Showcasing our ability to deliver sophisticated backend infrastructures, Neural Alpha delivered the database, ETLs and API powering Lucida’s advanced supply chain and deforestation analysis.

Neural Alpha leveraged our leading experience in the fields of connected data and finance to build a solution which made use of graph data. This technology allowed us to efficiently model the supply chain and financial links between entities as well as to flexibly query the data to provide in depth insights to users.

Paraguay is often overlooked in the deforestation debate despite hosting some of the highest rates in the world over the past decade. For 2019, Trase tracked over 200,000 hectares of deforestation associated with beef and soy exports in 2019 – an area larger than Greater London. This low profile has resulted in too little scrutiny of the finance linked to soft commodity trade and allowed financial institutions to skimp on the type of country and biome level policy commitments often applied to higher profile locations.
