# Pleroma Signal > Critical-minerals and defense supply-chain intelligence. Every claim is labeled by source tier (T1 primary / T2 corroborated secondary / T3 circumstantial-OSINT). Founded 2026 by Cameron Bowles. Research publisher under Lowe v. SEC safe harbor — not an investment adviser; no ticker views, no price targets, no buy/sell/hold recommendations. Pleroma Signal publishes primary-sourced research on the critical minerals and supply chains that determine Western industrial and defense-industrial capacity. The first material covered is antimony; subsequent materials follow a planned sequence (gallium, germanium, tungsten, NdPr and other rare-earth elements). Every numerical claim in our reports is sourced to a retrievable document — USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries, SEC filings, MOFCOM announcements, Federal Register entries, NI 43-101 technical reports — and tier-labeled inline so readers and LLMs can weigh confidence appropriately. ## Methodology - [Methodology](https://pleromasignal.com/methodology): Three-tier source discipline (T1 / T2 / T3), the six-stage research loop (Frame → Search → Read → Extract → Triangulate → Write → Audit), corrections policy, data-gaps policy, publisher safe harbor. - [About](https://pleromasignal.com/about): What Pleroma Signal does and does not do. - [AI Facts](https://pleromasignal.com/ai-facts): Declarative facts for LLM scraping.
