How Regulated & Dual-Use Leaders Eliminate Export Risk

Enterprise reference deployments demonstrating how CoreVector eliminates EAR §734.13 deemed-export liability, locks down model weights, and enables Tier-1 prime contractor compliance under FAR 19.7 and DFARS.

OUTCOME: 100% EAR §734.13 COMPLIANT • ZERO FINDINGS

Case 01 • Life Sciences / Genomics

Mid-Market RTP Biotech Firm — Deemed-Export Sovereign Model Enclave

Series B • 120 Personnel
The Regulatory Bottleneck
Offshore computational biology team in East Asia accessed US AWS EC2 training clusters via standard VPN to inspect proprietary genomic model weights. Under EAR §734.13, releasing model weights and technical source code to non-US nationals constituted unauthorized deemed exports, putting Series C funding and federal grant eligibility at severe risk.
CoreVector Architecture
Engineered an air-fenced Sovereign Model Enclave with an egress-filtered bastion layer. Remote researchers submit signed containerized jobs with zero direct weight visibility. Deployed an inline inspection proxy programmatically classifying inference vectors against Commerce Control List (CCL) categories, returning only synthetic visual abstractions.
Measurable Business Outcome
Achieved 100% deemed-export compliance verified via independent third-party audit with zero findings; retained all overseas bioinformatics talent without operational disruption; cleared regulatory due diligence for Series C close within 30 days.
OUTCOME: QUALIFIED FOR $14M TIER-2 DEFENSE SUBCONTRACT

Case 02 • Defense & Dual-Use Manufacturing

Precision Manufacturing & Robotics Integrator — Air-Gapped Edge Enclave

$85M Rev • 350 Personnel
The Regulatory Bottleneck
Deployed industrial computer-vision defect inspection models on NVIDIA Jetson appliances across US production lines. Remote optimization was performed by offshore developers holding root SSH credentials. Prime defense contractors mandated strict DFARS 252.204-7012 (CMMC Level 2); remote access to defense-adjacent CAD tolerances created acute False Claims Act liability.
CoreVector Architecture
Engineered an Air-Gapped Sovereign Inference Appliance & Cryptographic Gateway. Edge nodes were segmented into dual sandboxes: an air-gapped inference container executing local models and a restricted telemetry agent. Raw imagery and CAD geometry are stripped and replaced with synthetic mathematical bounding boxes prior to external transmission, verified via TPM 2.0 hardware root-of-trust.
Measurable Business Outcome
Unlocked qualification for a multi-year $14M Tier-2 defense aerospace subcontract; eliminated offshore developer access to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) while preserving defect telemetry; passed full DCAA cybersecurity review.
OUTCOME: 6-MO ACCELERATION • ZERO DATA SOVEREIGNTY BREACHES

Case 03 • Healthcare IT & Diagnostics

Multi-Jurisdiction Clinical Diagnostic AI — Privacy-Preserving Federated Fabric

Global Clinical Trials
The Regulatory Bottleneck
Expanding clinical validation studies into international medical centers triggered regulatory collisions between US HIPAA, EU GDPR, and PRC PIPL Article 38. Moving raw imaging or identifiable clinical trial data across national boundaries triggered mandatory security reviews, threatening a 12-to-18-month regulatory freeze on global clinical trials.
CoreVector Architecture
Implemented a Privacy-Preserving Federated Sovereign AI Fabric. Patient scans remain localized inside hospital perimeter firewalls. Clinical nodes calculate localized gradient updates, transmitting only homomorphically encrypted, noise-injected differential parameter updates to a centralized US coordinator node with automated cryptographic lineage logging.
Measurable Business Outcome
Accelerated global multi-center trial deployment by 6 months; avoided $1.8M in redundant regional hosting infrastructure; delivered complete audit-certified data provenance directly into FDA 510(k) submission documentation.
OUTCOME: 100% PRIVATE IP RETENTION • CCL DLP VERIFIED

Case 04 • Advanced Materials & Industrial Chemistry

Specialty Materials Producer — Private Sovereign AI Gateway & On-Prem LLM

$120M Rev • Global R&D
The Regulatory Bottleneck
Internal R&D chemists adopted public commercial LLM APIs to troubleshoot polymer batch yields. Prompts included proprietary catalyst formulations and dual-use chemical precursors (Commerce Control List Category 1). Third-party cloud prompt logging breached trade-secret protections and triggered EAR §734 deemed-export liabilities.
CoreVector Architecture
Deployed a Private Sovereign AI Gateway & On-Premises Open-Weights Stack (DeepSeek-R1 / Llama-3.3 70B) on dedicated, air-gapped GPU compute behind corporate VPN. Built an inline Data Loss Prevention (DLP) proxy performing deterministic regex matching and semantic classification on CAS numbers and controlled precursors with zero external telemetry.
Measurable Business Outcome
100% containment of proprietary chemical IP; reduced enterprise AI inference costs by 60% via local open-weights caching; secured immediate General Counsel and Audit Committee sign-off for enterprise-wide rollout.

About CoreVector Systems

Architected at the Intersection of Cross-Border Trade & Sovereign AI

CoreVector Systems was founded to solve a critical enterprise blind spot: the collision between low-cost global AI compute and sovereign regulatory enforcement.

⚡

The Regulatory Collision

As engineering teams slash token costs by routing workloads to foreign APIs, dual-use technical data, CAD specs, and genomic telemetry unwittingly cross borders—creating severe liability under U.S. EAR §734.13 deemed-export rules and China's CAC data transfer mandates.

20+ Years On-the-Ground Authority

Founded by Kennedy, CoreVector brings more than two decades of resident operating leadership across Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Hong Kong—navigating cross-border trade, industrial supply chains, and sovereign data governance through every wave of regulatory change.

Operational Pedigree
🛡️

Dual-Sovereign Architecture

We don't believe in banning global compute. We believe in fencing it. We engineer zero-trust domestic enclaves, localized telemetry proxies, and tamper-evident JSONL audit logging so enterprises capture high margins with zero-finding audit confidence.
