DOMINO | The Dutch Observer for Materials Intelligence and Operations
The Dutch Observer for Materials Intelligence and Operations, or DOMINO, developed by HCSS with support from the Netherlands Materials Observatory (NMO), 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. DOMINO organises large volumes of 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
