Every LodeIQ report is one of six shapes — each with a fixed, professional structure. Every claim carries a source and a confidence level, and a report is never presented as more certain than its verification supports. Our coverage is deepest on the Canada–US critical-minerals corridor—cobalt, graphite, and nickel—and the examples below reflect that.
Every sample below is a real render through our verification pipeline — never a mock-up. Each carries the confidence rating it actually earned, on the artifact itself.
How It Works
Ask
Type a natural-language question about the battery supply chain
Retrieve
Your question is matched to a report shape, and LodeIQ retrieves from its knowledge graph — every record carrying its source, retrieval date, and confidence
Verify
The report is checked for faithfulness and coherence — its confidence rating is capped at what the verification actually supports

Regulatory Scan
ProductionA 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.
3–6 pages · ~8 min read
What's inside
01Scope & Key Points
States the materials, jurisdictions, and timeframe covered, then 3–6 key points summarizing the scan.
02Regulatory Context
Neutral framing of the governing statutes, the authorities involved, and the current implementation phase.
03Timeline of Actions
A dated, chronological table of the regulatory actions in scope — each cited to a primary source.
04Substance Summary per Action
For each load-bearing action, 1–3 neutral sentences on what it does and whom it affects, with a confidence tag.
05Monitoring: What to Watch
Named forward-looking triggers — pending reviews, phase-in dates, proposed rules — plus a freshness note.
06Data Limitations & Confidence
Exactly what is thin or missing in the data and what would raise confidence.
07Methodology
How the report was produced, plus the standing not-legal-advice note.
Questions this shape answers
“What regulations govern cobalt sourcing and trade across the US, EU, and Canada?”
“Survey the lithium rules in force or pending across the US, EU, and Canada — dated, sourced, chronological.”

Decision Brief
ProductionA first-person recommendation on a named decision — should we, does it qualify, which option — landing a clear verdict with a three-axis rating, the reasoning behind it, the risks to the call, and the alternatives weighed. The Compliance-Decision variant answers eligibility questions (does X qualify for this credit / program).
4–8 pages · ~10 min read
What's inside
01Recommendation
The headline call in one sentence, with a three-axis rating: certainty · time horizon · risk exposure.
02Rationale
3–5 thesis paragraphs supporting the call, each load-bearing claim carrying an inline confidence tag.
03Risks to the recommendation
The load-bearing assumptions whose failure would change the call — what would change our mind.
04Alternatives considered
Two or more options weighed and rejected, each with a one-sentence reason for rejection.
05Confidence, freshness & outlook
The top-line rating restated, drivers of and limits on confidence, freshness, and a re-assessment trigger.
06Data Limitations & Confidence
Exactly what is thin or unresolved and what would raise confidence.
07Methodology & Disclosures
Methodology and conflicts disclosures, plus the standing not-advice note.
Market Landscape
Beta — delivers with limitsA descriptive state-and-outlook of a named market over a timeframe — who participates, how material moves, and where it's heading under named scenarios. Neutral voice, no verdict: the lay of the land, with a balance-of-risks read.

Names the market, geography, timeframe, and scenario set, with a topic-sentence-led summary.
02Scenario framing
Two or more named scenarios defined up front and used consistently through every projection.
03Thematic outlook
Sections whose titles are the finding, developed with scenario-consistent figures and sourced captions.
04Methodology / alternative-scenarios note
A short box covering the method, alternative scenarios, or a bounded special topic, naming sources and limits.
05Balance of risks
One explicit statement of which way the risks tilt, with the drivers behind it.
06Freshness & outlook
Source freshness, how long the landscape holds without refresh, and a closing outlook.
07Data Limitations & Confidence
Exactly what is thin or missing in the data and what would raise confidence.
08Methodology
How the report was produced, plus the standing not-advice note.
Questions this shape answers
“Who participates in lithium processing and recycling across North America — and where is it heading?”
“How are graphite trade flows into North America shifting, and under what scenarios?”

Risk Assessment
Beta — delivers with limitsRanks the named threats to a subject over a timeframe — ordered exposures with probability bands, concentration metrics, an assumptions check, and the triggers that would change the picture. Neutral voice, enumerative over threats.

What's inside
01Scope + framing
States the subject, timeframe, geography, and the quality of the underlying sources.
02Key assumptions check
The load-bearing assumptions, each with what it rests on and the implication if it's wrong.
03Threats & likelihood × impact
Enumerated threat vectors with probability bands and impact tiers, rendered as a matrix.
04Ranked exposures
Exposures ordered by magnitude, each carrying a source-reliability tag.
05Analysis of alternatives

“Production” shapes have cleared our faithfulness and coherence checks across repeated runs. The rest deliver today with a confidence banner and a clear Data Limitations section — a report is never presented as more certain than its verification supports, and where our data is thin, the report says so instead of guessing.
