STC Knowledgebase
The structured foundation for strategic trade intelligence
TradeStrategic's proprietary dataset on strategic trade control systems—original research encoded for machine use, not a licensed third-party feed
The STC Knowledgebase encodes TradeStrategic's research on export controls, sanctions, and strategic trade systems into a machine-readable dataset—legislation, systems, and treaty data across 190+ countries, including verified records for 70+ STC adopter states.
It is built from primary sources: national legislation, licensing regimes, control lists, institutional structures, and treaty membership—synthesized into a coherent body of structured intelligence that supports both human analysis and AI applications.
