Material supply chains

Critical-mineral deposits, strategic projects, technical reports, smelters and refiners — mine to refiner to cell and magnet maker. Readiness here is a 7-gate ladder: r&d award → resource defined → strategic status → permitted → financed → offtake signed → in production.

What counts as evidence for each gate
R&D award — NSF / CORDIS / UKRI / NIH award on battery materials, extraction or recycling
Resource defined — S-K 1300 technical report summary (EDGAR EX-96), USGS MRDS producer / prospect record, CRMA strategic-project listing
Strategic status — EU CRMA strategic project (streamlined permitting, access to finance); FAST-41 covered project
Permitted — environmental / mining permit approved — SEIA, IAAC, BC EPIC, ECHO air permit at a smelter or refinery
Financed — DOE LPO / EDF loan, EXIM or DFC commitment, public grant ≥ $10M
Offtake signed — offtake or supply agreement on the public record (8-K exhibit, CRMA offtake filing)
In production — MRDS producer, operating facility, lifecycle operating

Method

Each record carries a citation to the public document it was read from; person-level fields in those documents (investigators, agents, officers) are never stored. Gates are observed, never inferred: a company is at a rung because a cited record says so. Build-out targets are tagged by text match against each record's own name and description, with vetoes for known false positives. Values are as filed (award, grant, private placement, total cost) converted to USD at fixed rates — shown for scale, not comparable across registers. Organisation names are matched on a normalised key, so subsidiaries and spellings can split one company into several rows.
