Coverage

Data coverage notes

sparseCesium: thin upstream coverage - Only 1 supply record in scope. Coverage gaps are likely; consult the per-source breakdown above for what's available.
no dataNo demand data - No consumption / intensity / projection rows in scope. Forward-looking demand requires either USGS MCS apparent-consumption coverage (commodity-specific) or hand-curated intensity proxies + IEA CMO scenarios.
no dataNo commodity-decomposed recycling data - No USGS MCS Fig13 scrap rows. EU WEEE / battery EOL flows (Phase 6.1.1) are country-keyed only - see country profiles.

Methodology

How strata reads a commodity

The eight-stage lens, the observed-vs-estimated membrane, stage-honest supply, per-stage concentration, ownership resolution and the demand lens - the full method is illustrated live on copper, nickel and lithium.
