Export-Control-Aware Engineering Knowledge Assistant

A defence manufacturer's engineering knowledge is spread across decades of drawings, test reports and specifications, much of it controlled under national export rules, ITAR or EU dual-use regulation. Engineers cannot search it with a public AI tool, and cannot share it across sites without a compliance check.

The challenge

What stands in the way

A defence manufacturer's engineering knowledge is spread across decades of drawings, test reports and specifications, much of it controlled under national export rules, ITAR or EU dual-use regulation. Engineers cannot search it with a public AI tool, and cannot share it across sites without a compliance check.
The solution

How Scrydon solves it

A retrieval assistant runs inside the company's own environment, indexes the engineering corpus with its classification and export markings, and answers each engineer only from documents they are cleared and licensed to see.
In practice

How this plays out

The most valuable document in a defence programme is usually the one from a previous programme that solved the same problem. Finding it means knowing it exists, and then establishing whether the engineer asking is a national of a country the licence covers, at a site the licence covers, working on a programme the licence covers.

The platform indexes the corpus with every document's classification and export marking as first-class metadata, and enforces those markings at retrieval time. An engineer asks in plain language and gets an answer assembled only from documents their clearance, nationality and programme allow, with citations, so the answer can be checked against the source. A question that would need documents outside their entitlement returns nothing from them, and the attempt is logged.

Because the models and the index stay inside the company's own perimeter, the assistant itself does not become an export event, and the log gives the export-control officer a record of every controlled retrieval.

The result
  • Engineers find the precedent in minutes instead of asking around, and every retrieval is logged against the marking that permitted it.
