What Sayari Labs does

Sayari Labs is a Washington, D.C.-based financial intelligence and supply chain risk software company founded in 2015 that provides primary-source corporate transparency, ownership intelligence, and trade compliance data across 250+ jurisdictions. Its platform is built on three foundation layers: (1) the Commercial World Model — 11.7B+ primary-source records covering 1.5B+ entities, 500M+ unique companies, 3B+ entity relationships, and 4B+ trade records sourced directly from government registries rather than aggregated or resold; (2) the Judgment Ontology — a tradecraft layer encoding 7 analytical skills, 13 codified failure-mode patterns, and 67,000+ labeled analyst judgments drawn from 11 years of real investigations; and (3) Superconductor — a 6-layer AI orchestration platform that scores every output against tradecraft standards using GREEN/AMBER/RED verdicts.

The company delivers its intelligence through a portfolio of products including Sayari Graph (SaaS investigative platform with multi-hop ownership traversal and the Supply Chain Mapping add-on), Signal (continuous risk monitoring across seven specialized sanctions and forced-labor modules), Guide (third-party risk orchestration), Graph AI (autonomous investigation superagent, coming soon), Pilot (AI-native risk orchestration workspace, Beta), and the Sayari World Model MCP (a Model Context Protocol exposing 41 callable tools to any AI agent or LLM). It also offers private cloud and air-gapped sovereign deployment for classified government environments.

Sayari sells primarily through direct enterprise sales to Fortune 1000 compliance, procurement, and legal teams — including top 35 global banks, Big 4 advisory firms, and major manufacturers — alongside direct federal contracting (notably $8.5M from U.S. Treasury and $7.8M from CBP). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, structured as multi-year enterprise subscriptions with usage-based API/MCP access. The company is backed by TPG ($228M in 2026), Centana Growth Partners ($40M Series C in 2021), In-Q-Tel, MissionOG, and Lavrock Ventures.

Revenue model

1. Enterprise SaaS subscriptions: Recurring subscription revenue from enterprise customers (Fortune 1000 manufacturers, top 35 global banks, Big 4 advisory firms, global insurers and asset managers) accessing the Sayari platform across multiple products (Graph, Signal, Guide, Pilot, MCP). Single deployment serves compliance, procurement, legal, supply chain, and security teams — replacing the 5-7 separate tools enterprises typically run.
2. Government contracts: Direct contracts with U.S. federal agencies for risk intelligence. Notable contracts include an $8.5M Treasury contract for financial crime analytics and a $7.8M CBP contract for UFLPA trade risk and shipment intelligence. Includes SaaS, private cloud, and air-gapped sovereign deployment options.
3. API and data access licensing: Usage-based revenue from API and MCP data access licensing for programmatic integration into customer workflows. REST API and MCP-based access to the Commercial World Model for AI agents, LLMs, and enterprise systems. Bulk screening and batch processing for large vendor portfolios (10,000+ vendors supported).
4. Professional services and integration: Enterprise deployment services including API integrations, pre-built connectors for major ERP and GRC platforms, and implementation support. Initial value typically achieved within weeks, with expansion to continuous monitoring and embedded workflow integration over time.

Core offering

Sayari Labs provides an AI-native risk intelligence platform built on three foundation layers — a Commercial World Model data substrate (1.5B+ resolved entities, 11.7B+ primary-source records, 250+ jurisdictions), a Judgment Ontology tradecraft system, and a Superconductor AI orchestration layer. The platform delivers entity resolution, multi-hop ownership traversal, sanctions and export-control screening, TPRM workflow orchestration, supply chain mapping, and AML/financial crime analytics via its Graph, Signal, Guide, Pilot, Graph AI, and World Model MCP products. It serves Fortune 1000 enterprises and U.S. federal agencies (Treasury, CBP, Department of War, HMRC) for compliance, procurement, legal, supply chain, and national security missions.

Product overview

Sayari Labs offers a unified AI-powered risk intelligence platform for commercial transparency, supply chain, and economic security — built on three interconnected foundation layers (Commercial World Model data substrate, Judgment Ontology tradecraft layer, and Superconductor orchestration layer) and delivered through a portfolio of six core products: Sayari Graph (SaaS investigative platform), Signal (continuous risk screening), Guide (TPRM orchestration), Graph AI (autonomous investigation agents, coming soon), Pilot (AI-native risk orchestration workspace, Beta), and the Sayari World Model MCP (standards-based API data access, Beta). These products sit on top of the foundation and are configured for specific commercial use cases (TPRM, Financial Crime & AML, KYC & Beneficial Ownership, Forced Labor Screening, Export Controls & Sanctions), industry verticals (Financial Services, Energy, Technology, Manufacturing, Electronics, Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Consumer Goods), and government missions (Export Controls, Trade Enforcement, Threat Finance, Counternarcotics, Critical Infrastructure).
