Russia sanctions intelligence — independent, public-source

Linzalytics is a Netherlands-registered independent research practice focused on Russia sanctions, occupied-territory exposure, and secondary-sanctions risk. The product is a structured graph built from public sources, turned into analyst-usable briefs for compliance teams, law firms, and government analysts.

What we do

We take public inputs — OFAC SDN, OpenSanctions, EU/UK/UA/CA/AU/JP/CH/NZ lists, Russian arbitration court records (kad.arbitr.ru), Russian procurement (zakupki.gov.ru), EGRUL corporate registry — and turn them into an INN-anchored graph with analyst-structured evidence. On top of that sit the briefs: designation packages, cross-jurisdiction coverage gaps, 50% Rule triage, occupied-territory discovery, and procurement-driven supplier exposure.

Everything we publish is backed by a primary-source citation. Nothing is sourced from subscription-only databases or commercial data partners. The value is in the structure, the scoring, and the evidence chains — not in exclusive access to records.

Who this is for

• Compliance teams at banks, energy firms, shipping companies, and industrial exporters who need to see beyond the OFAC front page — to the 50% Rule-triggered subsidiaries, the court-linked counterparties, and the procurement chains that still reach sanctioned principals.
• Law firms building designation memos, advising on divestment, or prosecuting sanctions-evasion cases — where primary-source documentation matters.
• Government analysts and NGO researchers looking for a working second set of eyes on Russia's sanctioned network — with transparent methodology and reproducible findings.
• Journalists and academics using the free tier to ground public reporting.

Principal

The practice is led by Derek Linz — engineer and analyst with a background in large-scale data systems, graph analytics, and open-source intelligence. Work prior to Linzalytics includes distributed systems architecture and security research; the sanctions focus emerged from applying those tools to the public Russia-related record after 2022.

This is not a legal practice and nothing we publish is legal advice. Compliance and designation decisions remain with the buyer's own legal team.

Independence & funding

Linzalytics is independently owned and funded by its subscribers. We do not accept government contracts that would constrain what we can publish; we do not take advocacy funding from interested parties to designations; we have no investors with veto rights over the research agenda. If that changes, it will be disclosed here.

How we work

• Daily pipeline: sources are re-fetched, the graph rebuilt, briefs regenerated. Freshness is shown on the dashboard.
• Transparent methodology: every source we use is listed on /intel/methodology.html.
• Reproducibility: the scorecard CSV and enrichment steps are documented; subscribers can validate our scoring against their own dataset.
