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.
South32 Limited produces across 4 countries — 40% of mapped capacity sits in 🇦🇺 Australia (HQ 🇦🇺 Australia).
material exposures: copper · manganese · silver · zinc · bauxite-aluminium
3 register actions name South32 Limited, issued from 1 country (top: 🇿🇦 South Africa ×3) — 1 of those also sit in its production footprint (regulator ∩ producer).

Its 5 scored input materials trace to 2 supplier countries — 1 refines >70% in a single country. Top input chokepoint: 🇨🇳 China (manganese 90%, aluminium 61%, copper 48%, +1) — nearest ex-🇨🇳 manganese producer: 🇿🇦 South Africa ~5% — ~6-12mo to ramp (share-of-stage heuristic, not a sourced qualification time).Armed chokepoint: 🇨🇳 China has itself issued 1 register action restricting the input it already dominates — manganese (1) — max severity 2/5. This share is a demonstrated lever, not just a concentration.Latest: China (Xiangxi, Hunan Province): Launch of CNY 1 Billion Xiangxi Industrial Development Guidance Fund · 2025-05-07 · 517d ago

Named counterparties: this dossier names 1 firm with a source; 0 are in this corpus with a mapped footprint.1 other dossier names South32 Limited from the other side (supplier). 1 named firm 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.
