Battery Supply Chain Weekly — Free Intelligence Digest

Decision-grade intelligence for the battery supply chain

Four synthesis engines turn open data into answers. Flow. Risk. Regulation. Signal. From mine to motor to recycling loop.

You're in. First issue arrives this week.

Weekly synthesis of lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and graphite flows. No spam. Unsubscribe anytime.

The mid-market has no supply chain intelligence

Incumbent providers charge $50K-$500K/year and serve enterprise. Public data exists but lacks synthesis. Mid-market operators make critical decisions on incomplete information.

$50K+

Minimum entry price

Benchmark, Kpler, and Wood Mackenzie price out the mid-market entirely. Junior miners and battery startups can't access the intelligence they need.

90 days

Lagged public data

UN Comtrade, USGS, and government sources publish months late. By the time you see the data, the supply chain has already shifted.

Zero

Synthesis available

Raw data exists across dozens of sources. Nobody connects trade flows to risk scores to regulatory changes into a single intelligence layer for battery materials.

Four Synthesis Engines

Intelligence, not data

Each engine answers a different operational question. Together they form the synthesis layer the energy transition doesn't have.

Flow

Where materials move, and when that changes. Trade flow synthesis from Comtrade, AIS tracking, customs manifests, and port data.

Volume anomalies · Route shifts · Cargo rerouting

Risk

Who controls what, and how exposed you are. Supply concentration scoring, dependency flags, and alternative source identification.

Concentration scores · Disruption probability · Alt sources

Regulation

What rules apply, and what they mean operationally. Tariff changes, export controls, CBAM, and IRA content rules — synthesized into structured impact.

Tariff synthesis · Export controls · Compliance mapping

Signal

What's about to change, before the market sees it. Connects Flow, Risk, and Regulation into early warning intelligence.

Early warnings · Leading indicators · Anomaly detection

Your first source of supply chain intelligence

A free weekly digest that synthesizes what matters across battery materials. Trade flow shifts. Regulatory changes. Risk signals. Delivered every Tuesday with full source traceability.

No paywall. No upsell. The digest proves the synthesis — and earns your trust before we ask for anything.

Who This Is For

Built for the operators who need it most

The mid-market operators, investors, and policy teams who make decisions every week about battery materials — without an intelligence team.

Mining Companies

TSX/TSXV explorers & producers

Track flow shifts that affect your offtake negotiations. Spot supply concentration risks before your investors ask about them.

Battery Manufacturers

Cathode, cell, and pack builders

Optimize sourcing with real-time trade flow data. De-risk your supply chain with concentration scoring and alternative source mapping.

Investment Funds

Mining, cleantech, and commodity funds

Validate supply chain claims in due diligence. Get the intelligence that used to require a $200K analyst subscription.

Government & Policy

NRCan, provincial, and trade agencies

Monitor critical mineral dependencies with open, auditable data. Track how trade policy changes flow through the supply chain.
