An AI-powered proactive African trade intelligence system that monitors live market conditions, runs multi-agent analysis with transparent disagreement resolution, produces actionable confidence ledgers, and automatically alerts traders when disruptions require re-planning before they lose money.

## What is TradeFlow?
TradeFlow is a multi-agent AI system that helps African SME importers and exporters make high-confidence cross-border trade decisions.
It does not give you a number. It gives you a **decision** — with reasoning, confidence levels, risk flags, and a full audit trail of every assumption made.
**Example query:**
> "I want to import 500 units of Samsung smartphones from China to Lagos via Apapa port."
**TradeFlow responds with:**
- Market intelligence analysis (FX risk, duties, demand signals)
- Logistics routing options (Apapa vs Tincan vs Cotonou)
- Compliance and risk assessment (SONCAP, NCC, customs requirements)
- A verified final trade recommendation (PROCEED / PROCEED WITH CAUTION / PAUSE)
- A full decision traceability report showing every assumption and data flag

## The Crisis Commander Loop
TradeFlow is not a static query system. It is a dynamic re-planning intelligence system.
When a disruption signal arrives — a port closure, FX spike, policy change, or supplier fraud alert — TradeFlow automatically re-runs the entire agent chain with the new context and produces a revised recommendation.
