CanIDeal is a market intelligence terminal and predictive decision engine built for the global cannabis industry. It combines real-time pricing data across 14 market indices, AI-driven trade signals, and structured RFQ matching to give buyers and vendors the information and tools they need to transact with confidence.

Both. The terminal layer provides market data, predictive pricing, forward bias indicators, and weekly market briefs. The transaction layer enables structured RFQ matching, wire-based escrow, and compliance-checked order flow. Intelligence drives the transaction, not the other way around.

Yes. Market intelligence, pricing data, market briefs, and trade signals are entirely free. Buyers can browse indices, view predicted pricing, and submit RFQs at no cost. Transaction fees apply only when a completed sale occurs through the platform.

CanIDeal charges tiered transaction fees on completed sales: 2.5% on volume up to $100K, 2.0% from $100K-$500K, 1.5% from $500K-$1M, and 1.0% above $1M annually. There are no listing fees, subscription fees, or hidden costs. A flat $30 wire processing fee applies per transaction.

Supplier identities are never exposed to buyers during the RFQ matching process. All quotes are presented anonymously until both parties agree to proceed. Vendor names, sourcing relationships, and proprietary pricing are kept confidential throughout the discovery and quoting phases.

Buyers submit a sourcing request specifying product type, quantity, quality parameters, and delivery requirements. The platform first checks on-platform vendor inventory for matches, then routes the request to vetted sourcing partners. Quotes are aggregated and presented anonymously so the buyer can compare on price, quality, and compliance status before selecting.

Market indices, aggregate pricing trends, trade signals, and weekly market briefs are publicly available. Individual transaction details, vendor identities within RFQs, proprietary pricing, order volumes, and sourcing relationships are strictly private and visible only to authorized parties in each transaction.

Market briefs are AI-generated weekly intelligence reports that synthesize pricing movements, regulatory developments, supply-demand signals, and predictive indicators across tracked indices. They are delivered automatically and available in the terminal. Briefs highlight actionable trade signals, anomalies, and forward bias so operators can make informed procurement and pricing decisions.

Yes. The platform enforces compliance rules automatically. THC products are restricted to intrastate transactions only, with geo-fencing enforced at the order level. State cannabis licenses, business licenses, and lab certifications are validated against state databases. CBD, hemp, and ancillary products can be transacted interstate and internationally where legal.

CanIDeal covers all US legal cannabis markets with 14 tracked indices spanning flower, concentrates, edibles, and ancillary products. The Global Sourcing Network extends coverage to international CBD, hemp, and ancillary trade in jurisdictions with legal frameworks. Product categories include THC (intrastate only), CBD, hemp, extracts, and ancillary goods.
