Package-internal vendored JSON; every row adversarially verified against its free authoritative source (2026-07-26 discovery workflow, 15 finders + refute-by-default skeptics).

Quirks

one source_id spans many publishers - each row carries its OWN citation + source_url + verbatim quote; the dossier layer labels rows by citation, not the shared source id
bases differ by commodity and are kept verbatim in the unit (per kg P2O5 for phosphate, per kg K2O for potash, per kg HMC for titanium concentrates); regional scopes (Tunisia, Iran, Jiangxi ionic clays, Appalachian basins) are labeled, not silently globalized
