[Beta] DataCube
DataCube is an advanced way to navigate your Global Trade Control Tower network across many dimensions at once, for analysts who need more flexibility than the standard areas provide. It includes the Multi-Tier Analyst Agent, which answers questions about your network in plain language and can generate summary reports. DataCube is currently offered to early-adopter customers.
When to use DataCube
- When the predefined Tariffs and Resilience areas don't slice your network the way a specific question needs.
- When you want to explore dependencies across products, parts, suppliers, materials, countries, and exposures together.
- When you'd rather ask a question in plain language and have the view configured for you, with a summary you can share.
Before you start
- DataCube and the Multi-Tier Analyst Agent are offered to early-adopter customers; availability depends on how your organization is set up.
- Your supply-chain data must be uploaded with the supply-chain data template and processed.
How it works
- Choose the data to include — such as exposures, direct and sub-tier supplier risk, material concentration, supplier events, market share, or supply-chain paths.
- Add filters and grouping to isolate what you care about, then run the query.
- View the results as a Table, on a Canvas, or as supply-chain Paths.
- Ask the Multi-Tier Analyst Agent a question in plain language to configure the view for you, and generate a summary report to share.
Outputs and interpretation
You get flexible views of your network and, from the Multi-Tier Analyst Agent, written answers and summary reports. The agent's answers are derived from your network data, including inferred sub-tier connections; check them against the underlying data before you rely on them. Treat a summary as a starting point for review, not a final determination.
Constraints and caveats
- DataCube is an early-adopter capability; the available views and behavior may be limited.
- Agent answers reflect the data available in your network; review the supporting data before acting.
- Inferred connections carry varying confidence.
