ZRG Mineral is a B2B sourcing intelligence platform for critical industrial minerals. It combines risk terminal, coverage map, predictive early warnings and compliance validation with ZRG certificate — for European procurement teams.

How is ZRG different from classic compliance tools?

Classic tools check backwards whether suppliers are ESG-compliant. ZRG Mineral warns forward 6–8 weeks before supply bottlenecks or price increases — with predictive alerts, live risk scores and coverage map.

Which materials does ZRG Mineral cover?

Gallium, rare earths, graphite, copper, lithium, NdFeB magnets and more critical industrial minerals in the material library — with CRMA-compliant field extraction.

Is ZRG Mineral LkSG and CRMA ready?

ZRG supports supply chain due diligence with documented audit trail, ZRG validation certificate (PDF) and compliance scores — designed for LkSG and EU CRMA requirements.

Is there a free way to get started?

Yes — free 30-day pilot on request with personal onboarding. Enterprise licences individually by B2B quote.

Methodology

Watcher Consensus — Stress Index

The Stress Index aggregates calibrated leading indicators and assessments into sector-weighted indices (Grid, Transformer Lead-Time, Cable Lead-Time, REE Magnet, Copper Grid, and others). Energy & Utilities accounts use different weights than the default industrial pack.

Step 1

Index construction

Each index (e.g. transformer_stress, cable_lead_time) scores matched live signals with lag calibration: expected score impact × severity × confidence. Unmatched windows stay at 0 — never invented.

Step 2

Sector weights

Default and Energy weights live in lib/watcher/sectors/energy.ts. Energy mode boosts grid, transformer, cable, copper and REE; demotes AI/semiconductor. The feed breakdown table shows weight × contribution in real time.

Step 3

Evidence & methodology URL

Every assessment and index cites sources, asOf timestamps and a methodology URL (watcher-consensus-v1 / watcher-reasoning-v1). ERP full export carries the same fields for audit.

Step 4

Known limits

OSINT and public port models are not AIS or closed-forum scrapes. Low sample calibration stays low-confidence. The index is decision support for procurement — not a market price feed or legal opinion.

What we do not claim

We do not claim Bloomberg-grade market data coverage or Palantir-grade ontology completeness. We claim a defensible, portfolio-scoped judgment with visible uncertainty — and we document how it is computed.

Decision support only. Weights and calibrations evolve with new cases.
