The Pipeline

Three steps from raw government data to actionable intelligence

We run this every day, automatically. You read the output.

1

Data Ingestion

We pull from USDA NASS (acreage, harvest, production), USDA FAS/GAIN (international trade, crop reports), and FDA (import alerts) — automatically, daily. All sources are public federal data, no proprietary feeds.

2

Gap Detection

Our rules engine flags supply gaps: harvest delays greater than 2 weeks vs the 5-year average, acreage declines greater than 10%, or active FDA detention alerts. Runs daily at 7am UTC. Stale data sources are skipped gracefully — no false signals.

3

Actionable Intelligence

Sourcing signals with scored alternative origins land in your dashboard and weekly digest. Signals auto-expire when conditions normalize — typically 14 days. No stale alerts sitting around.

Coverage

20 produce commodities, domestic and international

We monitor these 20 commodities across US domestic origins, Mexico, Peru, Chile, and other major producing regions.

Honest Limitations

What we can't do — and why we say so

We think transparency about our limits builds more trust than overselling our coverage.

⚠️

Decision support, not a guarantee

Signals surface patterns in public data. They're a starting point for your research, not a substitute for it. A gap signal means conditions are worth investigating — not that you must act.

Data lag vs. real-world events

Our pipeline runs daily. Government sources publish on their own schedule. NASS weekly data may be 5–10 days behind. FDA alerts update as they're issued — not in real time.

🔍

No independent verification

Import alert data reflects FDA enforcement actions as of the stated date. CommodityTrax does not independently verify violation claims, visit facilities, or audit shipments.

⚖️

Not legal, food-safety, or investment advice

We aggregate and interpret public data to surface patterns. We do not provide legal counsel, food-safety certification, or investment recommendations. Validate all critical sourcing decisions independently.
