Supply chain, stage by stage
Gallium's row of the lattice: what the record places at each stage. Counts are records per stage, never money; a record coded to several stages is counted at each, so the stages have no total. The last column holds records that name Gallium and record no stage, so the lattice cannot place them.

A designation is a government's recognition of a project under a named scheme. It records standing, not money, and covers only the stages and materials the designation names. A project is the registry record of the site or venture. Shared stage codes are not a finding.
Registry projects with no designation naming Gallium
Not placed by stage: a project's own stage list is not a designation, and the lattice places only designations.

2 capital rows name this project: U.S. Department of Commerce to USA Rare Earth, Inc.; U.S. Department of Commerce to USA Rare Earth, Inc.
Capital and controls
Each capital row is shown at its own amount, in its own currency, exactly as the record states it. Nothing here adds up, splits or converts an amount, so a row that names several materials shows its whole amount and a part sits inside its package without being added again.
Capital rows (10 naming Gallium; 8 shown at top level, 2 inside a package)
Public commitments (8)
Committed to a recipient by a government or public enterprise, at the status each row states. A contracted, partially disbursed or disbursed row is binding because an agreement is executed; payment is tracked separately by status. A contracted row need not mean funds are obligated or paid, and a partially disbursed row is not fully paid.
