A defensible answer by end of day.

Primary-source research in minutes, ready for the brief, the memo, or the deck — every claim attached to a treaty, ruling, or statement a reviewer can verify. No fabricated citations to sign off on.

The framework rests on OFAC's Venezuela program. General License 41 narrowly authorised Chevron's operations; its terms — and the conditions for renewal — define most of the legitimate space. 12

Outside a specific license, dealings in PdVSA-linked oil risk secondary sanctions exposure under the executive orders, with the blocking provisions reaching non-US persons. 3

The practical read: exposure turns on the live license posture, which OFAC has tightened and loosened with the political cycle — so any opinion has to cite the current license text and the most recent guidance, not last year's. 45

What you’re wondering.

The questions we get asked first.

Model Diplomat is retrieval-first: it searches an index of treaties, sanctions records, court rulings, official statements, and peer-reviewed work before it writes a word, and it cannot cite a document that is not in its index. Every claim attaches to a real source you can open — but as with any research tool, you remain responsible for reviewing the deliverable you put your name on.
It complements them. Subscription databases are excellent for the document types they cover. Model Diplomat synthesizes across primary sources from many places in a single natural-language search and tells you which document each claim came from — making the rest of your research faster, not replacing your legal-research subscription.
Yes. The corpus is kept current and each source is dated, and conflict and country trackers maintain continuously updated, timestamped context. For fast-moving areas, the answer points you to the most recent guidance rather than a stale version.
