For the analysts, investors & procurement teams who have to be right
If you're not using LodeIQ,
you're already paying for it.
Decision-grade compliance and supply-chain intelligence for the Canada–US critical-minerals corridor—cobalt, graphite, and nickel. LodeIQ gives you the sourced answer in minutes—every claim traceable, confidence stated—so you decide while the window's still open.
Every claim sourced · Computed, not guessed · No black boxes
Why teams switch
You already have the data.
You need the answer.
LodeIQ is the synthesis layer above the sources you already trust—it does the analysis and shows its work, so you decide instead of assemble.
Speed to answer
Minutes, not weeks.
Ask, and get a streamed, sourced report while the decision still matters. See the tariff, the export ban, the price divergence—and act the same day, not the week after the window closed.
Ease of use
Ask, don't assemble.
No data pull, no spreadsheet, no analyst queue. Type the question in plain language; LodeIQ retrieves, computes, and writes the answer. Self-serve from first login.
Price
Per decision. Pilot first.
Answers by the report, not a five-figure seat you have to justify to procurement. Founding-customer pilots open with four full reports, by invitation, and a coverage check that never costs a credit—prove the value before you pay.
The real cost isn't a subscription—it's the one you're already paying.
Your team's hours
Your best analyst assembling a memo a machine writes in minutes—instead of exercising judgment.
Decisions made late
The window is days. An answer that lands next week can miss the hedge, the offtake, the exposure—even when the analysis is right.
The questions you never asked
When analysis costs a day, you ration it to the fire in front of you. When it costs minutes, you cover the whole risk surface.
You're already paying in time, latency, and blind spots. LodeIQ just makes the bill visible—and small.
Ask it like you'd ask a colleague
The questions you bring to the table.
Ask in plain language. LodeIQ answers with one sourced report—every claim carries a source, a confidence level, and a retrieval date. When the data is thin, it says so and delivers with stated limits, never a fabricated answer. Each answer takes the shape the question calls for:
“Should we — and can I defend the call?”
Delivered as a Decision Brief
A clear recommendation on a named decision — should we, does it qualify, which option. Lands a verdict with the reasoning behind it, the risks to the call, and the alternatives weighed. The compliance variant answers eligibility questions, like whether a facility qualifies for a given credit.
“Where am I dangerously exposed?”
Delivered as a Risk Assessment
Ranks the threats to a subject over a timeframe — ordered exposures with probability bands, supply-concentration math, an assumptions check, and the triggers that would change the picture. Neutral voice, enumerative over threats.
“What’s actually happening in this market?”
Delivered as a Market Landscape
A descriptive state-and-outlook of a named market — who participates, how material moves, and where it is heading under named scenarios. The lay of the land, with a balance-of-risks read. Neutral voice, no verdict.
“What rules are about to hit me?”
Delivered as a Regulatory Scan
A neutral, timeline-first survey of the rules in scope — a dated chronology of filings, proposed and final rules, and enforcement actions, each tied to its source. No verdict, no recommendation: the survey, not a call.
“Can I trust this company, mine, or route?”
Delivered as a Entity Dossier
A profile of a single named entity — a company, facility, country, port, vessel, or trade route. Covers its recent events, dependencies, commercial and technical profile, the triggers to watch, and its identity.
“What’s moving before the price screen sees it?”
Delivered as a Signal Brief
An alert-shaped report that fires on a threshold crossing or a fresh development — a signal headline, the trigger context, a few cited evidence claims, a signal-strength rating, and what fires next. Terse, observational, recency-driven.
“Certified” shapes have cleared our faithfulness and coherence checks across repeated runs. The rest deliver today with a confidence banner and a clear statement of their limits—an honest low-confidence brief, never a confident guess.
Convergence
Intelligence that connects
The battery supply chain doesn't sit in one database. Trade flows live in UN Comtrade. Commodity indices live with the World Bank. Reserves and production sit with USGS and Eurostat. Regulatory changes are scattered across national gazettes and trade registries. No single source tells the story. The intelligence gap isn't access — it's synthesis.
LodeIQ bridges that gap. Our knowledge graph connects entities across sources — linking an Ontario cobalt refinery to its feedstock dependencies, to the US tax-credit eligibility rules it must clear, to the Canadian production statistics behind it, to the HS-classified trade flows in UN Comtrade. When you ask a question, you don't get a search result. You get a synthesized answer with every claim traced to source, rated for confidence, and dated for freshness.
This is what “decision-grade” means: intelligence you can act on because you can see exactly where it came from, how confident we are, and when the data was last refreshed. Not a dashboard. Not a report template. A synthesis layer that reads the entire landscape and gives you the answer that matters to your role, your materials, and your decision timeline.
Synthesis Architecture
Reliable by design—not by chance
LodeIQ's intelligence is built on a purpose-designed synthesis layer that separates what must be computed from what can be interpreted. Core data, calculations, and logic are deterministic—computed from the knowledge graph, never improvised by a model. Language models structure the narrative; they never fabricate the data. Every report is validated against LodeIQ's release quality gates before it ships.
Verified source data
Ingested from open public registries including UN Comtrade, USGS, Eurostat, and the World Bank. Every data point carries source, retrieval date, and confidence level.
Deterministic logic
Material flows, risk scores, regulatory impacts, and market signals are computed through our graph query layer and calculation library—QA-hardened rules under continuous measurement.
Structured interpretation
Language models add clarity and narrative structure to computed results—they don't generate the underlying intelligence. Better models sharpen the prose; the data stays rock-solid.
Every synthesized answer carries full provenance, confidence rating, and freshness date—so you can defend it in boardrooms, audits, or negotiations. Each report shape must clear faithfulness and coherence checks across repeated runs before it ships certified; until then, it delivers with its limits stated, never as a confident guess.
Knowledge Graph
Where intelligence comes from
Every synthesis traces through a connected graph of materials, facilities, companies, countries, regulations, and trade routes. Select your role to see the intelligence that matters to you.

Why LodeIQ
Intelligence you can defend
Most platforms rely on raw model output or analyst opinion. LodeIQ computes first, interprets second.
| Metric | LodeIQ | Traditional platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Synthesis reliability | Deterministic logic + calculation library + structured interpretation | Often LLM-heavy or analyst-variable |
| Output consistency | Computed, not improvised — consistency engineered in and measured against a release quality gate per report shape | Prone to model drift or human variability |
| Provenance & trust | Full source + logic path + confidence on every claim | Partial or opaque |
| Future-proof intelligence | Logic layer first; language models only enhance interpretation | Heavy reliance on raw model performance |
Data Sources
Open data. Full traceability.
Every data point carries source, confidence level, methodology, and retrieval date. No black boxes.
Provenance
Every entity, relationship, and synthesis carries full provenance metadata: source name, retrieval date, confidence level, and methodology. Source traceability is structural, not decorative.
Coverage
Deepest on the Canada–US critical-minerals corridor—cobalt, graphite, and nickel: regulation, production, and trade structure. Coverage extends across seven battery-critical materials and a multi-country producer base. 6,053 entities. 16,042 relationships. 1,900+ trade corridors.
Pricing
LodeIQ does not publish battery-chemical price assessments—the product is regulatory, production, and trade-structure intelligence. Commodity prices we do carry—monthly nickel (LME cathode grade) and copper (LME grade A) series—are sourced from World Bank Pink Sheet indices and government publications, labeled with source and vintage. Baseline snapshots are labeled as such, never presented as live feeds.
Built for the teams making critical-minerals decisions across the Canada–US corridor.
Miners, manufacturers, policy directors, and fund managers.
Deterministic intelligence. Provenance you can audit. Results you can act on.
