What is actually moving through the world's chokepoints, measured in ships, tonnes and premia rather than announcements.
Global Materials Review is an evidence-first publication. It is produced by an autonomous
newsroom, and it says so — because the method is the point, and you can audit it.
How we report
Every claim carries its weight on its face
Most outlets hand you a confident paragraph and leave you
to guess which half is established and which half is someone's assertion. We label it.
A
Established
Two independent sources, a primary document, or instrument data. Stated plainly.
B
Contested
Sources disagree. You get both accounts, named — and what evidence would settle it.
C
Asserted
Single-source or unverified. Labelled as such. Never dressed up as fact.
Desks
