Use cases

Customs use cases linked to products and missions.

Each use case starts from an operational decision: what to target, how to classify, which file to reconstruct, which capability to transfer and how to measure the result.

Use cases

Concrete problems, clearly associated products.

The MAATAI Risk Management suite covers targeting, product classification, case reconstruction and auditability. Training and advisory missions complete the suite when a durable capability has to be installed.

Main product: MAATAI Sentinel

Improve control selectivity

The need is to prioritize declarations, operators or flows for control without slowing legitimate trade unnecessarily. Sentinel helps build explainable scores, compare profiles, track control outcomes and adjust rules through operational feedback.

Products used: MAATAI Sentinel, with MAATAI Forensic support when documentary justification must be deepened.

Main product: MAATAI Nomen

Support multilingual product classification

Commercial descriptions are often vague, multilingual or incomplete. Nomen helps officers connect descriptions, invoices, technical documents and tariff reasoning to produce a clearer and more defensible classification note.

Products used: MAATAI Nomen, with MAATAI Sentinel when classification also feeds risk targeting.

Main product: MAATAI Forensic

Reconstruct a complex customs case

When a case combines invoices, declarations, transport documents, value changes, sensitive origins or inconsistencies, Forensic helps reconstruct the timeline, reconcile documents and make discrepancies auditable.

Products used: MAATAI Forensic, with MAATAI Nomen for classification questions and MAATAI Sentinel to connect signals to the initial targeting decision.

Mission: data & AI training

Train teams in data-driven customs risk management

The training connects customs concepts — profiling, targeting, control outcomes, compliance and facilitation — with data and AI methods: data quality, indicators, models, explainability, limitations and production monitoring.

Products used: Sentinel, Nomen and Forensic as practical training supports. View the training offer.

Mission: AI strategy & digitalization

Frame a realistic AI roadmap for customs

The advisory work helps select use cases worth piloting, prioritize data readiness, define proportionate governance and build a roadmap that connects investment, operational value and risk control.

Products used: depending on scope, Sentinel, Nomen, Forensic and Useful AI scoping tools. View AI strategy advisory.

Full suite

Make decisions auditable

A good system does not stop at a score. It must document the data used, rules applied, explanations, human decision, overrides, control outcomes and subsequent adjustments.

Products used: Sentinel for targeting, Nomen for product logic, Forensic for documentary traceability.

A good use case must be measurable.

Before building, define which decision changes, which data proves it, which suite product applies and which limitation must remain visible.
