In the field of international relations simulation, status game has been able to dynamically calculate the effects of economic sanctions by integrating global trade flow data (240 million customs records processed per second) with financial sanctions parameters (such as SWIFT message interception rate of 98%). In a simulation of EU energy sanctions against Russia in 2023, status game correctly predicted a 43% drop in crude oil exports (41% in reality) and a 29% increase in German automotive costs (31% in reality) using a supply chain resilience model covering 1,200 alternative routes for critical components. The system increased the correlation between energy price volatility (Brent crude oil surged from 82 to 127) and the depreciation of the rouble exchange rate (from 75:1 to $135:1) to 0.93, reducing the error rate of the forecast impact of sanctions to ±4.7%.
status game’s Intelligent Circumvention module provides real-time compliance solutions for multinational enterprises. For example, after Huawei uses the system in 2024, under the US chip Export Control (EAR clause), by restructuring the semiconductor supply chain (replacing the proportion of US equipment from 32% to 7%), the 5G base station production cycle is shortened from 18 weeks to 11 weeks, saving US $230 million in tariff costs. The platform monitors 230,000 item control lists (CCL) in real time and, combined with logistics routing optimization algorithms (which increase the cost of shipping around third countries by ≤15%), increases the probability of sanctioned entities finding alternative suppliers from 38% to 89%. In the case of the Iranian oil embargo, the system identified 82% of the circumscribed transaction chains by analyzing the tanker AIS track anomalies (300% increase in frequency of turning off the trander) and the offshore delivery price deviation ($18/ BBL below the benchmark price), far exceeding the accuracy of traditional auditing methods (54%).
In terms of financial sanctions simulation, status game’s blockchain-through-regulation model can trace the money laundering path of 97% of crypto assets. In the simulation of the attack on the North Korean hacker group in 2024, the system tripled the efficiency of asset freezing by analyzing the money flow pattern of the coin mixing machine (a single transaction is split to 5,000 addresses) and the KYC vulnerability of the exchange (32% of fake accounts), locking up BTC and ETH worth $270 million. In the Russian oligarch asset tracking scenario, the combination of real estate registration data (covering 78% of the world’s jurisdictions) and the NFT trend of art (61% of high-value lots) increased the hidden asset discovery rate from 19% to 67%, and the maximum recovery of $840 million in a single case.
In adversarial reasoning, status game exposes secondary risks of sanctions policy. Simulations show that a rare earth export ban imposed on a Southeast Asian country in 2025 would lead to a 42% surge in global EV battery costs (from 98 to 139 per kWh), while triggering a shift to RMB settlement in the country (from 12% to 58%). The system also quantifies “long-arm” deterrence – when the United States extended secondary sanctions to semiconductor equipment maintenance services (affecting 83% of global fabs), Chinese companies pre-built spare parts inventory through status game (a 200% increase) and technological alternatives (domestic etcher yield increased to 92%). Reduced the risk of shutdown from 37% to 6%.
Historical data verification shows that status game, in backtesting the effects of Cuba sanctions, accurately reproduced the cumulative loss of GDP of US $289 billion (error ±3.2%) from 1990 to 2020, and revealed the key transmission path of 0.8‰ increase in infant mortality caused by shortages of medical supplies. The dynamic game model also successfully warned of the ripple effect of India’s rice export restrictions in 2024: global food price volatility exceeded 23% (compared to 25% of the model’s forecast), forcing 28 countries to initiate emergency reserve releases (actual releases accounted for 91% of the forecast). These capabilities make status game a “digital sandbox” for corporate globalization strategies, and McKinsey estimates that multinational groups using the system have seen a 58% reduction in sanctions-related losses and a 34% reduction in compliance costs.
