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
Sourcemap describes multi-tier mapping, supplier data collection, traceability and due-diligence workflows. Its public positioning includes verification and regulatory compliance for supply-chain organisations. That is a different evidentiary process from curating public company and facility disclosures.
Provider source ↗Is the evidence public, or does it need to come from your suppliers?
Public disclosures can help identify likely dependencies and relevant operations. They cannot always establish the exact chain used for a customer's order. When a business needs product-level traceability or supplier attestations, direct data collection and verification may be necessary.
A rare-earth research tool can make those requests more informed. It may show that a claimed alternative still needs clarification about separation or alloy production. But an external research finding should not be presented as a chain-of-custody record, and a supplier's unsupported statement should not automatically resolve an evidentiary gap.
How the work differs
Use Oreline to establish the researched company and facility context, identify known routes and inspect source dates. Turn gaps into specific supplier questions. If the decision requires verified customer-specific traceability, take those questions into the appropriate supplier-engagement process.
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
Better traceability questions begin with knowing which operations and material stages need explaining. Oreline helps your team establish that context and identify gaps in the disclosed chain. Explore a sandbox route, then use the resulting questions in your supplier verification process; research is not chain-of-custody certification.
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.
Sourcemap 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
- Define whether public evidence or customer-specific verification is required.
- Ask how supplier claims are validated and updated.
- Keep an industry route distinct from the route used for a particular order.
Frequently asked questions
Does Oreline certify material origin?
No. It provides researched evidence and identifies gaps; it does not certify a product's chain of custody.
Can public research help a traceability programme?
Yes. It can identify relevant entities and inconsistencies and improve the questions asked of suppliers, while remaining distinct from verified order-level evidence.
