Ricardium


AI-native economic intelligence platform


I’m the founder of Ricardium—an AI-native economic intelligence platform.

Our flagship product, the Trade Pulse API, is built to be the best AI-native source for real-time and historical duty rates for any product traded across borders. It transforms fragmented trade rules and policy changes into structured, queryable trade policy intelligence by connecting each product’s duty rate to its origin, destination, and unique characteristics.

Most of the work on this site is one piece of the question Trade Pulse API solves. I’ve estimated pass-through along supply chains, the real-time cost of the 2025 tariffs, and how the indices investment funds track distort sovereign debt pricing.

If you want to better navigate trade policy, I’d like to talk — contact@ricardium.ai.
