Critical-mineral sourcing intelligence is expensive, slow, and hard to trust. A defense buyer asking "where can we source 5 t/yr of germanium domestically, and what's the supply risk of each option" waits weeks and pays six figures, and still can't fully trust a general AI's answer.
A domain-expertise layer that works with any AI. It answers only from vetted industrial data and operational expertise, not the public web, with a source on every answer. It turns Claude, GPT, or any model into a critical-mineral expert.
Normal AI improvises an answer every time you ask. ElementIQ runs an answer a human expert already worked out and validated, so it's the same every time, traceable to the expert and source, and runs cheap on ordinary CPUs. That is the difference between predicting an answer and executing a validated one, and it is what lets a regulated buyer actually trust it.
