Press & Research
Let’s Break Stories Together
Most articles about sanctions are wrong. Not because of carelessness or lack of effort but because the data produced by governments is unstructured and riddled with errors, making it difficult to find and use. No wonder drawing conclusions from it is so hard.
The good news is that Castellum.AI solved this problem and has two user friendly ways to analyze the data: a search interface and a structured spreadsheet. As a public benefit corporation, we provide free data to media and researchers.
The Process
We love working with journalists and researchers and are grateful for your trust in us. We’ve developed this process to ensure smooth operations.
Examine our data through our free online platform or free bulk download.
Review our Knowledge Base and Insights to understand our coverage and how our data supports research, analysis and visualizations.
A note of caution: most people think about sanctions as “US sanctions North Korea,” but sanctions are usually “US sanctions a Russian citizen located in China for procuring ballistic missiles on behalf of North Korea."
Decide whether you need an online platform account or a bulk data file.
If your work can be done entirely in the Investigator Platform or using our free bulk data files, excellent! This is our preferred option; you will have free access to tens of thousands of enriched compliance records.
We require our data to be cited or for Castellum.AI to be listed as a co-author.
Custom Requests
If you need a larger data set, time series, or anything customized, that will be a paid request. Please secure a budget and specify your data need, and we will quickly provide what you need.
