Why it matters
The future isn’t AI-powered. It’s trust-powered.
AI doesn’t fix bad data — it automates it at scale. Where the data underneath is weak, AI multiplies the errors faster than any team can catch them.

What it does
One assistant across the whole partner lifecycle
Ask in plain language. CDQ Genius orchestrates specialized skills on top of your existing CDQ setup — no new tool to learn.
Find & verify partners
Identify any company against 80+ official registers and 200M+ peer-validated records — cascading to the open web only when trusted sources fall short, with every result cited and trust-graded.
Screen for risk & sanctions
Run sanctions and AML screening on a business partner, ranked by criticality, with the evidence and reasoning you need to act — or escalate.
Curate & complete records
Deduplicate, build golden records, enrich missing VAT/LEI and validate against 2,800+ data-quality rules — on request, record by record.
Explain your data
Turn dashboards, logs and quality signals into plain-language answers and charts: what happened, why it matters, and what to do next.
Configure by describing it
Describe the rule, mapping or duplicate-detection profile you want, and Genius proposes a best-fit configuration you can review and test.
Monitor & alert
Ask Genius to watch critical changes on your behalf — insolvencies, sanction hits, ownership shifts — and surface the ones that matter before they reach your processes.
How CDQ Genius answers — with evidence, not guesses
Every answer follows the same governed path, so you can trust the result and show your work.
Ask in plain language

AI you can put in front of an auditor
CDQ Genius is built for enterprise data work — grounded, governed and traceable by design, not bolted on afterwards.
Grounded in trusted data
Answers come from official registers, validated records and governed rules — real data, not statistical guesses.
Compliance-grade traceability
Every insight is backed by transparent evidence and lineage, so decisions hold up to audit and regulation.
Governed autonomy
Agents act within clear boundaries, escalate unclear cases to people, and never run as open-ended automation.
Private & purpose-bound
Your data isn’t training a public model — it’s used only to answer your questions, with GDPR-compliant handling.
Proof
Enterprises already scaling AI on trusted data
The CDQ platform behind CDQ Genius powers some of Europe’s largest master-data programs.

“Everyone is betting on AI. But AI without trusted master data is like operating on a patient without knowing the patient’s history — risky, unreliable, and potentially harmful if not fatal.”
Questions teams ask before a Genius demo

How is CDQ Genius different from ChatGPT or Claude?
General-purpose assistants know the public internet. CDQ Genius is grounded in trusted, verified business data and 20+ years of CDQ expertise — it knows your master data, supplier structures, business rules and governance model. You get the speed of an LLM with the accuracy of authoritative sources, and every answer is cited and trust-graded.
What can I actually ask it?
Find and verify a company, screen a partner for sanctions and AML risk, deduplicate and enrich records, explain what a data-quality signal means, or get help configuring rules and duplicate detection. If your team does it with business partner data today, you can ask Genius to help with it in plain language.
Does it just search the web?
No. Genius checks CDQ’s trusted sources first — 80+ official registers, 200M+ validated records and 2,800+ rules. It only cascades to the open web when established sources can’t confirm an answer, and it grades and cites every result against CDQ’s data-source trust framework.
Can I trust it for compliance decisions?
Every insight comes with evidence, source citations and a compliance-grade audit trail. Agents work within clear boundaries and escalate unclear or conflicting cases to your team — people stay in control of policy, exceptions and release. It’s built to support decisions you can defend, not to replace judgment.
How do we integrate it?
Three ways, and you can grow through them: call a single CDQ service directly as an API or MCP tool for a quick win; integrate CDQ Genius as one entry point that orchestrates multiple capabilities; or, as standards mature, move toward agent-to-agent collaboration between your enterprise agents and Genius.
Can we try it?
Yes. CDQ Genius is available inside the CDQ Cloud Apps, including trial access with starter prompts, so your team can see value where they already work. Book a demo and we’ll set you up on your own data.
Will it change my data automatically?
Not on its own. Today Genius focuses on finding, explaining and recommending. When it does propose changes, they’re safe, reviewable actions you approve — with optional monitoring and alerts for critical issues so nothing slips through.
