The HCSS Datalab presents: CARMEN, the Critical Raw Materials Early Navigation Dashboard

October 17, 2025

Today, the HCSS Datalab proudly presents the Critical Raw Materials Early Navigation (CARMEN) dashboard, a tool developed to help organisations navigate the volatile world of critical raw materials. It brings together near real-time financial, and market data to secure essential materials while minimising exposure to risk.

Watch the explainer video below, or go directly to the CARMEN landing page.

Access Tool

CARMEN is built for policymakers and analysts navigating rising instability, price shocks and sourcing risks by providing an early action dashboard that is based on financial critical raw materials (CRM) data. Today CRMs aren’t just a supply chain issue, they’re central to geopolitics, geo-economics, national resilience and defence.

The tool consists of three components, the Country Risk, Financial Risk, and Secure Supply modules.

In total, CARMEN contains financial data relating to 87 materials from various sourcing countries such as Australia, Brazil and China, which are updated daily.

We invite organisations and governments to discover how CARMEN can enhance strategic CRM planning and decision-making. If you’re interested in our methodological notes, accessing the tool or contributing to its development, please reach out at datalab@hcss.nl.

Discover how CARMEN can strengthen your organisation’s approach to critical raw materials and supply-chain security.
