In today’s complex regulatory landscape, companies operating in the defense, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing sectors face increasing pressure to ensure compliance with export control laws. The stakes are high: noncompliance can lead to significant legal, financial, and reputational consequences.

At ConductorAI, we’ve built an automated AI-driven workflow, used by both the defense industrial base as well as government regulators, that identifies and classifies ITAR/EAR-controlled content within documents, creates an auditable decision log, streamlines the compliance process, and increases confidence in export control decisions.

The Hidden Cost of Manual Compliance

Large industrial base contractors handle tens of thousands of documents annually—technical drawings, specifications, communications, and more—all of which may contain sensitive export-controlled information.

Compliance teams have long shouldered the important responsibility of manually reviewing documents to ensure accurate classification. While effective, this process is time-intensive and demanding at scale. Our AI-powered solution drastically reduces the manual lift, while providing a powerful layer of assurance for compliance teams.

How It Works

1. Ingest Documents Automatically: Whether it's PDFs, Word documents, or emails, the system can be configured to review a wide range of file formats.
2. Classify Content Based on ITAR/EAR Regulations: Powered by a series of model-agnostic LLM agents with deep knowledge of ITAR/EAR regulations and fit to your organization’s historical classification patterns, the system evaluates whether content is controlled—and, if so, determines the appropriate jurisdiction.
3. Flag Relevant Sections for Human Review: Instead of hiding the review process, the system highlights specific sections for human review and provides contextual guidance, making it easy for compliance teams to verify and validate classifications.
4. Output a Document-Level Summary: The workflow concludes with an overall classification suggestion (e.g., ITAR-controlled, EAR-controlled, or not controlled) and rationale for the determination.
5. Instantly Share Results with Requesters: Classification results are made available to requesters directly within the platform, typically within minutes, enabling fast, informed decisions. Every action is logged to support compliance and audit requirements.
