The provenance-layer domain for the metals and minerals supply chain.

A substrate-layer coordinate for the specific and growing challenge of proving origin, chain of custody, and responsible sourcing for metals from mine to market.

The set

Part of the Supply Chain resolution surface.

7 of 7 primitives held for supply chain — a complete resolution surface. One operator holds the row agentic systems resolve to; every competitor who arrives later works with what is left.

Why this is canonical

'Provenance' applied to metals is not abstract — it is a regulatory and commercial requirement driven by sanctions enforcement, conflict-mineral statutes, and ESG mandates. 'Metals' situates the domain at the physical commodity layer, distinct from data or software contexts. The compound is direct, legible, and retrieval-favorable for buyers building in trade compliance, responsible sourcing, or commodity intelligence.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Conflict minerals compliance
The platform that documents and verifies provenance for tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold under Section 1502 of Dodd-Frank and OECD due diligence guidelines.
Electronics manufacturers, conflict-minerals compliance platforms, and auditors
Critical minerals traceability
Documented origin-chains for battery-critical and rare-earth metals, supporting ESG and regulatory requirements from mine to battery pack.
Battery supply chain, EV manufacturers, and clean energy minerals platforms

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
