Pick a company to see where it actually produces — every country in its footprint, shaded by capacity share — overlaid with the countries whose register actions name it (severity ring + action count), plus violet arcs to the chokepoint countries its material inputs depend on. The map is a lens; the dossier and register are the source of record.
BASF SE produces across 9 countries — 40% of mapped capacity sits in 🇩🇪 Germany (HQ 🇩🇪 Germany).

8 register actions name BASF SE, issued from 4 countries (top: 🇪🇺 European Union ×4) — 2 of those also sit in its production footprint (regulator ∩ producer).

Named counterparties: this dossier names 2 firms with a source; 0 are in this corpus with a mapped footprint.1 other dossier names BASF SE from the other side (supplier). 2 named firms could not be placed on the map — named in a primary source but not yet onboarded as a dossier, or onboarded without a production footprint. Named, not missing.
Reading the map: green shading = the company's production countries by capacity share, with dots at facility cities (dashed = approximate, country-level). Violet arcs = INPUT DEPENDENCIES — they run from the country that dominates world production/refining of a material the company consumes to the company's base; the % is that country's share of world supply at the named stage, NOT an import/export volume. Severity rings = countries whose register actions name the company.
