All Traded Products
21 HS sections / 96 chapters / 5,000+ subheadingsEvery product starts from HS taxonomy, then receives material/process/company edges only when official or disclosed evidence exists.
Find the physical node behind the price shock.
Search a product forward into its materials, suppliers, routes, countries, and facilities. Search a material backward into every product and company that depends on it.

Official-Source Expansion Layer
The platform now starts from global official taxonomies and signal feeds, then only promotes a product-material-country-route edge when the source tier supports it.
Use government, intergovernmental, exchange, standards-body, or company-disclosed sources first.
Article and blog content can describe context, but cannot create an evidence edge in the graph.
If a facility, supplier, cargo, or customer link is not disclosed, keep it marked as unknown instead of inventing it.
Every edge stores source tier, cadence, relation type, confidence, and the last observed source family.
Minerals, Energy, Food, Chemicals
90+ USGS minerals plus IEA critical minerals and EIA energy chainsMaterial coverage combines USGS mineral sheets, IEA critical mineral pathways, EIA energy data, and official agriculture/energy extensions.
All Reporting Countries and Economies
UN Comtrade reporters plus World Bank country indicatorsCountry exposure is built from reporter, partner, import, export, tariff, logistics, and source-concentration indicators.
Ports, Chokepoints, Liner Connectivity
Chokepoints, ports, country connectivity, and maritime baselinesRoutes are represented as chokepoint, port, country-pair, and shipping-mode layers rather than as a single decorative map line.
Disruption Event Layers
Weather, seismic, fire, energy, port, sanctions, utility, and logistics signalsEvent detection links official hazard feeds to facilities, routes, materials, and product dependencies.
