Three ways in.
Static, dated, and traceable to the file it came from. Pick where to start.
Flow map
Every leg of a chain on one world map. Sea legs name the route sections they run, composed from a catalogue of 403 waypoints — the water ships actually use, rather than straight lines.
Open the mapKnowledge base
7 top-level topics in a ring. Open one and its topics fan out a level at a time, down to the individual report and what it links to.
Open the knowledge baseAlpha
Flows and Faultlines, Terratrade's monitored newsletter, alongside the supply-chain DAG and its focus-scoped view of dependencies.
Open AlphaPetrochemical feedstocks, Biodiesel/FAME, Ethanol, Renewable Diesel, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Coal, Crude oil, LNG, Natural gas, Uranium, Gasoline, Heavy products, Middle distillates, Aluminium, Copper, Nickel, Tin, Zinc, Dysprosium, Neodymium, Praseodymium, Cobalt, Graphite and Lithium are mapped end to end, on top of 23 geographic, network and chokepoint dossiers that own the places and routes they cross. The rest of the tree is commissioned and unwritten — the gaps stay visible on purpose.
One authored layer
Researchers write reports; every screen is generated from them by a build step. A fact is declared once, so the map, the graph and the dependency diagram cannot disagree — there is no second copy to drift.
Dated, not live
The corpus is a snapshot: 2026 Q3, next refresh 2026-10-01. Anything you cite carries the date it was true, which is the opposite of a streaming dashboard.
Observed or derived, never both
Every number is either authored with its evidence, or computed by the build from numbers that were. Shares, chokepoint throughput and dependency layers are derived, so nobody can type them in by hand and be quietly wrong.
