questions in plain language on top of the same model, while experts keep the model and its assumptions under review.

    Is the trade simulation a delivered client project?

    No. It is an illustrative scenario on the same engine as our client projects, shown as a recorded demo. It shows an analogous architecture, not a delivered NatusAI deployment.

    Talk to our team

    What shock would you test first?

    Bring the scenario that worries your board: a sanction, a tariff, a closed strait. We will show how it would be modelled and what the answer would look like.

    • Start with a scoped discovery phase that ends in a clear go / no-go decision.
    • Bring one real question; we show where AI helps and how we would measure it.
