The short comparison
Investigate the rare-earth chain.
A curated dataset of companies, facilities, output and disclosed relationships, with evidence, comparisons, saved investigations and assumption-based scenarios.
Published offering
Altana's public critical-minerals research examines upstream exposure in automotive and electronics value chains and describes connecting supply-chain partners in a product network. Its proposition is relevant to value-chain visibility and trade-related decisions. Its public research illustrates product-network exposure across multiple tiers.
Provider source ↗Do you need a market model or a model of your products?
A public rare-earth research model can identify important operations and reported connections. A product-specific network needs to establish how those operations relate to the particular goods your business makes or buys. That requires more than knowing that both involve magnets.
When evaluating a platform, ask which links are observed, supplier-confirmed, inferred or unknown. Then ask what evidence supports the connection to your product. An extensive network can be valuable, but a buyer needs to understand whether a particular route is documented or a hypothesis requiring verification.
How the work differs
Use Oreline to investigate the external rare-earth chain and distinguish documented routes from company-level agreements. Compare facilities and apply explicit disruption assumptions. Treat a connection to your own product as a separate validation task unless the evidence supports it.
Sources, reporting periods and evidence gaps remain visible throughout the investigation. Coverage is reviewed rather than exhaustive or live, and undisclosed quantities stay unknown. Read how the analysis handles them.
Why Oreline for this work
For rare-earth strategy and sourcing research, start with the industrial evidence your team can inspect today. Oreline connects researched operations and disclosed relationships in a usable investigation workflow. Explore the sandbox, then use your own supplier evidence to validate any connection to the products you buy.
Pricing and access
Oreline costs $1,000 USD per organisation per month, including 20 individual seats and access to the published research library, curated dataset and investigation tools. See the subscription details.
Altana pricing is not quoted here. When comparing costs, account for the required modules, team access, data rights and contract term. Oreline's organisation plan includes the published research and working tools in one subscription.
Oreline’s free sandbox needs no account and contains selected examples. It is a product evaluation, not free access to the full subscription workspace.
What to test before buying
- Ask how each relationship is evidenced and what its confidence label means.
- Separate industry exposure from exposure tied to a particular product.
- Confirm which customer inputs and partner participation the deployment requires.
Frequently asked questions
Can a country-level exposure finding prove the route used by our product?
Not on its own. The connection to your product needs supporting evidence or validated supplier information.
Why consider Oreline if Altana covers critical minerals?
Oreline provides a focused workspace for inspecting rare-earth facilities, production evidence and relationships. Teams can explore a guided investigation in the sandbox and then use the subscriber workspace for their own recurring research.
