Compare

Different tools. The same material.

Compare what governments have documented: the instruments they use, the legal and financial states their sources support, and the rationale they give. Record counts measure this corpus's coverage, not effectiveness.

Materials by supply-chain stage

The lattice retains separate encodings for government commitments, control clauses and designations. Records can occupy multiple stages. This is a structural view, not an impact or capital total.

Provider / issuer / designating government

Supply-chain stage · select to inspect

Government commitments not ended, a package once Clauses of any status, where covered items belong Designations: standing, not moneyNumbers are record counts. A record at several stages appears at each; no row or column is totalled.

Not on the lattice

26
of 45 control clauses record no stage
8
commitment or option rows record no stage or tracked material (6) or no providing government (2)
8
designations record no stage or tracked material
21
capital rows in other value roles, such as program envelope, budget appropriation, expected co-investment, total project cost, private financing, recipient's own funds and lending authority and the 5 non-binding indications

Each count is for its own kind of record over the whole record, whatever the filters above. They are never added together.

Gallium by government and stage

The same counts for one material, split by the government each record names: the providing government of a commitment, the issuer of a clause, the designating government of a designation.

Reading this view

A government appears in the role its records give it, and can hold more than one. Counts are records, not money, and not a measure of how much a government has done.

Choosing the material

Select any marked node on the lattice above; this section follows the material you select.

Filtering

“Government” applies the same rule to the whole lattice above: providers for commitments, issuers for clauses, designating governments for designations.

Gallium: licensing exports and supporting recovery

Two documented approaches to gallium supply chains. These records differ in date, scope and legal character. Their juxtaposition does not establish that one caused the other.

Inspect all coded gallium policy events

Status basis: corpus revised 3 Nov 2026. Amounts keep their source-stated currencies and qualifiers; these examples are not summed. Official rationale is separately quoted on the framing comparison.

Compare policy coverage by material and government

Choose a populated cell to see the mechanisms, latest event and filtered policy records behind it. Compare within a material, then inspect the sources before drawing a substantive conclusion.

The cells count distinct coded policy events, not financial values, legal strength or industrial outcomes. A multi-material event appears in multiple rows; totals overlap. An empty cell means no coded event, not no real-world activity.

Tracked materials (rows) by jurisdiction (columns). Each cell is the number of coded policy events in which that jurisdiction acted on that material. Cells with events are buttons that reveal the mechanisms, the latest date and a link to those events.
