The CTRT Recovery Engine

An eight-layer analytical pipeline that processes tariff recovery scenarios through multi-phase parallel thinking, evaluating hundreds of analytical branches simultaneously before collapsing to filing-grade conclusions.

Eight Layers of Intelligence

Data flows through each layer sequentially. At every stage, MPPT deep analysis evaluates edge cases, resolves ambiguities, and ensures output quality meets filing-grade standards.

01

Data Ingestion & Normalization

Raw customs data from CBP entry summaries, Form 7501, and ACE portal exports is ingested and standardized into a unified analytical format. The system handles inconsistent date formats, varying HTS code representations, and incomplete records.

InputsCBP Entry Summaries, Form 7501, ACE Exports, Broker Records
OutputsNormalized Entry Dataset with validated fields
MPPT RoleMPPT validates data integrity and flags anomalies requiring human review
02

Tariff Classification Engine

Each normalized entry is matched against Section 301 and Section 232 tariff lists. The system validates country of origin, confirms HTS code accuracy, and determines which tariff provisions apply to each line item.

InputsNormalized Entry Dataset
OutputsTariff-Classified Entries with applicable duty rates
MPPT RoleMPPT performs multi-branch HTS code analysis for ambiguous classifications
03

Exclusion Detection & Matching

Classified entries are cross-referenced against published exclusion datasets. The system matches HTS codes, product descriptions, and use-case criteria to identify entries that qualify for tariff exclusions.

InputsTariff-Classified Entries, Exclusion Datasets
OutputsExclusion-Matched Entries with confidence scores (0.40 to 1.0)
MPPT RoleMPPT evaluates borderline exclusion matches with multi-factor reasoning
04

Refund Quantification

Recoverable amounts are calculated for each eligible entry using confidence-weighted aggregation. The system computes Expected Revenue Value by multiplying raw refund amounts by confidence scores.

OutputsQuantified Recovery Portfolio with ERV calculations

05

Filing Strategy Router

Each recoverable entry is routed to the optimal filing mechanism. The system checks liquidation status, calculates remaining filing windows, and determines whether Post Summary Correction, Protest, or Litigation is appropriate.

InputsQuantified Recovery Portfolio, Liquidation Status Data
OutputsStrategy-Assigned Claims with filing pathway and deadline
MPPT RoleMPPT evaluates complex multi-pathway scenarios for entries near deadline boundaries
06

Client Priority Scoring

Prospects are scored across three dimensions: Recoverability (data quality and claim strength), Closeability (engagement likelihood), and Risk Adjustment (complexity and potential obstacles). Scores determine engagement priority.

InputsStrategy-Assigned Claims, Client Engagement Data
OutputsPriority-Ranked Client Portfolio (Immediate / High / Standard / Reject)
MPPT RoleMPPT generates nuanced risk assessments for borderline prospects
07

Claim Package Generation

Filing-ready documentation is produced for each approved claim. The system generates justification narratives, compiles supporting evidence, and formats required CBP submission documents.

InputsPriority-Ranked Claims, Supporting Documentation
OutputsFiling-Ready Claim Packages with all required attachments
MPPT RoleMPPT drafts justification narratives tailored to each filing mechanism
08

Execution & Monitoring

Approved claims are submitted through appropriate channels. The system tracks filing status, monitors CBP response timelines, and triggers escalation protocols when deadlines approach without resolution.

InputsFiling-Ready Claim Packages
OutputsSubmitted Claims with status tracking and recovery confirmation
MPPT RoleMPPT monitors claim trajectories and recommends escalation strategies

MPPT Powers
Every Layer

MPPT (Multi-Phase Parallel Thinking) is the deep analysis architecture that powers the CTRT engine. Unlike conventional AI systems that process queries linearly, MPPT generates multiple analytical branches simultaneously, evaluates competing hypotheses, and converges on conclusions that carry measurable confidence scores.

Within the CTRT pipeline, MPPT handles the analytical tasks that require judgment: resolving ambiguous HTS classifications, evaluating borderline exclusion matches, modeling complex filing scenarios, and drafting justification narratives. The deterministic layers handle data processing; MPPT handles reasoning.
