Method
Built to be compared and checked
Comparable
Each intervention is classified by jurisdiction, instrument, material and implementation status, so measures can be compared across governments.
Auditable
Claims link to the government publication, legislation or disclosure behind them.
Careful with money
The tracker separates announcements, authorizations, commitments and disbursements rather than treating every figure as money spent.

Research
Two kinds of research output
Tungsten Supply Security
Compares how China, the EU, the UK and Japan act on tungsten: Chinese export licensing, EU Strategic Project designation, a UK package of £71m in which a £25m core loan has been drawn, and Japanese grants.
Antimony Supply Resilience
Applied Strategy 001 works through antimony supply options for a hypothetical defense manufacturer, with a model and stated assumptions. The manufacturer is invented; the case does not describe a real company.
