Critical Materials Atlas

Build your own supply shock

Pick one or more producer countries to knock out, set how hard, and see which critical materials bleed the most supply — ranked live. It’s the stress test from the scenarios page, but the scenario is yours to write. All in your browser, on public mine-production data.

How it works. For each material, the supply at risk is the share of world mine production held by the countries you disrupt, times your severity. Optionally it’s cushioned by the material’s recycling rate and how substitutable it is — a material you can recycle or swap loses less effective supply. This is a transparent what-if on production shares, not a market model or a forecast.

Computed in-browser from data.json mine-production shares. “Raw share hit” = disrupted share × severity before the recycling/substitution cushion. Mine shares are static USGS-based approximations (see limitations); this is a what-if, not a prediction.
