Your counterparty has signed this agreement hundreds of times. You're signing it once. For the first time, you know what everyone else signed — before you commit.
An agentic AI searches the Semipply Corpus, reasons across filings, and delivers benchmarks — clause by clause, company by company. Know what the market actually signed before you walk into a negotiation.
Explore the market →Screen counterparties against live sanctions and Entity Lists. Assess ITAR / EAR applicability for any product or technology. Grounded in the Semipply Corpus — including the full e-CFR regulatory archive.
Screen & assess →Your specific agreement, read from your side. Agentic AI scores it against the Semipply Corpus, flags every risk, and delivers a verdict, a redline, and a negotiation brief.
Analyze your contract →The only structured intelligence corpus built from the complete public record of what semiconductor companies actually agreed to — ingested, classified, and maintained by Semipply.
From TSMC to ASML to SK Hynix, the critical nodes of your supply chain sit in countries subject to EAR, ITAR, or both. One missed classification or a sanctioned counterparty can trigger criminal liability — yet most startups still manage compliance manually, in spreadsheets.
The BIS Entity List and OFAC SDN List are updated weekly. Counterparties clear today may be designated tomorrow. Manual spot-checks are not a compliance program.
Whether a product falls under EAR99, an ECCN, or the USML depends on performance thresholds and end-use context — not just what it is called. Getting it wrong voids your license exceptions.
The EAR and ITAR together span hundreds of pages of 15 CFR and 22 CFR. Export control counsel is expensive. Fast, grounded answers to routine questions shouldn't require a billable hour.
Acquirers, investors, and government customers all conduct export-control diligence. Gaps discovered during a deal or audit are far more costly than proactive screening.
Search any company name against the live BIS Entity List, OFAC SDN List, and consolidated screening list. Results show match reason, program, and effective date — in seconds.
Describe your product, end-use, and destination. The tool reasons over 1,500+ EAR and ITAR regulatory chunks to return an ECCN estimate, license requirement, red flags, and CFR citations.
Ask plain-English questions about EAR, ITAR, OFAC, or specific CCL categories. The agent cites the exact CFR section — not a law firm memo, but the actual regulatory text.
Every assessment cites the exact CFR passages used, shows similarity scores, and flags confidence level. You get a defensible record, not an opinion without basis.
The Export Control Hub is grounded in authoritative, continuously updated sources — not static summaries.
OpenSanctions consolidated screening list — updated daily from the official U.S. Commerce Department feed.
Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List — Treasury OFAC, ingested via OpenSanctions.
15 CFR Parts 730–774 including the Commerce Control List (CCL), Oct 2022 advanced chip rules, and Part 744 end-user controls.
22 CFR Parts 120–130 covering USML Categories XI (military electronics) and XV (spacecraft & satellites).
Recent rule amendments and interim final rules — ensuring the corpus reflects current controls, not prior-year text.

Export Control Hub provides preliminary guidance grounded in the EAR and ITAR regulatory corpus. It is not legal advice. All export control decisions must be reviewed by qualified export control counsel.
Every high-stakes agreement a semiconductor startup signs in its first years was drafted by the other side — foundries, hyperscalers, defense primes, universities, automotive OEMs. The terms reflect their interests, not yours.
Supply allocation, yield thresholds, wafer bank penalties, mask ownership, and change-of-control clauses all default in the foundry's favour. The asymmetry is structural, not accidental.
Customer-drafted pilot agreements contain IP ownership clauses, auto-renewal, and one-sided indemnification. What looks like a trial often becomes a binding commitment.
Spinout IP licenses carry field-of-use restrictions, milestone-based rights, and government march-in provisions that limit what you can commercialize and with whom.
Most semiconductor startups from seed through Series B have no general counsel. The exposure gets locked in before anyone reads the fine print carefully.
Every clause with commercial consequence ranked by severity — important, review, or note.
Calibrated to your side of the table — semiconductor buyer, IP licensee, defense contractor, or spinout founder.
Proceed, proceed with caution, pause, or renegotiate — with the specific asks to bring back before you sign.
Five dimensions scored RED, AMBER, or GREEN — supply, yield, delivery, economics, exit.
For every critical finding: a specific contract fix to negotiate and a situation fix for the underlying exposure.
Single source, critical launch, tight margins — change your context and see how your risk score shifts.
Five dimensions scored against your contract language and amplified by your company context — the only framework built specifically for semiconductor supply agreements.
Upload any contract as PDF or Word — foundry agreement, IP license, customer pilot, DARPA OTA. The system identifies the parties and confirms which side you're on.
Single-source or dual-source? Critical launch timeline or flexible? Tight margins or healthy buffer? Your context determines which risks are most dangerous for you specifically.
Receive a ranked list of clauses to negotiate, a clear verdict, and for foundry agreements — a scored F-MRI across five dimensions with specific language to push back on.
These are the real questions semiconductor teams should be asking — and usually aren't, until after execution.
SEC rules require full contract disclosure at IPO — the only moment supply agreements are visible without redaction. We index every clause across semiconductor supply agreements disclosed at IPO so you negotiate with evidence, not intuition.
Yield floors, force majeure carve-outs, dual-source rights — the data shows what other semiconductor companies have secured and with which counterparties. Walk in with precedent, not a guess.
Foundry lock-in, uncapped liability, and take-or-pay exposure are existential for a semiconductor startup. We surface these flags — scored and sourced — from the only filings that can't be redacted.
One corpus access covers your entire portfolio. Every company walks into foundry negotiations knowing what's been done before — grounded in the only unredacted public record of semiconductor supply terms.
Query unredacted supply agreements from semiconductor IPO filings. Get answers grounded in real clause text, company name, and filing date.
