--- title: TradingSmart — Commodity Trading & Due Diligence Platform url: https://cyanwaybusiness.com/ description: TradingSmart manages commodity deals, sourcing and shipments, and validates counterparty documents against official registries before contracts are signed. updated: 2026-09-23 publisher: Cyanway Business --- # Know who you are trading with before you sign. TradingSmart manages the full commodity-trading cycle and checks every counterparty document against official registries — producing explained red flags and a report your bank can verify. ## Built for commodity trading companies, trade-finance banks and intermediaries ## Evidence, not opinions. Every verdict in TradingSmart can be traced to a standard, a document and a person. That is what makes a report acceptable to a bank. ### Deterministic validation TradingSmart verifies check digits for passports, registry numbers and IBANs with published standards — not probabilistic guesses. ### Complete audit trail Every risk decision records who made it, when, and why. Dismissed findings stay visible, struck through. Nothing is ever deleted. ### Bank-shareable evidence Each analysis is frozen with a SHA-256 hash and shared through a secure, revocable read-only link — no login required. ## From document package to verdict in seven steps. TradingSmart reads a counterparty's full package and confronts what it **declares** with what official registries **show**. [Explore the Due Diligence engine →](https://cyanwaybusiness.com/due-diligence.html) 1. **Upload** — The analyst uploads the counterparty's document package — PDFs and images, in any order. 2. **Read** — TradingSmart reads native text directly and runs vision OCR on scanned pages. 3. **Classify** — Each document is typed and marked Official, Declared or Ignore. An analyst overrides any side in one click. 4. **Validate** — Deterministic code checks every identifier against its published standard. 5. **Cross-check** — Declared data is confronted with official registries, passports in the package and screening results. 6. **Score** — Findings resolve into three deterministic buckets on an executive scorecard. 7. **Report** — A styled or sober bank-grade HTML/PDF report is frozen with SHA-256 and shared by secure link. > “AI reads. Deterministic code decides. Humans stay accountable.” Language models (Anthropic, OpenAI) only transcribe fields verbatim. Any value that does not literally appear in the source text is discarded. All risk verdicts come from deterministic code. “Not verifiable” is an honest answer — the system never invents an OK. Analysts review, override or dismiss findings. Every action records who, when and why. ## A deal that looked complete — until the IBAN didn't add up. 1. ReceivedA full package: FCO, Client Information Sheet, business license and bank certificate. Every page looked right. 2. CheckedTradingSmart ran the ISO 13616 mod-97 check on every IBAN in the package and compared them with each other. 3. FoundThe IBAN on the CIS was invalid and did not match the bank certificate. 4. OutcomeThe contract was never signed. Generic account. Client details withheld. Values on a supplied registry extract differed from the official registry. A tampered registration number failed its check digit. ## The whole commercial cycle, in one place. From first offer to shipped container — with due diligence built into the pipeline, not bolted on. ### Deals & Pipeline Track offers and deals by stage on a Kanban board. ### Sourcing Record supplier sources and quotes. ### Shipments Follow shipments linked to deals. ### Companies & Persons Keep one registry of every counterparty. ### Drafting with guardrails Controlled internal assistants draft and analyze LOI, ICPO, FCO and contracts, with reusable templates and audit logging.

[Read all 10 questions →](https://cyanwaybusiness.com/faq.html) ### What is TradingSmart? TradingSmart is a web platform for commodity trading companies, developed by Cyanway Business. It manages deals, pipeline, sourcing, shipments, counterparties and commodity specs, and runs document-based counterparty due diligence before contracts are signed, producing explained red flags, an executive scorecard and a report that can be shared with a bank. ### How does TradingSmart detect document fraud? TradingSmart compares what a counterparty declares in its documents with what official registries show. Deterministic validators check passport MRZ digits (ICAO 9303), China USCC, Brazil CNPJ and IBAN (ISO 13616), and the engine flags conflicts across the package, such as two different IBANs for the same account or altered registry values. ### What is counterparty due diligence in commodity trading? Counterparty due diligence is the verification of a buyer, seller or intermediary before a contract is signed. It confirms the company legally exists, that its signatories are who they claim to be, that bank details are consistent, and that the company and people do not appear in sanctions lists or adverse court records. ### Which documents can TradingSmart validate? TradingSmart classifies and reads LOI, ICPO, FCO, CIS/KYC forms, contracts, business licenses, registry extracts (China GSXT, Brazil CNPJ card and generic registries such as Pakistan FBR or Bulgaria), passports, bank letters and screening printouts, in PDF or image form, using native text and vision OCR for scanned pages. ## See your next counterparty through TradingSmart.
