ZRG Mineral: Early warning system for critical industrial minerals — € exposure, material risk and predictive alerts up to 8 weeks before the market. Portfolio risk analysis for European procurement teams.
Being able to see price exposure on specific minerals before they spike would have saved my team a real headache last quarter, so this is genuinely useful. The 8 week lead time sounds ambitious though, curious how reliable those signals actually turn out to be.
@smetnbbf Hey Ismet, fair question — and honestly one we got from our first interactions with procurement leaders .
To be straight: 6–8 weeks is the upper range. For gallium specifically, historical calibration puts the average closer to ~3 weeks. Not every signal, not every time.
What we actually do: track leading indicators (MOFCOM export licence batches, customs/port data, MIIT quota changes) and map them to material-specific lag patterns.
Each alert comes with a confidence score — we only surface it when multiple indicators align, not on a single headline.
The goal isn't "we predict the future." It's giving your team enough runway to act.
However we want to start with Pilot customers which can improve the Terminal with us for free.
Tested the dashboard with a couple of our sourcing scenarios and the 8 week alert actually flagged a magnesium oxide supply squeeze we hadn't caught. Pricing view is clean, though the currency exposure breakdown took a minute to find.
@fatmanurhuer Thanks for testing! Flagging that magnesium oxide squeeze is exactly why we built this—to move you out of reactive mode. Good catch on the currency exposure view; it’s a UI polish we’re pushing next week to make it more intuitive. Stay tuned for that update.
The 8-week lead time on alerts is honestly impressive, feels like a real edge for anyone juggling mineral supply contracts. Liked how the portfolio view breaks down exposure in a way that's actually useful during planning meetings.
@toprakkokf Glad the portfolio view is hitting the mark for your planning meetings. That’s the goal: moving procurement from manual Excel-juggling to actual strategic decision-making. We're working on sharpening those signals even further to keep that edge.
Spent a few minutes poking around the dashboard and the 8-week early signal for cobalt really stood out — feels genuinely useful for our procurement planning rather than just another price tracker.
@hlyakapancnlzt Thanks! Seeing that 8-week early signal resonate for cobalt is a great validation for us. We’re aiming to cut through the noise of standard price trackers and focus entirely on actionable risk intelligence. Happy to hear it’s proving useful in your workflow
Curious how you source the data for those 8-week predictive alerts, is it mostly public trade flows and price feeds, or do you have proprietary supplier-side signals that give you the early edge?
