Today, the HCSS Datalab proudly presents the Dutch Observer for Materials Intelligence and Operations (DOMINO) dashboard, a tool that provides a near real-time synthesis of global events that impact critical raw material supply chains. It enables decision-makers and industry stakeholders to understand potential domino effects, where a single change can trigger a cascade of consequences that affect supply chain security. Developed with support from the Netherlands Materials Observatory (NMO).
Watch the explainer video below, or go directly to the DOMINO landing page.
DOMINO organises large volumes of near real-time critical raw materials news data from a wide range of international outlets through an AI-automated pipeline that applies a tailored taxonomy. The results are visualised in an interactive dashboard. In this dashboard you can explore trends, search for content or generate reports on 50+ materials, 40+ event types, more than 200 countries and administrative units, 3 actor categories (public, private and non-governmental) and 20+ supply chains.
DOMINO is under continuous development, with the long-term aim of evolving from a monitoring tool into an early warning system for supply disruptions. Stay tuned for updates in 2026. If you’re interested in our methodological notes please reach out at datalab@hcss.nl
